Real growth begins with awareness, but awareness alone doesn’t create change or growth.
The difference between staying stuck and moving forward lies in what you do next.
Mark O’Reilly is an ICF accredited coach with an MSc in Mental Health and Mental Skills, an MSc in Work and Organisational Psychology, and Professional Diplomas in Strategy, Development & Innovation, Leadership & Management and Sport Psychology.
We explore how great coaching helps people develop awareness, turn clarity into progress, the link between awareness, accountability, and action, the real distinction between coaching and therapy, and how to design change that lasts.
You’ll learn:
- How coaching turns awareness into measurable progress
- The difference between therapy and coaching (and when each applies)
- Why accountability creates momentum
- How to build awareness you can actually use
- Simple tools to create change that sticks
- How to learn the skill of taking more action
- How to break narratives you hold and nurture more self belief
- How solid coaching principles apply across so many areas from sport to relationships to business
And much more!
