" I have experienced other coaches & consultants in the past. But within a month or so they are forgotten about; you tend to go back to your old habits. What Mark Bennett brought to us was different, we are living it; we are working it."

EXECUTIVE COACHING & MENTORING

My executive coaching is customized to meet the needs of senior leaders, & executive teams. I offer confidential & impartial support to help you enhance your leadership methodology, organizational culture, & business performance. My coaching approach provides a unique combination of support & challenge to help maximise your wellness & performance.

Performance is a Behaviour, Not an Outcome

Whether you're the director at the top or senior management, it can be an extremely lonely place. It is rare to have impartial people around you who can have those difficult & challenging conversations without fear of repercussions (even when you say they can challenge you).

It can also be tricky not to get caught up in echo chambers & confirmation bias, which can influence your judgement.

My coaching & mentoring approach is based on identifying the key sources of performance inhibitors, & then building a strategy to enhance those areas.

My experience & expertise have been developed over 3 decades, working with & supporting leaders across a range of environments -

Business directors & senior managers
Military leaders
Professional sports managers & head coaches dealing with team selections, results, media scrutiny

Are you looking for someone patient & relentless, who will challenge & support you in equal measure, who isn't afraid to have those important & sometimes uncomfortable conversations without judgment? Then get in touch today.

Common Performance Impactors

Some common performance & management inhibitors that are overlooked that can be resolved with my performance methodology -

Invisible Expectations

You become continually frustrated when other people's behaviours & quality of output/outcome fall below your expectations.

Even when you believe the standards are clear, this can lead to you managing them more than you want.

Correcting Reflex

You share advice & direction with others, as you want them to be successful. But unknowingly, by doing so, they rely on you more & become less confident & competent in making decisions & executing them without your input.

The Presence of 'Grey'

You become frustrated or confused with some staff, who seem not to understand simple tasks that seemed clear. This may be with you, or with other staff, or departments. Common replies were 'I misunderstood what you meant', 'must just be a communication issue', 'that's not how I understood it'

Outcome Driven

The markers of success are based on outcomes. Staff review success or failure, focussing on outcomes, but are ineffective at separating outcomes from influencers & sources of success or failure.

This can lead to slow changes, repeat errors or inaccurate adaptations.
