About

 Hi, I'm Dr. Mark Manley!

Greetings from the captivating Midlands of South Africa!

I am Dr. Mark Manley, a versatile leader with a diverse background encompassing media, politics, business, and ministry. As a familiar voice on national radio and TV, I've worn many hats, from hosting engaging programs to driving transformative change.


My journey in championing democracy began during my student days, propelling me to become the youngest Mayor of Randburg during the pivotal '90s transition. Notably, I steered conflict resolution as the National Coordinator of Communications for the National Peace Secretariat, a skill now deeply woven into my approach to contemporary business.


Ready to embark on a transformative journey? Let's connect and explore how I can personally guide you towards growth, change, and success in leadership.

Professional Background:

With a consultancy spanning since 1988, I specialize in Strategy, Leadership, and Transformation. My innovative processes, endorsed for their effectiveness, have guided international consultancies for large businesses, governmental departments, FBOs, and NGOs. My hands-on approach involves high-level process facilitation, seminar leadership, and conference engagements, complemented by tutorials and personal consultations. My extensive global reach encompasses over 15 African countries, as well as Europe and North America. From war zones to prestigious conference centres, I draw from diverse experiences to enrich my contributions and interactions with influential leaders. My services extend beyond formal consultations, with many senior leaders maintaining ongoing contact to address specific challenges or crises.


Leadership and Philosophy:

In high demand as a strategist, Leadership Developer, and personal coach, I firmly believe that growth is the birth right of every individual and community. Embracing change and personal transformation are fundamental prerequisites for progress. I champion harnessing the rich diversity of people, collaboratively channelling their potential into a potent force for collective development. My philosophy centres on practical behaviour change resulting from exposure to new information. This shift impacts beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviours, ideally brought about through adult learning principles.
