Coaching Mentoring

When your highest performers are struggling, or when you need someone genuinely qualified to work alongside your senior leaders, the person you bring in matters enormously.

Mark Butler sits at a rare intersection, both as a clinical psychotherapist and with deep corporate experience, which means he understands both the human cost of sustained pressure and the commercial reality of the environments your leaders operate in.

Working closely with leaders around the world, he is a specialist who works discreetly, at the level your leaders actually operate, with the clinical depth to address what is really going on beneath the surface.

Whether you are looking for a short, sharp intervention or a sustained twelve-month partnership, what you will find here is serious work, done discreetly, at the level your people actually operate.

Coming in 2026

The alpha myth was built on bad science, borrowed from stressed wolves in captivity, and imported wholesale into human leadership culture. The result? Generations of high-performing people who learned to perform strength while quietly paying an enormous personal cost. This book dismantles that myth and replaces it with something far more powerful — and far more human

The Alpha Project:

The Alpha Project — 12-Month Programme
This is a twelve-month, high-access partnership developed for leaders who are still delivering but quietly feel the cost has gone up.  Designed to protect your judgement, your capacity and your edge, by ensuring that what you carry does not slowly narrow the quality of everything you produce.

The Alpha Project — 12-Week Programme
A focused, high-access twelve-week partnership for leaders who want cleaner thinking, sharper decision-making and a regulated nervous system that holds up when the pressure is highest.  This is a brief version of our wider 12 month program to get you back on track.

Burnout The Invisible Enemy

The most expensive thing happening in your organisation right now is probably invisible — and this white paper gives leaders and people managers the research, the framework and the practical tools to identify burnout before it becomes a crisis rather than after.
