Member Bio

I’m an award-winning poet who has been coaching my fellow creative professionals for almost 30 years. 

I help my clients in three main areas:

Creativity Coaching – creating the best work of your life

Creative Career Coaching  carving out a uniquely rewarding career

Creative Leadership Coaching – inspiring others to create something bigger than yourself

I host The 21st Century Creative podcast and have written four books for creatives. 

My poetry has been carved in sandstone, turned into a diamond ring, published in leading literary journals, and has won prizes in national competitions.

My show A Mouthful of Air has been selected by The Guardian and Podcast Review as one of the best poetry podcasts.

Mark McGuinness is a rare cat – part poet, part coach for creative professionals, part old-time, overeducated Brit who thinks deeply about stuff you and I have never heard of … a man who has lived the life and who has watched and worked intimately with hundreds of others who’ve done the same.
