Mark Harries
United Kingdom
What Was The Situation Before You Started Working With Mark?
I was struggling to get any work done on my businesses and my relationship was at a low. I felt very down and lacking energy, I was in a depressed state a lot of the time, ruminating excessively.
What Made You Decide To Work With Mark?
I liked Mark's presentation, and it was his honest straight up no bullshit approach. I felt that I needed someone to tell me how it is. Also I was at a point in my life where I felt everything was in crisis. I had to do something and I felt like I needed a helping hand.
What Would You Say To Others Thinking About Working With Mark?
I really liked the experience as tough as it was. It has made me see just how much I let my thoughts rule me. I am now looking more inside as to what I want instead of being pulled in every direction by the latest podcast or book.
I learned how much I've been glossing over the truth and making excuses. I'd been coasting for years and years and the this process forced me to look at some tough truths. I also learnt that I've been focusing way too much of what's wrong, while giving little credit to myself for what is right.
Be prepared to work for it, go in with some clear intentions of what you want from it. Don't go in unless you're 100% committed. And be curious and open to what comes up. Be brutally honest with yourself and you'll find some gold.
I like working with Mark because he'll call you out on your bullshit. He's clearly driven to help you progress and will keep you accountable. He's a great listener and helps you see insights you may never have seen otherwise. He has helped me see things in a very simple manner.
David Barker
United Kingdom
What Was The Situation Before You Started Working With Mark?
I had not long got sober again and was giving my marriage one more try, I felt under a lot of pressure and didn't feel I could move forward at all.
What Made You Decide To Work With Mark?
Being in recovery for addiction I had learned that I need to reach out and that I can't do everything myself and that the only way to move forward is to take action.
How Did You Find The Process?
Like life changing, really, I lived my life believing these stories about myself to be true and making some pretty insane decisions based on them, both in my life and business. I learned that a lot of my beliefs were built on false truths and a lot of this is reflected in my recovery. It made sense to me that we worked to deconstruct the old beliefs and rebuild new ones to start the process of transformation.
What Would You Say To Others Thinking About Working With Mark?
My life today doesn't compere to how it was a year ago when I first made contact with Mark, it is immeasurably better in all aspects. Working with Mark has been revealing, inspiring and life changing. If you really want to change how your life is and break out of the same circle you are forever caught in, if you are ready to commit to do what is needed and you give yourself fully to the program, it works and it will change your life.
I am a coach myself as well as a counsellor in training and Mark is the best coach I have worked with. His brilliant online platform is designed to get you to examine your processes and beliefs and then guide you to take focussed action; but more than that, Mark has a deep empathic understanding of how people think and behave and can meet you where ever you are in your career or personal journey, while at the same time holding you to account. Mark is an excellent coach who was well worth the investment. He really helped me to negotiate a difficult stuck period in my life.
Mark is a great coach. I've found him to be down-to-earth and highly relatable. He knows his stuff, as you'd expect, openly sharing learnings, experiences and coaching tools as and when appropriate. My journey to date has been about:
a) overcoming the past, including old beliefs I'd held on to and stresses from past experiences, and b) building resilience, which has helped massively throughout the Covid pandemic. None of which would have been possible without Mark's coaching skills and tools. I can't recommend him highly enough.
James Quigley
United Kingdom
I’ve worked with Mark for over a year now, and if I had to sum up what I’ve gained from his coaching, it would be clarity, direction and ideas.
I was initially drawn to Mark because of his demonstrable experience. What hit me during our initial chats is that he was genuine – he did want to help in any way he could.
The problem that I had, is that I ‘sort of knew what I wanted’, but I didn’t have the answers. So quite quickly, Mark, with his experience was able draw out clarity in those ideas and suggest some direction for us to move forward with.
It’s a unique person who has both intellect and creativity, but that’s exactly what Mark has shown me in the time we’ve worked together. Mark is always able to see both the detail and the big picture.
It can be quite challenging when you step into a new path that you’re unfamiliar with, and all roads look new and you lack that confidence to almost keep moving forward because you don’t know if it’s the right way, and so Mark’s personal support and coaching has also helped me to break free of those chains holding me back.
I would recommend Mark to anyone considering personal or business coaching. Without him, I would probably have just ended up going round in circles wondering why everything I tried never achieved any level of success and now I just trust the process.

"Mark is a huge and crucial part of what I have accomplished, I'm so grateful to have him in my life. He dialled in my clarity. I was hitting a wall for the longest time & I didn't know what to do. Thanks to Mark, my clarity levels went sky high and I realised what I needed to do. The new ideas, concepts and ways of thinking blew my mind."

What Was The Situation Before You Started Working With Mark?
I was stuck. All of the changes I'd made in my life weren't making any difference, I just kept ending up in the same place. I was living day to day without real plans for the future. I had experienced lots of personal development, done a lot of self reflection, worked hard to address issues that I experienced and yet at best I was just surviving.
What Made You Decide To Work With Mark?
I liked the fact it was a programme that I had to commit to do the work for. I liked the fact that it didn't seem easy and it described the issues I was facing; making changes, seeing great results and then eventually ending up back where I started. It had to be now, as I wasn't prepared to put up with this situation any longer.
What Would You Say To Others Thinking About Working With Mark?
