Testimonials for Mark Hodgson

It was a great experience to work with Mark Hodgson on the SYT programme. His energy and challenge set a remarkable pace – balanced by his determination to ensure that I re-constructed the complexity of my portfolio with absolute clarity. I would recommend him to anyone who has reached the stage where they know they have more to do – but struggle to articulate its true value.

I met Mark Hodgson a couple of hours after giving a TEDx talk, one of the BIG events in my career to date. I remembering saying to him I was suffered from bravery burnout and he cheerfully said he'd be able to help with that. Mark mentored me through the Thought Leaders program, which was a complete game-changer in how I approach thinking about, packaging, and 'selling' my ideas, and beyond. He's got a great sense of humour and invaluable sounding board and I always look forward to sharing my successes and setbacks with him over coffee.

Mark Hodgson has coached me directly and our leadership team for over 2 years. In that time, we have benefited hugely from growing as thought leaders within our sector and understanding better how to both navigate and communicate our changing environments. This has impacted our bottom line by helping to stand out from the crowd, attract new customers and grow revenue.

Mark Hodgson and I met through Thought Leadership Business School and we quickly established a mentor/mentee relationship. His guidance and generosity have been essential to my quick liftoff in starting a business from zero. The part of Mark I value most is he has a way of making you feel thoroughly supported - constant check ins, encouragement, challenging my limiting perspectives, and helping me celebrate my successes. I truly feel he's in this ship with me, and that's invaluable to me.

Mark Hodgson mentored me as I began my thought leadership journey. He helped me to refine my message, focus on the value I could offer, position myself more effectively with my market, and write a book. During the year Mark mentored me, I increased my annual revenue by around $100,000, and, even more importantly I was able to start doing the kind of work I really wanted to do.

Working with Mark Hodgson will give you a huge confidence boost, wise counsel, support, and an excellent and honest sounding board for your ideas. Mark has an exceptional ability to really "see" you and understand your strengths and what you are trying to achieve. I recommend him highly if you are looking to ramp up your thought leadership, coaching, training, or speaking practice.

About My Brain Institute

Working with Mark Hodgson through the Thought Leadership program has changed the way that I approach work entirely. It provided a framework to help me elevate my thinking and promote a more confident voice, positioning me as an authority to my clients and increasingly, in my industry as well. I now produce quality content more frequently and exert greater influence on my market. Mark's credentials are impressive, but the thing that struck me the most was his passion for the ideas and genuine enjoyment in what he does. This makes sessions productive and importantly, fun. Mark continues to work with us on a long-term basis, which is the measure of our belief in the value he offers our business.

I’ve been working with Mark Hodgson now for a few years and the results have been fantastic. Initially Mark introduced me to the Thought Leadership process and I was able to establish a way of looking at mining my intellectual property for a better commercial return. This has been highly successful and rewarding.

Mark Hodgson’s approach is all about getting you to do the work: inspiring you and challenging you to find your answers. He doesn’t just teach; he collaborates. He knows the Thought Leaders material inside and out and is passionate in his delivery of it. What I liked best about Mark is that he walks his talk. He is building his own practice and was candid in his experience and progress with it thus far. You don’t find that kind of candor and empathy every day.

Mark Hodgson is brilliant collaborator who inspires you to think outside the box and translates ideas into outcomes. I thoroughly enjoyed the SYT experience. Being a regular attendee of programs of this nature, I was surprised to find how elevated the outcomes of this program were. The program is a great opportunity for you to build value not only in your current level of thinking, and to elevate this to a level that will truly be leveraged in many ways.

My mind was sparked from the get go on a webinar with Mark Hodgson. A key take away was making an active choice to become a change champion! The webinar provoked me to engage with Mark as my Leadership Coach and in two out of nine sessions I’ve crystallised my intent across interconnected areas of my holistic world of body, mind and heart/spirit.

Thought Leadership has awakened a renewed sense of creativity.  My imagination is fired up as I’m designing new models of inspired learning to meet the needs of learners.  In reading the tea leaves to understand what signals of change and challenge are operating in my world of education and how to find solutions to emergent problems/barriers. Importantly I’m connected within myself to a renewed sense of congruence that has increased my energy, enthusiasm and productivity as an educational leader.
