Marketing advisor and executive coach | Zollikon Labs
| Marketing Week Mini MBA with Mark Ritson

Reaching goals and overcoming challenges starts with transformational conversations. That’s why I became a coach after a career in tech and marketing. I went from numbers to people because the greatest insights happen when thoughts and ideas are refined through the process of curious and skilled dialogue.

In the right environment a flicker of an idea is developed into robust conviction. So when you talk to the people that matter in your life, you will be ready to present your best ideas. And when you make a change, you will stick with it.

Ideas start to carry weight when they change your actions. My coaching process is designed to create commitment to lasting change. This isn’t magic, it is about verbalising, developing and committing to your goals and ideas.

Drop me a line to set up a free introductory call.

Key practice areas:
