His global client base is wide and diverse, having served clients in North America, UK, Europe, and the Middle East in the fields of investment, sales, energy, manufacturing, the entertainment and media industry, and more.

Dr. Mark Howard

Mark Howard is a licensed psychologist who struggled for most of his early life with the same things. He finally decided to start searching for a way to live in happiness and peace of mind rather than with anger and worry. Mark tried lots of different therapies and spiritual practices that did not provide the answer.

Then in 1982, Mark was blessed to be introduced to Sydney Banks, a man who had an insight about the principles of Mind, Thought, and Consciousness. Sydney saw that it is through these principles that all people create their emotions.

After learning from Sydney Banks and having his own insight about the three principles, Mark’s life changed. Mark realized that he was creating the life he was experiencing within himself from the power he had to think. In fact, Mark realized that all of his upset, disappointment, and anger was occurring from within his own consciousness and was not due to his circumstances. He realized that life is an “inside job.”

Mark realized that he could think any way he wanted. He could be happy and so could his clients, their relationships, and all humankind. All that anyone needs is a realization about the functioning of the three principles.

Mark knows that having a life free of anger, worry, or fear may be very difficult to see right now, but he believes it can happen for you. Mark has seen many people have an insight into the principles and discover their wisdom, well-being, and happiness.
