Mark W Foster
Mark lives in Wigan, Northwest UK, an ex Emergency Services Officer and former Head of Personal and Spiritual Development at Gorton Monastery Trust in Manchester. He now provides Learning & Development Consultancy and Coaching Services for a limited number of clients.
He is an experienced Trainer and People Development Consultant who has undertaken high level contracts and roles for UK Govt, public and private sector organisations, plus design and delivery of international Leadership and Management Development Programmes for numerous clients in the Middle East.
His particular areas of interest and specialism are in Mindset Development and Virtual Reality Learning, both leading to behavioural change and increased performance.
Mark spent 20 years in the Fire and Rescue Service, firstly as a serving firefighter and then as an officer attached to the Greater Manchester Service Headquarters and Training Centre, and lastly contributing nationally, designing people development solutions within the wider UK emergency services environment at the National Fire Services College in Gloucestershire, on secondment to the Office of The Deputy Prime Minister.
On leaving the service Mark set up a training consultancy business specialising in Leadership Development and Risk / Outcome Based Learning Solutions, which secured government contracts and led to consultancy relationships and development work with two International Training Centres.
In time, and after a period of engagment with a North West recruitment and training company, Mark expanded beyond people development within the emergency services. This wider remit took him (and still takes him) into consultancy roles with all manner of businesses and organisations. From outsourcers for global telecoms giants, high street insurance companies, to public sector, education, colleges, NHS Trusts, retail, sales and telesales organisations and supermarket heavyweights.
He also provides 1-2-1 support and executive coaching and career success mindset guidance for individuals looking to change some area of their lives, be it personal or professional, ranging from self worth and confidence issues, through employability, entrepreurship and promotional skills, deeper personal exploration.
Mark enjoys providing his clients with highly effective solutions based on a unique combination of hard earned people development experience, integrated with cutting edge understandings from discoveries in the worlds of psychology and neuroscience, plus innovative delivery methodologies / technologies, currently including e-learning platforms and the aforementioned Virtual Reality Learning . Through his life experiencesMark has developed an overarching belief in the resilience and innate ablilty of the human spirit, to overcome all manner of challenges and go on to thrive, when given the right mental environment.
Maybe you are an individual seeking to develop or change yourself in some way, or perhaps you are an organisational leader looking to grow your team /organisation and explore the huge benefits of embracing the 'Learning Organisation' or "Success Mindsets" approach, either way Mark would love to hear from you.
