About Me
Feeling Stuck? Let’s Change That.
You’re smart, capable, and driven—but something isn’t clicking. Maybe you’re a mid-career professional or executive at a crossroads, struggling to lead with confidence or make your next move. Maybe you’re an educator balancing passion, workload, and burnout, or a graduate student overwhelmed by deadlines and self-doubt as you push toward your goals.
You know you’re capable of more, but figuring out what’s next or how to get there feels overwhelming. You don’t need generic advice—you need a real conversation, a clear strategy, and a coach who gets it.
Coaching That Works—Because It’s Built for You
I don’t do one-size-fits-all coaching. Instead, I create a space where you can step back, get honest about what’s holding you back, and build a plan that actually works for you.
Through presence-based coaching, I help you cut through the noise, build confidence, and take meaningful action.
We’ll use frameworks like GROW, Appreciative Inquiry, and Motivational Interviewing—not as rigid formulas, but as practical tools to unlock real insights.
✅ Clarify next steps with a strategy that fits your goals
✅ Strengthen decision-making and leadership presence
✅ Navigate challenges with resilience and purpose
Why Work With Me? Because I Get It.
With 25+ years of experience in leadership, teaching, training, consulting, and mentoring, I’ve worked with executives, educators, and students navigating high-stakes decisions and career transitions.
I hold a Ph.D. in Leadership, I’m a certified Motivational Interviewing Trainer, and I’m pursuing ICF coaching certification—blending academic expertise with results-driven coaching.
I’ve led teams, consulted for organizations, and mentored professionals through complex challenges. My coaching is grounded, structured, and designed for real people facing real challenges.
You won’t leave sessions with vague ideas—you’ll have a clear plan and momentum.

My experience was very positive. Mark helped me with taking perspective as well as techniques to take into considerations when I do feel/sense myself spiraling downward from stress. Additionally, as I am currently a graduate student, he provided me with some tactics on how to approach and conversate with my professors in a more constructive manner. Absolutely loved his calm demeanor and the entire time I just felt like we were having a good open conversation that was void of judgement.

Dr. Mark Manasse is a great career/life coach. He helped me work through a place of being stuck in which direction I'd like to pursue with respect to career issues. He's great at making you dig deep to figure out what is really important to you and point yourself in that direction. It's like the answers were there all along, but Mark knows how to ask the right questions- or better yet, helps you figure out what questions to ask yourself to get unstuck and gain clarity on YOUR life and priorities. I highly recommend working with Mark Manasse to help figure out a direction, shake off inaction, understand your WHY, and believe in yourself so you can achieve what you want. Mark's services are invaluable.
