LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO REVEAL YOUR GREATNESS
Achieve Your Mark exists to challenge teams and individuals to live and lead with intention and seize the opportunities before them. The net result is leaders who choose wisely, live authentically, and who feel lit up in their work.
I build foundations and shape the conditions for high-performance. My expertise is in supporting change-makers and teams who aspire to shift their thinking, explore possibilities and foster opportunities to drive constructive change – strategically putting intention into action. Together, we can co-create the approach for making the change that is on their mind(s), build capacity and make an impact.

Achieve Your Mark is committed to:
- Helping you see the gaps, gain a bigger perspective and see the whole truth
- A purpose-driven approach. I am always asking: “Is what we’re doing achieving what we’re really here for?” and “Is what we’re doing focused on achieving clarity and fulfilling the project’s purpose?”
- Creating the conditions for the tough questions to be asked and important conversations to happen. I bring an exceptional ability for holding a safe, neutral space to explore opportunities and possibilities.
- Skillfully working with, and navigating between all levels of your organization – I bring an undiluted commitment to every person within the organization.
THE VALUE OF COACHING
When I talk about the coaching process - evidence of purposeful sustained change. A change into our thinking precedes a change in behaviours. Coaching allows leaders to be clear-minded.
Unlock your potential - so overused. Allows you to access your ability to connect to their own clear thinking. Their best ideas, cut out all the bullshit and connect to what matters most to them and their beliefs - connect to their own power and act from that place instead of responding to the system. (ie: pressures of the organization and how it works)
Coaching is not about solving a singular or specific problem, or offering up answers to clients. A coach assumes that you are the expert in your field, and that you know the best answers to the problems you are trying to solve. It is the coach’s job to ask the right questions to help you connect to your own best thinking and uncover your own truth.

(Individual) Leadership
You’ve got vision, and have your sites set on making positive change. While you’ve come a long way, you know you’re going to need support to make a transformative impact. You need someone you can trust in your corner, someone who can help you to uncover blindspots and see challenging situations with clarity. You value your team, and know that your growth as a leader will help them to do and be their best.

(Team) Collaboration
You recognize the importance and the challenge of the work your team carries out on a day to day basis. You know that in order to achieve the goals set out before them, every team member needs to be fully engaged; they’re going to require a high-level of trust amongst each other and with leadership; they need to have eachothers backs, and to be accountable for carrying out their responsibilities. You’re willing to invest in your team to make it the best it can be.

Partnership
A specific project you are working on has reached a new level of complexity and grown to a scope that you could not have anticipated. You know that getting the best results for your clients will require support. You need a partner to brainstorm with, and your client needs help to see the big picture to navigate challenging situations. You see the key to success lying in transparency, collaboration, and strong relationships.
