Mark Warburton

I spent over 20 years working across multiple levels of small to medium sized businesses. Technical work first, then customer-facing roles, then building and managing teams eventually running a multinational business. I did it the long way, which means I understand what it actually takes at each level.

 

I moved to the UK in my early twenties to be present for my son. That was the decision that shaped everything that followed - the career I built, the pace I kept, the choices I made about what mattered. I worked hard to provide for him, and kept working until I’d taken it as far as I was going to take it.

 

That chapter ran its course. I stepped back and took my time - Eighteen months travelling, working out what I actually wanted the next part of my life to look like. I began my coaching qualification, came back to New Zealand, and started WarbyWorks.

 

I know what it looks like to keep delivering under pressure, to carry more than you show - and to get where you planned and find it doesn’t mean what you thought it would.

 

I’m on an ICF-accredited coaching pathway - Level 1 complete, Level 2 in progress, ACC credentialing underway. That means the methodology is evidence-based and the approach is accountable to a professional standard, not improvised. I work with clients in-person in Wanaka and Queenstown and online in New Zealand, the UK, and anywhere in between.

 

I’ll be straight with you, and I won’t settle for the easy answer when there’s a better one underneath it. That’s not always a comfortable conversation - but it’s usually the one that matters.
