England West; Wales
My background is steeped in sport – a Masters graduate from Loughborough University, former England international netball player and National Coach to Wales and the Republic of Ireland netball teams, I have also been sport scientist to the England and Welsh national rugby teams. My involvement in coaching drew me into the corporate world, where I realised that many of the principles and practices used in high performance sport were readily transferable to the business world.
My thirst for knowledge about human development, adult learning and authentic leadership together with my coaching and teaching background and experience in business and sport have strongly influenced my approach to developing individuals and teams, combining a goal-focussed, outcome orientated approach with a respect for the unique, holistic needs of the individuals.

MARK HARRIS
Executive Coaching, Leadership Development, Team Building, Training, Marketing Consulting, Marketing Strategy, and Mobile Marketing.
Twelve years ago, after working for start-ups, fast-growing enterprises and reputable corporate brands such as O2 and EDF Energy, I started coaching marketing to business owners.
My transition was sparked by several events and encouraged by a very good friend of mine, Simon Tyler. We had worked together at ICI, where my career in Marketing began. Ten years ago we reconnected, by which time Simon had become a Coach. His career move inspired me to put my skills and experience towards something I really cared about: helping others realise their potential. Best practice, best service: I now split my time between being a Coach, a Mentor and a Marketing Director for British & American companies through Marketing Boost. This means I never lose sight of what a business feels like; what I teach is what I practice every week.
