Great advice!

The call gave me several actionable next steps and next 'don't do' steps for a project I'm working on. Mark's coaching struck a good balance of being direct yet not harsh, his feedback was clear + actionable with a non-judgmental tone.
Victor Frankl said to..."live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!” Mark's guidance of mistakes to avoid will save me considerable time + energy.
