I’m Mark Lister and I coach leaders. I’m based in Edinburgh, Scotland and coach people across the UK.
Whether working with individuals, groups or executive teams, my approach to coaching is effective, powerful and straightforward. I’m patient and persistent. I’m straight-talking and totally non-judgmental. I believe in coaching the person as a whole, because the whole person shows up at work.
I’m a fully trained and experienced coach, and have been coaching professionally since 2004. I trained in 2004 with the internationally acclaimed Coaches Training Institute, and in 2008 took their Coaching Certification program.
I’ve always run my own businesses. Before becoming a coach, my background was musical. For ten years I ran a recording studio, and specialised in composing and producing music for film and TV. This means I have a strong connection to small businesses, and also that I bring fresh perspectives when I work with leaders within larger organisations.
Coaching and self-development have had a huge and positive impact on me in many areas of my business and personal life. It’s a powerful and flexible tool, and I have a strong personal commitment that businesses in Scotland should take advantage of it to leverage their huge potential.
