Mark Moore

Learning and performance consultant

Coolum Beach, QLD | www.getsortednow.com/blog

Mark helps business and career people fly high. In 2003 he started flying solo in his own work and has gained height and strength ever since. He helps individuals to get their ladder up against the right wall in their career or business, and then to climb it fast.

Mark's work comes from a life long passion for "accelerated learning" which he's helped organisations and businesses of all sizes in the UK and Australia to apply through his popular seminars. His work increases their productivity, improves their business acumen and cuts the costs and pain associated with learning and applying new skills and approaches.

More recently Mark has helped people find and get into their ideal career or business, get and keep more customers and increase their performance surprisingly fast. He offers plenty of free help and ideas through his websites and blogs, and a free e-course.
