Mentoring & Coaching for Founders and Entrepreneurs

For founders and entrepreneurs who want clarity, confidence, and alignment

You can build a successful business and still feel:
  • Stuck
  • Disconnected
  • Carrying too much
  • Unclear on your next move

This work is for founders and leaders who don’t just want more growth, but better direction.

I mentor entrepreneurs who are building something meaningful — and want to do it without burning out, losing themselves, or second-guessing every decision.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • You’re a founder, entrepreneur, or leader
  • You’ve built momentum but something feels off
  • You’re scaling a team and want it to feel human
  • You want clearer thinking and stronger self-trust
  • You value honesty, depth, and grounded conversation

This is not:
  • Hustle coaching
  • Therapy
  • Motivational hype
It’s mentoring rooted in real experience.

My approach

I bring together:

  • Real-world business experience — building and exiting multiple businesses, including a £30m+ company
  • Strategic clarity — helping you see what actually matters next
  • Culture and leadership insight — how you show up shapes everything
  • Nervous system and energy awareness — because clarity doesn’t come from force

The work is practical, reflective, and human.

Clear mind. Strong centre. Aligned action.

Building culture that actually works

At Bella+Duke, culture wasn’t a set of values on a wall — it was how decisions were made every day.


Strong culture came from:
  • Clear standards, not vague intentions
  • Psychological safety and accountability
  • Honest conversations, even when uncomfortable
  • Leaders doing the inner work, not outsourcing it

In mentoring, culture often shows up through:
  • How you lead under pressure
  • What you tolerate
  • How trust is built or lost
  • Whether people feel safe to speak and take responsibility

Culture isn’t soft.
It’s what allows businesses to scale without breaking people.
Ways to work with us

"What makes Mark different from most coaches is that he doesn’t simply tweak behaviours or offer surface-level advice. He has a rare ability to strip away ego and get to the true core of who you are — the beliefs, drivers and patterns that actually shape how you think, lead and perform. It can be confronting at times, but that’s exactly why it works. From that place of honesty and clarity, he helps you rebuild with far greater purpose, confidence and alignment.

Mark combines deep personal work with real-world experience in sales, leadership and building successful businesses. That balance means the insights are not only reflective and thought-provoking, but also highly practical and applicable.

Perhaps the most powerful thing about Mark is the belief he holds in the people he works with. He has an ability to see what you are capable of — often before you see it yourself — and that belief is incredibly motivating. It gives you a level of confidence and conviction that genuinely moves the needle.

Whether you are looking to accelerate your growth or consolidate and gain deeper clarity, Mark’s guidance is invaluable. His experience, perspective and approach create lasting change that goes far beyond typical coaching." - Ben Walker 2026

The 12-Month Entrepreneur Cohort

A year of clarity, leadership, and shared growth
This is a small group of founders walking a full year together.

It’s for entrepreneurs who want:
  • Consistency, not quick fixes
  • Community, not isolation
  • Support as both a leader and a human being

What the year includes
  • Monthly group mentoring calls
  • Space for real conversations and accountability
  • Leadership, strategy, and inner work
  • Optional in-person days at Torus Tree
  • A trusted circle of peers

Group size is intentionally small.

This is about becoming a clearer, calmer, more grounded leader — not just a busier one.

Experience & recognition

My work has been recognised through:

  • Building and leading award-winning teams
  • Entrepreneur of the Year recognition
  • Entrepreneur in Residence at Edinburgh University
  • Regularly being invited to speak at conferences and on podcasts

These matter not as trophies — but as proof of experience in the real world.

Why this work sits at Torus Tree

Torus Tree exists to support people who help others — and founders and leaders carry more than most. Most people spend a large part of their lives at work.

That means the quality of leadership inside businesses quietly shapes how people feel every day. This mentoring sits alongside:

  • Breathwork
  • Energy healing
  • Bioresonance
  • Ceremony and reflection

Each is a different doorway. All serve the same intention: clarity, confidence, and alignment.

I believe meaningful change happens less through politics and policy, and more through founders and leaders who choose to lead with awareness, integrity, and care.

Support the person at the centre — and the ripple spreads far beyond them.
