Episode 24: Innovating in a Time Machine with Mark Hurwich from Concentrated Coaching

Mark started Concentrated Coaching in 2012 to serve entrepreneurs, innovative business leaders, and writers/other creatives who've gotten "stuck" or de-energized. They have something important to do. The skills do it. But it's not happening or it's way too hard. Examples include getting started on a new business initiative that keeps getting deferred, overcoming writer's block, or transcending networking phobias or wounds from workplace abuse. Mark applies specialized tools in a very concentrated way, so that a few hours, his clients see such blocks to creative expression vanish. What they've been struggling to do becomes what they love to do. Mark had been a Partner with The London Perret Roche Group, llc., (LPR), which he joined in 2010 with 32 years' experience in global business strategy, sales and marketing tactics, and incentive/organizational design in situations from start-ups to multinationals. At LPR, he helped organizations unleash breakthrough business results by developing behaviors, practices, and attitudinal shifts essential to a culture of high performance and innovation. Previously, Mark was VP Professional Services at marketRx (a Cognizant company) applying analytics to support strategy execution. He was also Group Leader at the strategy advisory firm, Monitor Group; a Senior Partner and Vice President at CSC Healthcare; a Vice President with The Wilkerson Group (merged with IBM Healthcare); a Principal at Towers Perrin; and a lecturer at New York University.
