About Mark Sutherland, leadership coach I am a leadership coach based in Sydney. The experiences that led me to where I am now are many and varied. I was born in Singapore and have lived in Britain, Brunei, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Australia. Formative experiences were an education in North Yorkshire, service in One Squadron Honourable Artillery Company, emigration to Australia, working in banking, superannuation and investment and, more recently, in teaching, training and facilitation. My highest qualification is a Masters of Business Administration from the Australian Graduate School of Management. I have taught Change Management and leadership at degree and diploma level and have facilitated courses for the Frontline Management Institute for over ten years. I am also an author. My book, Exterminating Poverty: The true story of the eugenic plan to get rid of the poor, and the Scottish doctor who fought against it (written in conjunction with Neil Sutherland) was published in 2020. It tells the true story of my grandfather’s fight against eugenics in Britain around one-hundred years ago. A long story, but what does it mean for you? When I coach individuals or facilitate groups, I apply my expertise to help each participant travel along their path to success. As stated, my experiences have been many and varied and, given adversity and setbacks, at times hard won. I learned as much from failing exams or getting lack-lustre results as from getting high distinctions. I have never forgotten what it is like to not know, the confusion that is caused by poor explanations, and of the importance of context. All of this is reflected in the clarity of my delivery. I have worked at different levels on the corporate ladder. My jobs at the lowest levels gave me insight into how incentives and behaviours work at different levels of an organisation. It has been essential in keeping me grounded while I acquired “book knowledge” at diploma and post-graduate level. The result is that while I am conversant with the theory my approach is practical and based in the real-world. My experience of different countries, cultures, organisations and institutions has enabled me to relate to people of all backgrounds, cultures and collar-colour.
