Transformational Coaching for Inner Leadership & Self-Mastery

Unlock your potential by learning how to master your mind, manage your nervous system, optimise your health and lead from your Inner Core. I’ll guide you every step of the way.

Under Pressure? You’re Not Alone.

High-performing entrepreneurs, professionals and leaders often carry a hidden weight — relentless pressure, constant demands and the toll it takes on your health, energy, and wellbeing.

You know how to lead, deliver and show up for others.

But who’s helping you stay grounded, healthy and in control?

Meet Dr Mark

Creator of Inner Leadership Coaching

Dr. Mark Atkinson

Hi, my name is Mark Atkinson. I’m a medical doctor, master coach, somatic meditation teacher and inner leadership expert. For over two decades, I’ve helped thousands of people unlock their potential through Inner Leadership—the conscious practice of mastering the mind, regulating the nervous system, optimising health and living from the Inner Core: the resourceful, responsive dimension of your being that exists beyond the stories and reactivity of the conceptual mind.

I’ve coached many founders, executives and high achievers who appeared successful on the outside but were struggling internally with stress, self-doubt, fatigue or burnout. I understand what it’s like to carry the weight of constant responsibility—and what it takes to meet life’s demands without sacrificing your health, relationships or integrity.

My Inner Leadership system has supported thousands of individuals globally, including over 1,000 leaders at Google Cloud, where I helped embed its core practices into their award-winning leadership development program.

It is my intent to be of service to you.

When You’re Always “On,” Something Eventually Switches Off

You’re capable. Driven. Committed. But even the strongest systems break under too much strain.

You may be noticing:

  • You’re tired, but wired.
  • You’re reactive in moments when you used to feel composed.
  • Your focus and energy are inconsistent.
  • You’re succeeding outwardly but feel flat or overwhelmed inside.

This is not a failure. It’s a signal — that it’s time to reset from within.

That’s Why I Created Inner Leadership Coaching

This high-impact coaching journey gives you the structure, tools, and expert support to become the architect of your wellbeing, energy, and leadership.

You’ll learn how to:

Master your mind and regulate your nervous system

Optimise your health and build sustainable energy from the inside out

Access greater clarity, presence, resilience, and effectiveness

So you can thrive—personally, professionally and with purpose.

Who It’s For

This experience is designed for individuals who:

  • Operate in high-pressure situations and want to lead from stability, not stress.
  • Value their health but know they’ve neglected key areas.
  • Are ready to evolve—from reactive to responsive, from burnout to balance, from surviving to thriving.

Testimonials

Dr. Mark’s contribution, Inner Leadership, was central to the development of the Google Cloud Way of Sales Coaching. The program was rolled-out globally to over a thousand sales leaders. It also went on to win 2 Gold Medals for Leadership Excellence at the Brandon Hall Awards in 2021 for Best Advance in Coaching and Mentoring and for Most Innovative Leadership Development program. The shifts I witnessed in leaders who adopted the Inner Game practices remains one of my greatest inspirations as a sales coach. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality and importance of what Dr. Mark’s approach to training offers.

Aluba Fenix

Dr. Mark Atkinson’s four-week training on stress response and leadership during COVID was pivotal for our team at ACES. His concept of operating ‘above the line’ versus ‘below the line’ was not only simple and applicable, it was transformative, providing our clinicians and top executives with practical tools to combat burnout. Thanks to Dr. Atkinson’s guidance, we embarked on a journey of well-being that helped us not just survive, but thrive through the challenges of the pandemic.

To say that the tools learned in this course are helpful is honestly an incredible understatement. They are radically life changing. In fact, prior to taking this course, I was only partially living life. Now I am experiencing life from an amazingly beautiful and peaceful place called, presence. Thank you so much, I am forever changed and inspired to lead others to the land of true living!!

Dr. Mark is a magician! Love the way he sinks into the moment with his students and attunes to them. His emphasis on embodiment is crucial to any Presencing practice. Thank you!

My experience working with Dr. Mark Atkinson has been crucial for my growth as a Coach, as a mother, and professional. The sense of awareness I have obtained through his insight and exercises are priceless. I have experienced wholeness and a deep understanding of my deepest commitment. Letting life unfold before me, not resisting but flowing and allowing life through me has made my experience with adversity a learning experience, an opportunity to see light when I thought there was just darkness. Learning to BE in the ocean rather than to think I want to swim has been eye opening. Thank you.
