Looking for help in reaching a challenging outcome?

My favorite day is spent working on interesting problems and finding innovative ways to solve them visually.

We should talk.

 

Hello.
I'm Mark Sylvester.

My favorite day is one spent working on interesting problems and finding creative ways to solve them visually.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the scope of a great challenge?

No problem. I’ve developed a 5-step recipe that helps you visualize the outcome. Before you start.

I call it  “See what you Think.”

HOW WE'LL WORK TOGETHER

 

Years ago I abandoned the idea of putting values up for all to see. Instead, I call them Observable Behaviors and reflect each week to see if I can find an example of how they'd been put into practice. Do you have values that you can see in action? These are mine:

Solve problems visually.

Cultivate emotional intelligence.

Stay curious. Forever.

Show up. Be present. Listen loudly.

Make every moment memorable.

 
I had the great pleasure of working with Mark recently in making a podcast for 805 Conversations. I am impressed with Mark’s constant energy and enthusiasm for each topic, his insight in delving into the issues in an engaging and informed manner, and his utter delight at discussing each point. His wealth of experiences, great appreciation for our region, and joie de vivre make his podcasts a joy to record and a wonder to hear. The resulting podcast is stunning, with no lags anywhere in it, and keeping the listener engaged in the subject, learning much along the way.

These days everyone wants a one-click solution to life. We want someone else to solve our problems. Guess what? When you decide to own the problem, you will reach your goals. I can help.

I write for New Thinking Magazine and post monthly articles about clever ways to think about life's challenges.

Recipes

Because of my background as a chef, I think about problems as recipes. They have steps, a beginning, middle and end, and a list of ingredients. Recipes are predictable, repeatable and a wonderfully creative playground.
