What Mark's Consulting Clients Say

"Mark's interpersonal skills worked wonders with my staff during a challenging time of transition. His open communication style focused on what was working well at our station, and what we could all improve on.  He presented this information in a non-judgmental environment that facilitated productive discussions.  The effects of Mark's work at our station produced lasting benefits that we are still experiencing today." - John Hess, Station Manager, KUNI-FM

"Mark's organizational development skills have helped National Council of La Raza's Institute for Hispanic Health work more efficiently. His intervention was key to improving communication among team members as well as identifying areas needing improvement to enhance our work." - Yanira Cruz Gonzalez, Director, Institute for Hispanic Health

"Mark did a terrific job with the revision of our organization's strategic plan. He skillfully facilitated discussions that really helped our volunteer committee members to focus on items of importance and discard issues not relevant to our organization's mission. The result of his efforts is a very succinct and useable document that will guide our programs and activities over the next three years. We are most appreciative of his work and highly recommend it!" - Nancy Smith, Executive Director, Arts Education in Maryland Schools Alliance

What Mark's Coaching Clients Say

"Mark was perfect for me. He has a keen eye for the strategic changes one needs to make, and when; the emotional and behavior barriers that have to be overcome to make those changes; and practical, measurable ways to make them. Highly experienced, highly ethical, he has a good sense of humor and an absolutely extraordinary ability to listen (and remember) and understand at several levels simultaneously. He has a great deal of empathy but insists on corrective action where it is needed. I trusted him from our first meeting and believe others will also. More important, he was instrumental in helping me overcome a very significant career challenge. I highly recommend him as an executive coach." - Senior Executive, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

"As managers, we interact with staff and advisors each day who provide us input based on their agenda or perception of what they believe we want to hear. In working with Mark in a coaching relationship, his only agenda has been to help me.  Sometimes that has meant not telling me what I want to hear. While Mark doesn’t attempt to solve my management or personal and professional development issues, he helps focus my thinking so that I can." - General Manager, Public Radio Station

"Mark Sachs is a great coach.  He quickly got to know me from my own strengths and limitations.  I trust his understanding of group and organizational dynamics, and have found his advice and counsel to be extremely helpful." - Department Head, State University

What Mark's Workshop Clients Say

"I recently attended Mark's workshop, 'Setting and Maintaining Boundaries with Others.' The session was so helpful and inspiring - I didn't want the workshop to end!  Mark helped me recognize some of the things that were getting in my way of setting and maintaining boundaries with the people I supervise, and work with.  The group was encouraged to ask questions and share experiences, and Mark created a positive and supportive environment to do just that!" - Sonja Lee, Program Director, KBBI, Homer, Alaska
