Higher Order Coaching Transition Navigator & Thinking Partner | I help successful leaders move from months of paralysis to decisive action on high-stakes transitions. Let's talk.

https://paperbell.me/mark-haines Understanding people tops the list of every leader's essential life skills. Yet growing up, we don't always learn these people skills. Schools seldom offer classes in the skills of "we.". And the school of hard knocks can be very expensive. These human leadership skills are difficult to practice. It's even tougher when you're left to learn them on your own.If you a

I had a great time meeting people and renewing connections with others this morning. My first Chamber Breakfast is in the books. It was an honor to share the event with my daughter, Nikki Toledo.

Connie and I have had the techs from Answer work on our furnace twice. The first time was a repair call. The second time was for a fall clean and check. Both times we received prompt, courteous service. We highly recommend them. And there's a15% off deal going on for maintenance between now and the end of April.

Are you saying yes to everything and resenting it later?

New projects, networking events, client requests—they all sound good in the moment. But your important work keeps getting pushed aside.

I'm hosting a Strategic Clarity Intensive on Friday, February 27th, in Bay City for local entrepreneurs who need to stop drowning in busyness and start leading with intention.

In 3 hours, you'll build a decision-making framework that gives you immediate clarity on what deserves your energy and what doesn't. You'll finally know how to say no without guilt.

Limited to 6-8 people. Happens quarterly. If you miss this one, the next chance isn't until the third week of April.

After ten years with a rocket logo, I'm retiring it.

Not because it didn't serve me well. It did. But I've outgrown it.

The rocket said "acceleration" - getting you somewhere faster. That's generic coaching language, and honestly, it was never quite true to what actually happens in my conversations with clients.

What I really do is navigation.

You're not stuck. You're not lacking momentum. You have capacity. You've got experience, wisdom, and the ability to move. What you need is a clear view of where you're going and how to get there. You need someone to help you see the terrain, avoid the hazards, and chart the best course.

That's what my Transition Compass framework does. That's what being your Transition Navigator means.

So I'm simplifying. No more logo. Just me. My face, my presence, my 40 years of leadership experience, and my ICF training. What you see is what you get.

If you're in transition - whether that's career, organization, strategy, or calling - and you need a thinking partner to help you find your way forward, let's talk.

Who do you know that my friend can help?

"Specific is terrific." David Vitu Jr. wants to connect with solopreneurs who've been too busy to think about their health insurance. The Marketplace is open and rates are going up. He will help you solve the puzzle of knowing what you need and how much it'll cost.

Coaching is a partnership. 🤝

”…because I know you are smart, creative, and capable.”

Marcia Reynolds, PsyD, MCC shared this with us earlier this year, and we’re still thinking about it.

Because we know that at the heart of coaching is honoring the wisdom of the person in front of you.

How do YOU define a true coaching partnership?
