Testimonials

“I have greatly enjoyed with Mark and Leading Change. Our program experienced substantial advantages from their contribution and expertise. They brought immense clarity to a very complex and politically charged program, helped us view pros and cons in an objective way, enabled us to prioritise what matters and what does not and instil laser sharp focus on delivery. Two years to-date since the program started, my team (and myself, specifically) still harvest the fruits of our collaboration. Highly recommended. Thanks”

Group Director. Trader Media Group, 6 June 2009

"I worked with Leading Change on a recent project to enhance the effectiveness of a global remote working team. They had many good ideas, understanding and insight into the best methods of meeting these objectives and delivered a customised course that achieved this goal. It was a pleasure working with Leading Change knowing that their knowledge, expertise and professionalism ensured a great outcome."

I would highly recommend them.”

Group Resourcing & Development Manager, Trader Media Group, 29 Oct 2009

 “I have had the pleasure of working with Mark on a number of projects over the last 4-5 years. The first of these involved long-term team performance and team development activities that resulted in an enormous improvement in team moral, productivity and efficiency. The outcome being an early delivery of a complex, high profile drug development programme. Since this initial success I have worked with Mark and Leading Change on a series of business management or business change activities in which they have been a consistent provider of high quality, high value insight and advice. Mark has great people skills, takes time to understand his clients, has first class problem solving skills and has done a great job every time I have worked with him.”

He is a great coach and facilitator, enabling teams to improve their own effectiveness and sense of direction. His clarity of thought and focus on the ultimate goal can really help both team leaders and more senior leaders get to where they need to be more quickly.”

Senior Director Clinical Pharmacology, Pfizer, 5 May 2009

“Mark has worked with me and my research leadership peers to great impact on our shared mission - which he helped us crystallise. Previously, he worked specifically with me on my own Therapy Area Mission and the improved performance we delivered since is now almost the stuff of fables! I know others in Pfizer have also worked with Mark to great effect and I happily recommend him. If you need to get clear about what you want to achieve and why, and only then move onto the how, Mark is tops.”

Business Innovation Director, Pfizer, 7 July 2007

“Having now worked with Mark on several different projects, I can highly recommend him to help you with your business problem. My first encounter with Mark was when I needed to provide ‘behind the scenes’ coaching for one of my team members. This Mark did with a remarkably light touch and a high degree of professionalism. The end result was a well coached and motivated individual who was later able to be promoted. I later turned to Mark when I was introducing a new way of working to 60 fellow colleagues. This complex project required organisation, facilitation, leadership and a high level of co-ordination while keeping it fun and upbeat. Once again Mark with a small team came through to help me launch and embed a sensitive new way of working. For me, Mark is a great resource who has helped me out of some  “Mark provided exactly what was required when it came to forming a new European management team. His expertise, delivery and quality of materials were excellent and helped take the team from good to great.”

Global Category Director,  Numico (now Groupe Danone), 5 July 2007

 “Mark delivered simple and relevant leadership and performance management programmes that helped to shape and focus key Guinness innovation projects. He personally enabled us to leverage great ideas to be delivered, measurable global /regional programmes with key outcomes and crystal clarity amongst those accountable. Notably he assisted in the turnaround of an idea in Asia to a globally recognised programme internally, which subsequently became 'hot property' in North America. One thing that impresses me about Mark is his style - open but direct - and his timely challenges to our thinking usually meant a better outcome. I would seek opportunities to work with Mark in the future.”

Director Guinness Quality, Innovation & Renovation, Diageo, 13 February 2008

“Mark worked to pull together a disparate set of directors and managers to create a high performing and outcome focused project team, when engaged with Global Guinness Innovation.”

Brand Innovation Manager, Diageo, 31 July 2007

 “Mark takes the time to understand the needs of the customer and design a focused program that will deliver clear and measureable results.”
