I have been a creative entrepreneur for most of my working life, and married for many years. My wife and I have grown children. Through these experiences, both personal and professional, I have learned to navigate a wide variety of life’s challenges and opportunities. I tell you this because as you consider coaches, you will want you to know who you’re working with and what they have to offer.

I have been a men’s life coach here in the Portland Metro area for over a decade now. My studio is located on NE Broadway. I meet with clients in person and over the phone.

As men, we delight in doing the unexpected; walking the high wire; making it happen. But we also want to be seen and appreciated. We falter when we feel foolish.

You’re here at the moment because you’re out on a limb. You’re not succeeding as would like to be; if only you could channel your time and energy more effectively!

I will help you channel your time and energy, so you have more time and energy for what truly matters most to you. This is The Balance.

You may be between jobs or stressed out by the job you have, or because one or more of your relationships are off. There are many individual reasons which have brought you here, yet you share the common denominator of being a man with the needs we all have as men: to feel strong, express ourselves creatively, and provide for those we love.

I understand very well what you’re going through, which is why I invite you to take a moment right now to do what is perhaps the hardest thing for you to do: ask for help.

I can help you channel your good intentions into dynamic action.

Before you waste another day, please contact me so we can get started.

Mark is like a Jedi for men. I am thinking and talking to Mark throughout every day. Mark provides simple nudges of encouragement towards tasks in areas of my life I need help with. Life is relatively overwhelming for everyone but working with Mark helps carve away anxiety and frustration that negatively shakes our heart & mind. Core and confidence and integrity begins its reconstruction Mark is unlike any person I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve had many counselors and therapists. The therapy and counseling in my past were helping, moderately. But in the end, they weren’t giving me satisfaction inside myself. Working with Mark is helping me so much. The way I think about the people and problems in my life are so much easier to navigate and get closer to understanding in a positive manner that helps my confidence in making decisions I know I’ll be proud to stand behind. Mark isn’t just a short session. He is always available to check in every day. And if I don’t check in because life is happening, he reminds me he’s there wanting to know how you and your work together is going. Thank you Mark! ~Dan
