In the short time we've worked together, Mark has taken the time to get to know me, my style and our business. He has provided executive, strategic counsel on a variety of topics that has allowed me to evaluate, approach and take action on situations differently than I may have done in the past. As a facilitator, Mark does a great job of leading the group and allowing space for us to have in-depth conversations."
