About
Mark Russell's Inspired Performance Coaching equips you with the tools, techniques and mindset of world-class achievers in sport and business.
Your Lead Coach
I'm Mark Russell, the lead coach and founder of Mark Russell's Inspired Performance Coaching.
With a carefully selected team of gifted and talented associates, I’m dedicated to helping business leaders and elite-level athletes like you experience sustainable performance, results and success.
I played rugby for London Harlequins and Blackheath in the 1990s. I’ve had representative honours with teams in England and South Africa and toured the world playing rugby at the highest level.
These experiences demonstrated the importance of managing one's emotions, proper planning and preparation, and the extraordinary results achieved through teamwork, cooperation, and learning by doing.
Rugby taught me some great lessons about sports, life, and business. Since retiring, I've had ample opportunity to apply these lessons as a Performance Coach in the real world, achieving actual results for business executives and athletes alike.
I was fortunate to study for an MBA at Henley Business School, one of the top 40 business schools worldwide (according to the FT Global Rankings). It’s one of a handful of worldwide business schools accredited by the UK, Europe, and the US governing bodies. Delegates from 129 countries give the course a global perspective. I graduated in 2003.
Outside of work, I am an All-Pro Husband and Dad, keep an aquarium of tropical fish, and play golf (often very erratically!).
Why Should You Do Business With Me?
My work is better than it was six months ago and will be better again in another six months.
I bounce out of bed each morning and get to work to help people succeed in doing things that motivate, satisfy and inspire them.
I’m passionate about making a genuine difference for clients. Adhering to my high standards of ethics and beliefs, both personal and professional, is another key driver.
And my goal is to find clients who want to work with me so that we can all succeed.
What Are My Values?
Respect, Integrity, Honesty and Learning
It’s about having a positive regard for clients and everyone connected with the business.
It’s a heartfelt commitment to always ‘Doing the Right Thing’ (even when no one is looking).
It’s constantly being 100% truthful, loyal and straightforward with you.
It builds on, modifies, or reinforces what you already know about your knowledge, behaviours, skills, values, or preferences.
These are core values of Mark Russell's Inspired Performance Coaching.
They are written on a sign that hangs on the office wall. It reminds me how important it is to live these values daily by communicating from the heart, walking the talk, and not shooting the messenger!
Coaching For Unlimited Possibilities
I'm not a flash in the pan.
You can trust me and my proven track record. I've been around for many years, quietly working with people, teams, and organisations to help them enhance their performance, achieve results, and maximise potential.
One of the many reasons I'm so effective in performance coaching is that my sessions, modules and teachings are not simply taken from a textbook. My solutions are tried and tested and, as my clients will attest, do work.
