About Mark
Hi. I’m Mark Newton.
I have been an architect, a building contractor and a spiritual guide for most of my life. For the past decade, I’ve been coaching here in Portland from my studio on northeast Broadway. I’ve been stuck and unstuck so many times, I’ve become the expert guide for the truly lost. And as a fellow traveler, I can tell you first-hand that there is no reason to feel ashamed of being temporarily disoriented. In fact, the reason you feel stuck at the moment is because you are courageous. Your creative discontent is propelling you out of your comfort zone into the unknown for something new; something you long for but don’t yet know how to attain on your own.
Which is why you’re here!
I can help you.
What makes me so sure?
Because I’m creative and I listen deeply. We will laugh a lot even as we make dramatic progress together, because only the truth is funny.
You may be surprised how quickly you feel comfortable telling me some of your deepest secrets, because you will know instantly that I am trustworthy. You’ve never been listened to so closely or understood so completely. Think I’m bragging? Try me.
I’m also rock solid and fun to work with. I’ve been married to the same woman for over forty years and have two grown children who are now adults living their own successful lives. Along with our pet friends, we have great fun together. All to say: I am a deeply connected person with a lot of living under my belt who values trusting relationships above all else. You will find comfort and challenge in our work together.
And finally, because I’ve helped so many others who, like you, came to me feeling overwhelmed and stuck. They left knowing that they need never feel stuck again.
About our work together.
I will give you specific, concrete projects to move you through wherever you are stuck, and I will be there with you every step of the way as you grow in confidence; trusting yourself more each day to move through any obstacle you encounter with grace and agility.
Why am I so passionate about working with you?
Because we need what you bring on your best day.
And because it’s not as difficult as you might think. You have a beautiful mind. You can do amazing things, once you realize that you always have choice and control — no matter what challenges you face.
