"Mark Susnow knows how to bring out superior performance in his clients. He is masterful. By working with Mark, you will consistently surpass your own expectations of yourself. You will also discover that life can be a lot more pleasurable. I have personally benefited enormously from Mark's coaching and I recommend him to you without reservation."

"As a young man, I had an authentic sense of self that was full of energy, adventure, spirituality and love. I had rich friendships, and often traveled to distant parts of the world, meeting wonderful people along the way. I would sit quietly on the beach and watch sunsets. Then "I grew up". Thirty years of business, starting several companies, trying to be what other's wanted me to be, and all of the related stress associated with trying to acquire the proverbial Golden Egg. As a trusted guide, mentor and friend, Mark has essentially said to me "Hey, look over here, under all this clutter. Do you see what I see?" As I looked, I was amazed. For what I saw, though bit dusty, was my old friend, waiting for me; my authentic self, full of positive energy, my real Golden Egg. I will always be grateful for Mark for this." Jay Nathanson, Managing Partner, Target Marketing

ÂÂ

"Denial...that is the best word I can think of to describe my life before I met Mark and started on a new journey. It's not that I was unhappy or unsuccessful before, it's just that I didn't indulge myself by maximizing life's opportunities. The difference in my life over the last fifteen months is like the contrast of a mountain climbe who gazes up to see where he can still go instead of looking don to see how far he could drop. After Mark helped me have the courage to get past my fear of falling, he awakened me to the concept that above the mountain summit exists an endless series of peaks. The power to enjoy your life to th fullest truly lies within yourself, and it's clear that helping people find teir stride is Mark's Mount Everest." Mitch Emoff, President, Fulfillment Center, Shumsky and Co

ÂÂ

"I initially began working with Mark in order to bring balance to my life, a typical workaholic professional striving to rediscover the creativity and fun of younger days. In the course of achieving that balance, unexpected additional possibilities emerged, such as making space for a life by challenging me to take a fresh look at the things I already know with an eye toward achieving the unimaginable." Matthew Webb, Attorney-at-Law

ÂÂ

"Everyone needs help from time to time. We just get too caught up in the daily dramas of our personal affairs to see the forest from the trees. Even the most successful and brilliant minds in the universe become wise by recognizing the needs for outside, caring support. Your background as a lawyer and spiritual seeker allow you the unique balance of being tough, practical, and down to earth, while at the same time gentle and loving." Art Brownstein, M.D., Author: Healing Back Pain Naturally (Harbor Press 1999); Extraordinary Healing

ÂÂ

"As someone who had done lots of personal growth work with individuals like Deepal Chopra and Tony Robbins, I was a bit reserved about whether working with Mark would add anything to my life. Now, nearly one year after first meeting with Mark, I can say with 100% conviction that my work with Mark has been hands-down the most powerful personal growth work that I have done. I am living a dream come true and I simply would not be where I am today without Mark's coaching." Don McLaughlin, Attorney-at-Law

ÂÂ

"After playing six years in the National Football League, I was fortunate enough to make a great transition into the business world. I became caught up in the rat race and didnt even know it. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank you for working with me during the last three months. The firsr word that comes to mind is "AWESOME". The journey of life is easier traveled with a Map & Directions. Thanks for helping me find my way." Natu Tuatagaloa, Senior Vice President, IDEX Corp.

"The most profound change I have noticed from working with you has been n my communication.  For the first time, I am able to more myself, open, honest, and real with everyone-my life partner, my friends, with those I manage, and those who manage me. They, too, have noticed and applauded this transformation." David Phipps, Director of Engineering

ÂÂ

"Working with Mark has been an enlightening experience. I knew something was missing in my life but i was unequipped to define just what it was. Mark's unique experiences give him the capacity to guide me through personal and spiritual, as well as professional challenges. I now have the tools to face the challenges in my life and I welcome them. Our work together has allowed me to become a participant in my life instead of an observer. I look forward ti continuing the journey." Peggy Ford-Smith, CPA
