STEP 4
What and who can help?
As the plan enters an important stage, relationships become critical with high engagement, clarity on specific needs and collective understanding becoming essential.
Central to the plan’s success is consistent, clear communication. With each team member playing to their strengths, the only other area to consider is, what resources could assist progress, such as internal technology utilised to its full capabilities.
STEP 5
What are the timelines?
Milestone and tolerance towards any delays become more scrutinised.
The celebration of quick wins to take people on the journey and potentially showing a new version of success has many benefits. Patience and governance, in respect of mid and long term objectives remain in focus and should be reviewed regularly.
STEP 6
What and who could stop us?
There can be an endless list of setbacks throughout, both controllable and uncontrollable, examples range from past experience being drawn upon, individuals triggered, unhelpful reactions, negative self-talk, making the same mistakes. At this point short term resilience is required and the quality of your original planning will provide agile navigation.
STEP 7
What is next?
In the final stage, there are four points to achieve, sense check commitment levels, go achieve the goal, reward people who have done what they said and take this opportunity to review seeking peer feedback and complete a lessons learned.
WHAT DO I PROVIDE
I provide independent retailers insight, strategy and support to enable growth.

MAKE IT HAPPEN
Seven steps to effective leadership change.
THE SEVEN STEPS EXPLAINED
Introduction
The seven steps can be applied to businesses of any size and reused individually where appropriate.
STEP 1
What do you want to achieve?
Clarity on your ‘why’, the baseline of where are you now, the pain point and problem you are trying to fix. The role of leaders within the business. The benefit of gaining clarity in this area will shape the rest of your plan.
STEP 2
What Is possible?
From the position of refining the real problem (root cause) solutions can begin to be explored through ‘possibility thinking’. Specific thoughts such as, what behaviours are required? Begin to filter and commit to paper.
STEP 3
What do you want to do?
As priorities are fleshed out, the sequence of events takes shape apportioning preliminary roles and responsibilities. This is an excellent time to sense check confidence, limiting beliefs and allocating time to manage personal energies.

My intention is to support lasting and impactful change.

WELCOME TO ENCOURAGE COACHING
HELLO, I AM MARK
Welcome to Encourage Coaching.
Utilising the learnings from personal tragedy, my faith and an award winning career I am determined to help end anxiety in the world.
Here is my story...
GROWING UP
At the age of sixteen, I lost a parent in tragic circumstances and witnessed my other parent go through a break down as a result.
Although I didn't know it then, that time proved to be the making of me. It set me off on a journey of healing and developing my knowledge for coping with life changing events.
I discovered I was stronger mentally than I thought.
LIFE LONG LEARNING
When I was eighteen I came across a Buddhist book and since then I have benefited from the advice given to bring calmness, clarity and resilience to my life.
For the last twenty years I have practiced, attended retreats, formally studied more than four thousand hours to date and taught Buddhist meditation.
Meditation is by far the most important and beneficial habit in my daily life.
TWENTY YEARS IN BUSINESS
For two decades I have worked with some of Britain’s largest retailers such as: Dixons Carphone, Three Mobile, DFS Group.
I have worked collaboratively with and been developed by a number of Europe's elite leaders, coaches and mentors.
I have been trained in Insights, Tetra, FED, The Grow Model, Strength Finder, Myers Briggs and attended courses with Dr Steve Bull and the World's most celebrated coach Tony Robbins.
