Mark Byford created Further Horizons to help senior leaders facing major transitions. Many ask themselves how best to meet fresh challenges in a way that is authentic, but engages more of their potential. Mark has walked this path with a wide variety of global CEOs. He has an outstanding record helping them set the right development goals, understand themselves better, and transform their approach for lasting success.

Are Further Horizons Really Attainable?

Journeying Within

Self-awareness is so important to being a successful leader, yet many lack the maps to navigate and explore their inner world effectively. Mark offers a coaching experience that uses simple but profound models to enable that navigation and help unlock more of your personal potential.

Business Focused

Coaches can feel rather distant from day-to-day business challenges, but so often those challenges are at the heart of the work. Mark has been a business consultant at the most senior levels globally for thirty-five years, and weaves his resulting know-how seamlessly into the coaching journey.

Timeless Wisdom

We sense that others in previous centuries must have faced similar dilemmas to our own, but how can we tap into what they learned? As a professional historian steeped in culture, Mark’s coaching makes space for perspectives derived from art, literature, history and spiritual traditions across the ages.

“Mark is one of the most amazing coaches I've met. I have supervised him for many years and know his work well. More importantly I've assessed his work by getting feedback directly from some of the major CEOs who have been his clients. I have never heard such superlatives! He is insightful, quietly inspiring, and each one felt his bespoke approach had had a significant impact on their lives and careers.”
