Pebble Professional Development

My name is Mark, owner of Pebble Professional Development.

I’m passionate about helping individuals and teams become the best versions of themselves. Based in the heart of West Yorkshire, I specialise in providing coach-mentoring solutions and facilitated learning workshops that empower people to grow, thrive, and succeed in areas of leadership and management and personal effectiveness.

At Pebble, I believe that every workplace needs leaders who truly understand the power of communication, encouragement, and support. Too often, poor leadership leads to disengagement, low morale, and a negative working experience where people feel undervalued and unmotivated. Its a risky practice, and if left un addressed, things will go wrong, very wrong (I've been there)

My mission is to help create environments where people feel valued, motivated, and inspired to bring their best each day, and when they are not at their best, they can talk about it.

Through my tailored training workshops, personal experience and coaching programmes, I provide leaders with the tools and strategies to promote collaboration, enhance performance, and inspire continuous growth within their teams.

Whether you’re stepping into a new leadership role, managing a team, or looking to develop your skills further, my services are here to help you unlock your potential and achieve lasting success.

At Pebble Professional Development, I partner with individuals and organisations facing pivotal moments in their personal and professional journeys. My clients come to us with diverse needs, seeking support in areas such as career transitions, leadership development, people management, and building resilience in the face of change.

I specialise in working with:

• Young Professionals: Whether you’re just starting out or looking to accelerate your career, my tailored coaching and training help you build confidence, navigate challenges, and set a strong foundation for future success.
• Managers of Teams: From first-time managers to those leading larger teams, I offer development programmes focused on effective leadership, people management, and emotional intelligence to drive performance and engagement.
• Senior Managers and Executives: I help senior leaders sharpen their strategic thinking, enhance their leadership style, and manage complex challenges within their organisations.
• Small Business Owners: I provide the tools and insights needed to improve leadership skills, boost team performance, and navigate the unique challenges that come with running a business.
• Aspiring Business Owners: My business mentoring programmes offer vital support for those starting out on their business journey, helping to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship, business planning, and sustainable growth.
• Individuals Committed to Self-Development: For those striving to become the best version of themselves, perhaps struggling with confidence and self-esteem issues or my coaching and training services provide a clear path towards personal growth, resilience, and wellbeing.

At Pebble, I involve you every step of the way, working closely with you to map out a clear plan tailored to your specific needs. My coaching and training solutions are designed to be engaging, easy to follow, and straightforward to implement, ensuring that you or your team can apply what’s learned back in the workplace and start seeing immediate results.

With nearly two decades of experience in leadership development, management training, and coaching, I’ve helped individuals and organisations alike enhance personal effectiveness, improve leadership skills, and boost employee engagement. Over the years I have developed a suite of learning workshops and coaching programmes known as my 'PRO' range. From my 'ThinkPRO' and 'MindsetPRO' workshops like Handling Difficult Conversations, Resilience and Wellbeing for Teams, and Coaching Essentials to my bespoke flagship 'CoachPRO' programmes such as the Laser Focus Coaching Programme, my ADHD Pebble Success System and Levelling Up Your Leadership, I provide the tools you need to flourish in your role.

I am also a practitioner within the use of Myers-Brigs Type Indicator, Thomas Kilmann Conflict Instrument (TKI), and Emotional Intelligence EQi 2.0 and EQi 360 Feedback Assessment. Giving even greater insights to your behaviours and identifying development blind spots, strengths and personality qualities.

Whether you're looking to improve your leadership skills, build your confidence, or work on your self-esteem, I’m here to help. I understand the challenges that come with self-doubt, and through my coaching programmes, we’ll work together to unlock your potential and strengthen your belief in yourself. 

If you’re ready to take the next step towards personal growth and professional success, let’s connect. I’m here to support you on your journey.

Life, ADHD, career and leadership coach

I am a personal effectiveness coach who helps amazing people like you reduce workload stress, and get rid of the nagging doubting voice in your head to free up mental bandwidth, so you can improve your effectiveness, and overcome the mind-limiting beliefs and humps in the road slowing you down.

Are you at a pivotal moment in your personal or professional journey?

I partner with people ready to take their personal and professional growth to the next level. If you're navigating a career change, developing your leadership skills, or seeking greater resilience, perhaps you've lost confidence and self-esteem along the way! I can help you achieve your goals.

People come to me when they need:

A clear career path: If you’re a young professional, I’ll help you get clarity, build confidence, and tackle challenges head-on, so you can achieve career success faster.

To develop leadership skills: If you manage teams, I’ll show you how to lead with emotional intelligence, engage your staff, and create a motivated, high-performing team.

Business support and direction: As a small business owner, you need practical tools to manage your people and grow your business. I’ll help you navigate those challenges and develop a sustainable strategy for success.

Solutions for ADHD challenges: If ADHD makes it difficult to stay focused or organised, I’ll guide you to harness your strengths, overcome obstacles, and thrive personally and professionally.

Personal growth and wellbeing: If you’re feeling stuck or want to become a stronger version of yourself, my coaching will help you build resilience, increase self-awareness, and improve your overall wellbeing.

With almost two decades of experience, a holistic and calm coaching style, and a deep commitment to my clients, I’m here to empower you to unlock your potential and achieve the success you deserve. Whether you want to grow as a leader, find balance in your life, or develop your career, we’ll work together to make it happen.

As an experienced, qualified coach and professional training facilitator, I work to the standards of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council's (EMCC) code of ethics, an internationally recognised standard for coaching.

I love gaming, watching F1, following rugby league and I'm crazy about sharks. I enjoy wittiness in people, stand-up comedy, but I am not a fan of reading. What spare time I do have, I spend with my wife and children, weekends away, local walks and eating out.
