Executive coaching
I provide coaching to a select group of leaders, change makers and aspiring leaders. For some the need is to have someone to bounce ideas off. They get stuck, bogged down, aren’t clear on the way forward. Some clients find that challenging their thinking, their underlying assumptions unleashes insight and creativity. Others want to develop or refine skills and strategy, or build healthier working relationships. Regardless of the motivation, we build off your strengths and success. Helping you do what you do best, better.
Signature Coaching Programs
Theme based and designed to bring about targeted transformation and meaningful change in a structured, time limited, manner.
Six or Twelve Month Program
For leaders or entrepreneurs who benefit from ongoing coaching to address strategy, interpersonal or other concerns as they arise.
Problem Solving Focused
Designed for people wanting to work on an explicit concern, e.g. needs to become a more effective communicator, management style is causing disruption, etc.
Over the course of two years, I worked closely with Glenn on numerous projects. It didn’t take me long to see how his attributes significantly moved the team’s progress forward. Glenn is at once focused and empathetic, driven and judicious. His questions are deeply penetrating, but he also doesn’t hesitate to provide answers, when necessary. It’s this unique blend that differentiates Glenn from others and why I wouldn’t hesitate for a second working with him. Indeed, I hope I have the pleasure of doing so again in the future.
A conversation with Glenn always leaves me energized, inspired, and on-track with my goals. He encourages me to consider fresh perspectives and bigger milestones that I may never have otherwise. Glenn is a analytical, original and global-minded thinker who embraces the authentic uniqueness of the individual and their aspirations and does an amazing job to catapult that individual forward.
Glenn is one of those rare persons who will significantly enhance your knowledge of self and your unique place in the world. To work with Glenn means to be fortunate to engage in genuine, thought-provoking, and perspective-altering discussions. Glenn offers a exceptional growth opportunity to even the most brilliant, astute, seasoned, and determined leader. To work with Glenn is a privilege and opportunity not to be missed.
Glenn excels at listening and understanding the individuals needs beyond what one is telling him, he has the ability to fully grasp a deeper understanding than what is necessarily being presented. His multi-cultural experience helps him be receptive to different experiences and ideas.
I always like to enlist Glenn’s help when I am working on a matter that I am not convinced I understand completely. Glenn masters the art of asking the right questions, which will make you think in the right direction. And I believe that the most important thing in understanding your life and career is learning to ask yourself the right questions. He will also help you answer them.
Since I met Glenn over~2.5 years ago, he has played various roles in my life, including a fantastic listener, advisor and friend. He is thoughtful and caring and does not hesitate to identify the problem and/or root cause and will prompt you to think and ponder how you want to approach and tackle it. I am confident that Glenn will be on my list if I am facing a crisis, critical decision or need support in the future.
Glenn Marks has all the traits and skills of a very effective personal coach. He has an uncanny capacity to listen to both what is said and not said during his sessions with clients, and then providing clear, unvarnished insights with just the right amount of compassion for the feelings of the recipient of his feedback.
How it works?
We start with an initial conversation to learn about you, your needs, strengths, and frustrations. And to be certain working together is a good fit. My role is to help you see more clearly what is working, what isn’t, and how to move through barriers and stumbling blocks.
Typically, we meet 60-75 minutes bi-weekly, though timing is flexible. I’m a big fan of mutually agreed upon outcomes, assessing progress along the way to assure you receive optimal value. We build a framework founded on aligning skills, purpose, values and goals.
Signature coaching programs
In my work with people, I’ve noticed certain recurring themes. Consequently, I’ve created a series of packaged programs tailored to address individual needs and objectives. Each utilizes a combination of assessments, exercises, and bi-weekly interactions to reach targeted outcomes. Additional sessions can be scheduled at the conclusion, if desired.
New and emerging leadership skills
Who: People recently promoted or about to be promoted to a management or leadership role.
Designed to facilitate the transition from “doer” to leader and associated change of mindset and approach.
This 8-session series is designed to develop essential leadership skills through targeted assignments applied to your specific work situation.
The thrill is gone - reigniting passion for work
Who: Mid-career individuals, those maxed out in current role, or persons in career transition.
It happens. Inevitably at a certain point what once got you jazzed no longer motivates. You’ve reached your milestones, you’ve made too many compromises, or perhaps life’s priorities have shifted.
Is it time to do something different or do what you are doing differently? Utilizing a series of assessments, exercises and honest conversation, we hone in, and develop strategies to align strengths, passions values, and interests in your work.
Grow yourself / grow your organization
Who: For executive directors, entrepreneurs or CEOs.
The process of growing your business and organization is often tied to your own personal leadership development.

Mastering change
Who: Those drawn to social change, undergoing shifts in organizations, or working with a paradigm shift.
Most change initiatives fail due a combination of ineffective communication, failure to gain buy-in, difficulty managing pushback, and/or giving up too soon.
This program provides a combination of evaluation, clarifying messaging, strategy, and coaching through obstacles encountered in the process of execution.
