Coaching and Conversation Skills for Neurodivergent Professionals and People Who Communicate for a Living

Welcome I’m Mark. Your conversation partner.
I offer 1:1 coaching, thought-lab sessions, and talks built around calm, neuroinclusive conversation. My background in policing reform, neurodiversity advocacy, community work, and entrepreneurship means I’m used to holding dialogue where clarity and honesty matter.
I don’t push pace. I help you slow down, hear yourself, and understand what’s shaping your choices. The work adapts to your rhythm and your way of thinking.
Settle in. Let’s find clarity you can move with.
This is a space for clearer, calmer, more connected conversations.
Speak your full truth
Unpack the values, emotions, and beliefs behind what you’re really trying to say - especially when the words don’t come easily.
Stay steady in the moment
Build the confidence to respond without defence, stay grounded through difference, and create real-time understanding - even under pressure.
Bridge the gap
Learn how to close the space between what you mean and what others hear - so your conversations become clearer, safer, and more connected.
Calm & Change exists to help you lead, speak, and relate with calm awareness and honest connection - without losing who you are.
If you’re ready for that, you’re in the right place.
A Glimpse of What People Say
Coaching with you Mark was the turning point I didn’t know I needed. You created a space where I could show up without masking or overexplaining and feel completely understood, especially as someone autistic
