Mark’s experience as an actor has proven invaluable in his communication skills coaching, including understanding what makes a compelling story and how to use the body and voice to communicate that to an audience, being fully present and listening effectively to fellow actors during a performance and how to deal with opposing views or criticism in a constructive and collaborative way during rehearsals. All are transferable skills which can transform business presentations and interactions.
