Mark makes your life easier

Do you, your colleagues or staff ever have to ….

  • Work with people who don’t share resources, don’t clean up after themselves and don’t care much about others?
  • Deal with someone who’s vague, hard to follow and won’t give straightforward answers?
  • Give someone bad news?
  • Speak up and state your case even though it mightn’t be well received?
  • Serve someone who’s rude and uncooperative?
  • Get someone who doesn’t pull their weight, undermines others or breaks the rules, to do ‘the right thing’?

then you’ve come to the right place.