Do it. It will change your life and that of your family. In turn it will create a butterfly effect that will have an ways you can't even imagine. Invest in you, do the hard work, because it's the only way to truly make the difference. This is the most important and valuable thing that I have ever done. It has and will forever be responsible for changing my life.
I feel like I am capable of anything now. I now know that when approaching all areas of my life I'm doing it from a place of clarity and power, not from a place of fear...which is massive for me.
P.M. UNITED KINGDOM
I felt exhausted and overwhelmed with life, work, and family. I was just feeling burned out with no focus. Through this process I realised that by sticking to the facts, I could avoid telling myself stories or giving reasons as to why I wasn't doing a particular thing. It allowed me space to acknowledge how I felt but also gave me the focus I needed to move towards my end result. My biggest insight was understanding and becoming aware of why I was so stuck in my life. It's been quite a journey. It's taught me more about who I am and what drives me. It's highlighted my strengths and it's help me understand why I had limiting beliefs. I feel I now know what's required and how I can make things happen.
c.n. UNITED KINGDOM
Before working with Mark I felt that I was stuck waiting for things to happen and this had been the case for over a year. I liked Mark's straight talking approach and I believed it was time to get off my arse and start doing something. I learned I need to open up more and when I say I'm going to commit to something, than I need to do that, not just say the words. I've learned that if I plan an outcome and work back in small chunks it bloody works! It has changed my life. I feel more positive and open. If you're thinking of working with Mark then get off your arse and do it, you'll never look back.
H.C. - united kingdom
Before you we started working together, what was the situation, what problems were you facing and how did you feel?
Before we started working together. I had a false sense of confidence through believing strategies or ways of working were either right or wrong - I wouldn't even consider giving other options space out of fear of them falling into the bad category.
To be honest, I just felt lost. I felt so stuck in this lens of seeing things as right or wrong, which actually just kept me frozen in a space where I couldn't move forward. I had zero structure.
How Long Had You Been Feeling Likes This?
I felt like this from day one of starting my business, but I also realised that all of my beliefs and ways of thinking have been with me my whole life. I've always been scared to test the waters out of fear of it being the wrong thing to do, and stuck within "safe" parameters which were keeping me above water, but not letting me live in a way that I wanted.
What Did You Choose To Work With Me & Why Was Now The Right Time To Take Action?
I really liked your simple, no BS approach. I worked with a few people 1:1 for a variety of reasons but I was tired of fluffy conversation, and paying people who still held back from being straight with me when it came to what was holding me back. A lot of people find it difficult to articulate that to a client but not Mark.
Now was the right time because I quit my corporate job to start my own business, and I had the time, energy, and motivation to take action.
Now We Have Been Working Together For 8 Weeks, How Is your Business & Life Compared To How It Was Before?
My business has taken a lot of turns and I've landed an opportunity that could potentially turbo boost my business growth. My confidence in what I can achieve has also turbo boosted and I'm ready for opportunities to manifest out of making a structured plan.
The best way I can explain it is that I feel that I have expanded. I now understand what true growth feels like.
If You Had To Sum Up Your Experience Of Working With Me in just 3 words, what would they be?
Expansion. Mind blown. Breakthrough
What Would You SayTo Others Who Are Considering Working With Me?
Just do it. You won't come across someone easily who will be straight with you and call you out on your BS whilst still being compassionate and non-judgemental. This is an investment that will change your life. I couldn't imagine, or want to work with anyone else.
L.B. United kingdom
I am a different person to 8 weeks ago and I am in the driver seat of my life now. I feel better about me. I have rediscovered who I am, what I like, what I want to do. I don't react in the old alarming way to things. If I was on a scale of 0-10, 0 being in a bad place then I have jumped from 0 to 10. I have enjoyed the journey, support and un-judgemental space Mark created. It has changed my life and how I think forever. I no longer feel helpless. These are life-long skills that are instilled.
m.c. United kingdom
Going into this my expectations were pretty high because I know Mark is very good at what he does but all my expectations were exceeded and he more than delivered. It was phenomenal. I think sometimes we get caught where we want to go to next level but we are fearful or we don't know how to and what Mark did was lay out a structure and a process that is easy to follow and makes sense. I've done lots of courses and training before but this was more value than I've ever experienced before. I can't thank Mark enough.
L.c. United kingdom
Just completed a two day intensive with Mark, it's been quite different and taken things to a whole new level. He completely opened my eyes and skilfully pulled out everything I've been thinking for years. Mark is the definite choice if you have ever contemplated doing something like this, he's an absolute genius at what he does and it's life changing stuff.
R.l. United kingdom
An amazing couple of days that challenged me in all sorts of different ways and allowed me to discover things about myself that I didn't really know. I've come away feeling excited about the future and with a really clear vision and goal. I'm so glad I trusted my instincts to do this and invested in myself. Do it. It's awesome.
J.G. United kingdom
This wasn't easy but it was great. I would recommend anyone to come and work with Mark. I got the clarity I needed and now no where I am going and feel so much better.
k.l. United kingdom
Mark helped me to clarify what it is I want to do with my new career. If you are looking to further your business or take yourself in a different direction, do yourself a favour and contact Mark, the process has been remarkable. He can 100% help on your journey.
