My purpose and passion as a trainer

Mark Shillaker

This is me - my personal & professional self, my purpose, my approach

Who?

Empathy & Drive

My bio in 4:

1. Born in Brighton, UK

2. Studied in Exeter, UK

3. Moved to Paris, France

4. Settled in Munich, Germany

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by language and culture

Studying languages and living and working abroad have given me the chance to learn more every day and to understand, respect and empathise with people from all backgrounds and in all roles.

I am driven by personal relationships, humour, the emotional power of music and - in the words of Douglas Adams - the interconnectedness of all things.

 

Why?

Enduring & Meaningful

My purpose in 3:

1. Make learning sustainable

2. Make learning relevant

3. Make learning fun

I care about sustainability. I want your learning to endure, to be an investment that enriches you throughout your life.

I want your learning to centre on your individual needs and those of your team and your organisation.

Humour inspires. Fun gives us energy. I want you to want to try something new. To find meaning in the journey itself.

 

How?

Inspire & Challenge

My approach in 2:

1. Inspire a Growth Mindset

2. Challenge attitudes and behaviour

We learn - really learn - when we dare to try something new. That's what I want to inspire you to do.

The hardest thing about learning is when it means changing a well-established attitude or behaviour pattern. I challenge you to challenge yourself.

What?

People & People

My focus in 1:

1. People

I train and coach people not titles. Teams not roles.

Together, we turn your training needs into your personal development goals.

Sure, your training addresses your organisation's values; but we also look together at your own values and principles.

My keynote speeches

I love to share my passion for topics that really matter.

Inspiring, challenging speeches spark enthusiasm and encourage an audience not only to change their own attitudes and behaviour but also to become ambassadors for that same transformation.

Let me inspire and challenge your target group - face to face or online - on issues such as:

- Communicating with respect and empathy

- Positive leadership through positive self-leadership

- Values: The essence of who you are
