About Mark

Mark Winebrenner has been a Certified Coach since 2016 and a small business owner since 1995. Before launching his own business, he spent over a decade in hotel and apartment management where he began to develop a deep understanding of people, leadership and service. 

He often describes his life in two distinct chapters: the first living selfishly without vision and direction, resulting in many bad choices; the second anchored in faith with a desire to live selflessly and with purpose. The turning point came when he embraced a life built on timeless truths and principles-choosing to intentionally learn, live and lead.   

That transformation fuels Mark’s passion to help you live your story with clarity, courage and vision so that your life aligns with what matters most to you.   

He is a father to two amazing men and lives in Fishers, Indiana, with Sharon, his beautiful bride of almost 30 years.

Client Testimonies

“When you run a small business, or in my case, a non-profit organization, you can often feel as though you are on your own in making routine decisions that do not rise to the level of your governing board or need to be worked out before being presented to your staff. That was my case before I began meeting regularly with Mark each month through SoThat Coaching.   Mark has helped me stay on mission and make decisions that truly benefit my organization based on solid marketing, management, and efficiency principles.   Mark also provides virtues of wisdom, character, and accountability to keep me on track to achieve the goals I set as a leader, manager, vision caster, and employer.  Mark has improved my leadership skills and helped me to make decisions that have benefited my organization.”

“When we first started our business, Mark was an incredible resource. As a new business owner, you don't know what you don't know, and Mark helped me think through many of the unexpected challenges that come with building a company. He asked thoughtful questions, challenged my thinking, and helped approach ideas with greater clarity and confidence. What impressed me most was the impact didn’t’ stop with me. We offered coaching with Mark as a benefit to our employees, and several members of our team benefited from his guidance and professional development. His ability to connect with people at different stages of their careers was evident and helped strengthen our organization. I’m grateful for the role Mark played in helping us build a solid foundation. I would recommend him to any business owner or leader looking for a coach who has both practical business experience and a genuine desire to help people grow.”

Before working with Mark, I often felt the weight of leadership without having a safe place to process it. Because I had influence over many of the people around me, I did not always feel it was appropriate to be fully vulnerable or openly share the challenges I was facing. I needed an objective, trusted voice who could help me grow not only as a leader, but also spiritually as a husband, father, coworker, and man of God.

Working with Mark has provided clarity, encouragement, accountability, and a safe space to work through difficult thoughts and situations. He has helped me better understand who I am as a leader and become more intentional about preparing my heart for important conversations, challenging relationships, and circumstances that could otherwise throw me off balance.

As a result of coaching, I have grown in confidence and emotional maturity both at home and in the workplace. I am having deeper conversations with my wife, clients, and colleagues, and I am better equipped to take responsibility for my thoughts, feelings, and responses. Mark has also helped me recognize and fight against the lies and distractions of the enemy rather than allowing them to control my mindset.

Coaching with Mark has strengthened my leadership, deepened my faith, and helped me become more grounded and intentional with the people I influence.
