Coaching

Mark Dailey is an executive business coach trained by Meyler Campbell and registered with the World Association of Business Coaches (WABC).

 

“The positioning of the coach as kind, generous of spirit, optimistic, worthy of trust and keen to facilitate improved performance and heightened insight and awareness is very similar to the positioning of the authentic leader.” 

Coaching senior leaders

His particular focus is on strengthening and transforming presentational and communication skills and helping leaders understand how to project a stronger personal brand without compromising congruence or core values. He is increasingly helping senior leaders navigate accelerated change and articulate purpose and direction.

Results focused coaching
