Mark Silverman is an expert in Leadership Resiliency, practicing as an Executive Leadership Coach since 2013. Based in the Washington DC-Baltimore area, he is the host of the Mastering Midlife podcast, a show exploring life at its most stressful and yet most productive. Mark has a BS in Business and a B.A.Sc in Business Administration and Management from National Louis University. He’s a keynote speaker, delivering workshops and webinars focusing on internal leadership and foundation building for personal and professional success. Mark is also the author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller Only 10s 2.0: Confront Your To-Do List, Transform Your Life, described as ‘a daily experiment you conduct on your life’.

Mark joins me today to share his journey from Tech Salesman to Master of his own Midlife, which chartered the muddy waters of homelessness and a marriage breakup, crashing out, and finally succeeding. We discuss our love of coaching and our shared issues with the ‘Coaching Industry’ and the individuals who prey on coaches trying to make a difference in the world. Mark explains what coaching in its essence means to him and how he positions the needs of his clients. He also discusses his early days of coaching and what it took for him to realize that simply being a good coach and a good salesman was still not enough to run a successful profitable practice.

“Coaching is to help people get further” – Mark Silverman

“I didn't understand that I was an entrepreneur first. That was running a business first. And if I didn't put the lifeblood into my business, there was going to be no coaching” – Mark Silverman

“You GOTTA learn how to run a business” – Mark Silverman

“Why should you be stressed out about life?” – Mark Silverman

“I believe that coaching is a sacred profession. And if you don't fall in love with the person you're coaching I think you have no business coaching them” – Mark Silverman
