Transform Your Life with Ikigai Coaching
Achieve goals, conquer self-doubt, and find focus to be the best version of you.
Discovering Your True Potential
What is Ikigai?
In a world full of noise, pressure, and endless expectations, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are and what truly matters. Ikigai — a powerful Japanese concept — offers a way back to clarity, purpose, and fulfilment. It’s not just a philosophy; it’s a practical framework for designing a life that feels meaningful, energising, and aligned with who you are at your core.
Ikigai translates to “a reason for being” — the thing that gives your life direction and makes each day feel worthwhile. Everyone has an ikigai. The challenge is uncovering it.
Who is your coach?
My name is Mark, and I want to work with you.
I’m a life coach driven by a simple but powerful belief: people are capable of far more than they realise. Nothing frustrates me more than wasted potential, and nothing motivates me more than seeing someone step into the strongest, most confident version of themselves.
My journey began with The iAM Project — a community initiative dedicated to helping people build confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of identity. Through workshops, group programmes, and personal development experiences, the project supported hundreds of individuals in transforming how they saw themselves and what they believed they could achieve. Watching that growth up close reshaped my mission. I realised that while group work is powerful, one‑to‑one coaching allows people to go deeper, move faster, and unlock change that sticks. That’s why I shifted my focus to personalised coaching: to walk alongside people as they grow, achieve, and win.
Alongside life coaching, I’m also a Judo coach, which means I’m no stranger to guiding people from absolute beginners to highly skilled athletes. Judo teaches discipline, resilience, and the art of getting back up — lessons that translate directly into personal development and everyday life. Seeing someone progress from “I can’t” to “I did” never gets old.
I’m also an accredited business mentor with the Go Succeed programme, supporting entrepreneurs and professionals as they build confidence, clarity, and momentum in their careers. Whether it’s personal growth, athletic development, or business success, the thread running through all my work is the same: helping people become better versions of themselves.
My coaching style is direct, supportive, and relentlessly focused on your success. When you win, I win. When you grow, I grow. And when you step into your potential, everything changes.
If you’re ready to push past limitations, build confidence, and achieve what you know you’re capable of, I’m here to help you make it happen.
It's time to take control, to make it happen

Stage One
1. Find Out — Establish Your Baseline & Vision
This is where everything begins. We take a deep dive into where you are right now: your strengths, challenges, opportunities, and the areas of life that matter most to you. Together, we explore:
- Your current baseline
- Areas for growth and development
- Opportunities you may not yet see
- What truly matters to you
- How all the pieces fit into the bigger picture
From there, we prioritise what needs attention first and create a combined vision that becomes the foundation of your personalised progression plan.

2. Focus — Build Your Plan & Metrics
Once we know where you’re heading, we build the roadmap. This stage gives you a tangible, structured plan that you’ll work from throughout the programme and beyond. Together, we’ll create:
- Clear metrics to track your progress
- A personalised development plan
- Ideas for learning, growth, and new experiences
- A simple reporting mechanic so you can see your progress in real time
You’ll leave this stage with a document that becomes your guide — practical, actionable, and tailored to your goals.

3. Fine Tune — Review, Reset & Refine
After a period of action and self‑exploration, we meet again to evaluate what’s working and what needs adjustment. This is where real transformation happens.
We’ll explore:
- What’s progressing well
- What needs fine tuning
- Where you’ve grown
- Where you may need more support
- Whether priorities need to shift based on what you’ve learned
This stage sharpens your life plan and ensures it stays aligned with your evolving journey.

This is your launch point. By now, you’ll have clarity, momentum, and a deeper understanding of yourself. In this final stage, we:
- Celebrate your wins
- Reflect on how far you’ve come
- Identify the next phases of your journey
- Put key concepts in place for long‑term success
From here, the plan becomes fully yours.
You take everything we’ve built together and use it to continue growing, achieving, and moving toward the dreams you set back in session one.
