About Rayner Institute

Established in 2010 the Rayner Institute was founded by Mark Rayner. 
Mark has spent more than 40 years studying human behavior and neuroscience.  His mandate was to uncover the reasons why the majority of the population suffer and seldom get what they want in life while only a few thrive and live in great abundance.  It is from this extensive research that we now have the "Rayner Executive Coaching Model." The Model provides the Executive Coach with the infrastructure to coach his/her client starting from a renewed awareness to reach an imagined future. This is all done through the Rayner Model which has the client feel S.A.F.E. in the process by removing blind spots and using their ability to create what they want through a series of steps moving towards a desired goal. This is a creation conversation not a fixing conversation. 

Executive Coach and LeadershipTraining Program.
Provides the learner with the knowledge and practical experience needed to be a Professional Executive coach in the workplace. The workplace can be a battleground of mistrust and self-preservation which costs companies millions of dollars annually. When trust and integrity is addressed and established in the workplace there is greater productivity and satisfaction benefiting all parties creating a healthy and productive workplace. The Leadership training that is part of the training provides the necessary information and in class practical experience to gain the skills to be an effective leader. We work with seasoned leaders, new leaders and leaders transitioning into more senior roles. This illuminates the difference between a Leader - Mentor - Boss or manager.  Effective leaders empower their staff by being authentic and trusting. This leads to productive and effective employees in the workplace.

​Affordability
Mark wanted to make this life changing training accessible to as many people globally as possible. He realized he needed to keep the overhead low, so the students were not paying for expensive, unnecessary infrastructure. There was one solution that reduced overhead without affecting the level of training and also eliminating the need for travel. So, offering the programs online with live interaction between the students and instructors made this vision a reality. 

Mark had a successful career as an Industrial Engineer and felt there was more he needed to do in life that would have real meaning with lasting change. He heard about Executive Coaching and it changed his life.  He then embarked on attaining more education to become an Executive Coach.  He soon discovered the training to be very expensive and lacking tangible content. He completed the training programs in 2010 without any real valuable skill or confidence as an Executive Coach. He realized that applying what he had learned had little or no lasting impact on his clients. Over the next few years his research on human behaviour motivating principles with regards to leading others made him compelled to teach these techniques to others. Mark had worked in many industries as an Industrial Engineer and found a common theme of mistrust and people simply putting in time.  There had to be a better way to get the staff to realize that they needed to care about the company for it to really be successful.  It was with this that he has asked hundreds of employees over the years "What would you do if what you did mattered to you?" 

This program is the better way of teaching Executive Coaching and Leadership.  It is now taught around the world in multiple languages. Mark wanted to provide a powerful Executive Coach training experience for the students, so that when they graduated they felt confident as an Executive Coach. He wanted the training to be accessible without the need to travel and lastly, he wanted it to be affordable. And so he did just that. After many years of successful online operations as an ACTP accredited Life Coaching School with the International Coach Federation (ICF), our affordability  and accessibility make the Rayner Institute the desired Life Coach Training program worldwide.  

Mark's original vision many years ago was to be the most sought after and respected Executive Coach Training Institution in North America. The Rayner Institute is now active on six continents and in multiple languages with hundreds of graduates currently practicing Executive  Coaching using the Rayner Model.

The training is live and interactive with in-class executive coaching practice while receiving mentoring from the facilitator. The students leave this training ready to go into the world as a professional Life Coach offering his/her services to companies and individuals.
