Meet Mark Sharman

Guiding You from Overwhelm to Mentally Awake

Your Partner in Clarity and Achievement

Hello, I'm Mark Sharman. For over 30 years, I've navigated the demanding landscapes of leadership roles in business, government, and non-profits on both sides of the Atlantic. Throughout this journey, I witnessed a recurring pattern – not just in others, but often reflected in my own experience: smart, capable, ambitious people feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to consistently focus on what truly matters in our increasingly distracting world.

As a certified Master Coach, I've dedicated myself to understanding the gap between potential and performance, between busy-ness and genuine productivity.

Like many of the individuals I've worked with, I saw the constant struggle against distraction, the feeling of running on autopilot, and the frustration of knowing you could achieve more if only you could harness your focus and energy effectively.

Whether leading teams across continents or navigating complex projects, I realized that external success is intrinsically linked to our internal state – our mental awakeness. I saw the need for a practical, adaptable system that went beyond simple time management hacks to address the root causes of overwhelm and lack of direction. It needed to provide structure and flexibility, acknowledging that we aren't all wired the same way.

I look forward to the journey we are going to take together.

Best wishes

Mark

The Journey: From Experience to a Proven System

The Mentally Awake Success System wasn't created overnight. It's a synthesis of decades of leadership experience, insights gained from coaching hundreds of individuals, and a deep dive into proven principles of productivity, focus, resilience, and intentional living. 

I distilled complex ideas into a clear, actionable framework – initially the 5 core Processes (Vision, Goals, Focus, Action, Achievement) and now expanded to include the 5 foundational Pillars (Direction, Resilience, Resources, Organization, Community) – designed to be implemented in the real world, by real people with busy lives.

My Mission: Helping You Thrive

My mission is simple: to equip you with the tools and mindset to become Mentally Awake. 

I want to help you cut through the noise, gain clarity on your direction, build unwavering focus, take consistent action, and ultimately achieve the success and happiness you deserve – without sacrificing your well-being. 

I believe everyone has the capacity to live a more focused, productive, and fulfilling life, and the Mentally Awake Success System is the practical roadmap to get you there.
