“Before meeting Mark I’d tried several different coaching programs. I was totally ‘burnt out.’ I knew the data in the spreadsheets weren’t the problem, and that finding more work-life balance would not fix things. I was struggling with unresolved issues that were affecting my mind. My previous coaches and therapists didn’t understand the nature of the challenges I faced at work, and their traditional approaches couldn’t get me past the inner emotional blocks.
Mark coached me through experiences that I hadn’t processed, many of which I was completely unconscious of at the outset. I was drawn to the structured and clearly defined engagement that Mark provided. It was real work but it led to real results. My wife and my teammates have commended the changes they now see in me. For the first time in my career, I have the tools I need to execute my game plan and enjoy the experience of my life.”

“Mark made my life so much better. He revealed my blind spots and the underlying reasons I felt stuck. Most importantly, he helped me find the right tools, build ‘mental muscle,’ and reframe beliefs that were holding me back. I was surprised to realize how much my parents, especially my father, still impacted my life. The issue I wanted to resolve was persistent conflict with my spouse. I wanted to learn how to communicate better so that we both felt heard. I’d never heard of saboteurs before and thought my brain was working just fine and that my wife simply misunderstood me.

Mark’s coaching gave me invaluable insight into how I interact with others and how my energy affects the people around me. I’m also more sensitive to the feelings and thoughts of others and more aware of my own behavior. The underlying issues have been resolved, but there is lingering trauma and hurt caused by my behavior. I’ve learned the importance of being patient and gentle with myself as healing takes time. I felt safe and seen working with Mark and I highly recommend his coaching program.”

“I highly recommend Mark. He’s calm, attentive, and takes his time.  He has an extensive knowledge base and uses it to your advantage. I decided to work with a coach because I felt ‘stuck’ after losing my father. Working with Mark to improve the quality of my core beliefs and the relationship I have with my inner child has been really important to me.”

“Mark asks questions I have never thought of or considered before. Working with him has been a wonderful and knowledgeable experience. The sessions have made me rethink how I view myself, and the impact I may be having on my children. My family has also noticed positive changes. I’m grateful for the guidance, courage, and wisdom I’ve taken away from our sessions.”

“Mark is an excellent coach with an extensive background in personal development. He’s approachable, easy to work with, and gently pushes you when he knows you need it. He’s also very transparent about his own journey, which allowed me to open up and uncover behaviors that have served me well up to this point in my life but needed to be identified and released.”

“Mark has collaborated with me on several startup projects as a master mentor. His sharp and eloquent approach is a quality few exhibit with the same panache, assurance, and competence. Mark is an extraordinarily capable and trustworthy coach with expertise that can help you and your organization ascend to new heights. With the increasingly complex demands facing leaders globally, Mark’s character and interdisciplinary approach inevitably stand out as a top choice.”

“Mark’s mindset coaching is absolutely transformational. I’ve worked with him to navigate some of the toughest times in my life, professionally and personally. The results were phenomenal and I can honestly say that no other coach or program has been able to achieve the transformation Mark did. The entrepreneurs I work with have also given him great reviews. Mark genuinely cares about people and goes above and beyond to support his clients. His knowledge, talents, and credentials are assets to any executive or organization.”

“Mark Hugh Sam is matchless! He meets you where you are with enormous compassion, deep expertise, and an unparalleled ability to identify and address your areas of deepest need. His unique process will elevate and integrate vital capacities of your body, mind, and spirit. Mark’s work is based on a coherent and comprehensive theory of change that examines the root causes of distress, how to address them, and supports you in creating a new vision and action plan for further growth and improvement. Mark’s coaching is particularly brilliant because it goes deeper than most typical approaches.”

“Mark has been a true champion of mine for years. He understands the mental and emotional struggles of an entrepreneur and is committed to giving helpful support that makes a major difference in situations where the way forward seems unclear. I’m grateful to have been coached by him!”

“Mark is an inspirational coach with a great heart and has been instrumental in providing clarity and ideas for our early-stage start-up and accelerator teams. His financial modeling skills are first class and he’s an invaluable asset to teams that are in fundraising mode.”

“My sessions with Mark have been life-changing. Not only do I feel amazing, but I also realize that this is the emotional work I’ve been in dire need of my entire life. Mark has helped me recognize my patterns and how these patterns have played out in my life. I left his program feeling stronger, more empowered, better connected, and more focused. Mark facilitated these breakthroughs professionally and without judgment. Not once did I feel like I needed to doctor things up. I felt safe in his presence and able to be my authentic self.”

“I’m so grateful for Mark’s coaching, its effectiveness, the unique methods he uses, and his enthusiasm and passion. I’ve been able to let go of so many self-limiting beliefs. Thanks to Mark’s coaching I’ve instilled a completely new paradigm through which I see the world. He customizes his program to address your specific needs and the results prove it. He helped me regain my confidence and self-esteem.  Mine was a total reset. Mark’s coaching is truly wonderful and I highly recommend him.”
