Pleased to meet you! Allow me to introduce myself:
I am an Accredited Coach, Licensed Career Coach, Master NLP Practitioner and podcast host specialising in empowering people to make exciting and transformational career changes. 🌟
As a Chartered Manager and Chartered Engineer, I previously led multi-disciplinary highway infrastructure teams in local government for 28 years.
I also enjoy:
- Walking every day
- Reading and listening to audiobooks
- Listening to good music
- Travelling far and wide with my wife Andrea 

My own career journey helps me as a coach to provide transformative support around your career aspirations.
My clients say, ‘ I bring calmness and confidence to my coaching’ and that ‘ I help them regain their clarity’.


Personal and professional development has always been my passion, as has coaching and supporting people to achieve their best. I qualified as a coach in 2005 and felt honoured to help my clients create change while supporting them to move to a more exciting and fulfilled career place. When working with my clients, I help them to create exciting options and to develop a sense of control and choice.


In the beginning, I wasn’t working full-time as a coach …


As a Chartered Manager and Chartered Civil Engineer, I worked in local government for 28 years, most of that time as a Service Manager leading an operational workforce of 60 staff and using staff coaching as an instrument for change. It was a rewarding career and one that I enjoyed. However, I began to wonder if something else was in store for me, a future challenge I could relish and enjoy more than my current role.


Having qualified as a coach and an NLP Master Practitioner earlier in my career, it was a fantastic realisation that I wanted to support people in their professional journey and help them live their best lives at work.


Having been coaching for 15 years, I started Bravo Coaching in 2019, working as a full-time career coach. My podcast, Mid Career Change, followed in 2020 and continues to be a source of inspiration and career wisdom for professionals worldwide. In 2023 I was honoured to be asked to host the Association for Coaching Podcast series on career coaching.

Why I recommend Mark ...
Mark has supported me in my career and business over the last 6 months. In providing support, Mark offered a bespoke solution and help in solving important aspects of work/life/family balance. Working together has left me more organised, confident and inspired to achieve greater success in my career, while creating greater focus on my desire to integrate health, family and wellbeing into my already successful career. I would definitely recommend working with Mark to support you in your career, whether starting out, changing direction, or tweaking an already successful career to improve health and wellbeing.
Sharon Weetman Senior Project Manager, GMCA


I engaged with Mark during a period career when I was ready for change. Mark supported me to identify the things of importance to me, personally and professionally, and plan a career strategy. Mark is skilled in helping you identify the core issues and moving you to an end goal of career fulfilment, happiness, and personal growth. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who needs support in their career; our work together has left me with a clear action plan for my future and a renewed love and excitement for my career.
