Bespoke talks and workshops for companies
I have loved my 30 year career in the field of management training! I have been fortunate enough to have worked with some of the world’s most impressive organisations, including Unilever, HSBC, Tesco, GlaxoSmithKline, Philips, Pernod Ricard and the Red Cross.
I would now like to utilise my training skills in the mental wellbeing arena by delivering talks and running workshops for business, schools and universities, both virtually and face to face.
The primary objective of these sessions is to help individuals achieve their ambitions by better understanding and managing their mental health.
Which key themes are covered?
BUILDING YOUR BANISTERS: Establishing a set of daily ‘Doing’ and ‘Thinking’ routines which will help both preserve and strengthen your wellbeing by helping you manage stress more effectively both at home and at work
A ROUND PEG IN A ROUND HOLE: Better understanding your own strengths, weaknesses and core values and ensuring there is a close fit between you and your chosen career so that you can minimize the impact of ‘bad’ stress
REACHING FOR THE STARS SAFELY: Helpful steps to take in order to protect your mental health when you are climbing the career ladder and want to transition successfully from one job role to the next.
“Mark delivered a thought-provoking session which focused specifically on the dangers of excessive stress. He drew extensively from his own experiences of work-related stress and introduced a number of very practical frameworks from his book. Mark also managed to deliver a heavy topic in a way which made it easy to digest.”
Katie Torode, Unilever

'It was the most useful talk the Sixth Form has had on coping with stress and anxiety. Mark offered practical suggestions that they could all relate to and implement. I have never had so much positive feedback from a talk.”
Debbie Kratt, St George’s School, Ascot
”It’s not easy delivering a talk about mental health to teenage boys, but I felt that Mark did a great job of landing a tricky topic skilfully, sensitively and laced with a touch of humour! It was also very gratifying to see such high levels of engagement, even from boys where I wasn’t expecting it.”
