Mark Groves: The Runners and Chasers in Relationships // Healing Wounds Through Partnerships

Episode 145: Mark is a Human Connection Specialist - an emotional translator, writer, speaker and coach. Through his work Mark helps people understand their emotional matrix and how to master themselves and their words. His clients range from individuals and couples, to businesses and leaders. He takes what you think you want, finds out what you really want, and gives you the tools to achieve your goals. Mark had always wondered what separated people with amazing relationships from those who were just average. Why did some relationships maintain bliss for a lifetime, and others… not so much? Why did some people have the ability to leads thousands, and others couldn’t even lead themselves? From what he has seen and experienced, how we connect to others will be the single greatest predictor of success in every facet of our lives. So he set out to discover the secrets of those who thrive in love and life so he could become one. His research became his life, and he lives everything he learns and writes about.
