Change is good...

Is change good?

Some will argue that change itself is neutral, it’s how you prepare for it or respond to it that makes it good or bad.

Whatever you believe, as the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus said: “the only thing that is constant is change”, which means it’s something we all have to face, whether we are initiating the change or simply experiencing it.

At Animo Coaching we partner with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to grow in self-confidence and self-belief, maximizing your personal and professional potential, and helping your change be good for you.

A bit about us

The heart of what we’re about is captured in our name. ‘Animo’ comes from the Latin for mind, courage and consciousness, but more than that it carries the meaning of driving force, passion, spirit and soul. We believe that coaching encourages you to gain new thinking and insight; and achieve goals and changes that may have only been aspirations, dreams or even frustrations up to now.

What our Clients say

Mark is a gifted coach, who takes a unique, even understated approach to build rapport, put his client at ease and quickly move into focused discussions which have always led to practical steps. Through working with Mark, I have built a clearer understanding of priorities and opportunities to develop myself and others around me.

Doug, Senior Commercial / Procurement Leader, Public Sector Organisation

Mark has been my coach for 6 months. He is: engaging, encouraging, intelligent, empathetic and most importantly, completely down to earth. Mark is an excellent listener, an effective communicator and uses alternative approaches to help facilitate new ideas! Mark is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him as a business coach. I have no doubt his work would be supportive of anyone's professional development.

Steve, Head of Commercial

I worked with Mark over a six-month period of significant change in my working life and found him to be a source of sincere and effective support. He showed great empathy and understanding throughout this transition, sharing with me a number of techniques and strategies which I have used to navigate my way through this period. Mark used his considerable expertise and insight to identify different options and opportunities to support me. By taking a holistic, non-judgemental view of my circumstances, Mark brought into the open elements that I had not fully understood or appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark.

Rorie Fulton, Company Director

Mark quickly established a good working relationship with me and I felt able to be open and honest and trust him in a short space of time. He listens really well and chooses his questions, and timing of them, at the most appropriate parts of a conversation. Mark has helped me better articulate my skills and strengths and reflect these within my CV. He also helped me identify what future role I could play within my current organisation, along with helping decide whether my future laid elsewhere. I highly recommend him and look forward to my coaching sessions with him.

Paul, Product Group Lead

Mark has a strong appreciation of the different approaches to coaching that can be applied and uses them intelligently, ensuring that each session is productive. His style is challenging but calm, results focused without being critical, and patient but conscious of the need to keep things moving. Mark has a solid and deep business & finance background himself, which is very helpful in putting context to our discussions - he understands the managerial and commercial environment and the challenges it can bring. I have gained a great deal from our sessions and recommend him very highly indeed.
