With a life long passion for ‘accelerated learning’ Mark set up EPI in 2003 to help businesses who are
faced with lots to learn in order to keep ahead. Mark aims to help them to reduce the time, costs, and pain
associated with learning.
He also realised that many of these techniques could be applied to on-the-job performance to increase productivity,
together with other powerful ‘self management’ and thinking tools.
Mark runs programs and workshops for organisations of all sizes in the UK and Australia, helping managers, trainers,
university lecturers, Directors, and CEO's to update their learning ability, their self management skills, and to
use their minds more effectively, with consistently exceptional feedback.
He offers plenty of free help through his website including free monthly tips and tools, and a free ecourse.
