I'm Markes Rembert Jr., MBA, MS-ECOC — a Black, healthcare leader who drives operations, where I focus on access, patient experience, and team performance across complex clinical environments. My coaching approach is grounded in lived experience, systems-thinking, and soulful strategy.
Before stepping into practice leadership, I built a track record as an operations and sales leader known for effecting change and developing talent. Guided by my belief that healthcare should always begin with empathy, I ground my work in a patient-centered approach that motivates my efforts to improve systems and experiences.
I complement my healthcare expertise with executive-coaching training (MS in Executive Coaching & Organizational Consulting), partnering with clinicians and administrators to clarify priorities, pressure-test decisions, and translate objectives into accountable sprints. I've been called a "change catalyst" and a "psychological safety architect." But at my core, I'm here to help you remember who you are — and lead from that place.
Let's Work Together
I offer coaching and consulting for leaders and organizations ready to grow with purpose. Each engagement is thoughtfully designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you're navigating burnout, building team cohesion, or transforming operational systems.

Guided by Core Values
My work is anchored in principles that shape every coaching conversation, workshop facilitation, and organizational engagement. These aren't just words on a page — they're the foundation of how I show up, listen deeply, and partner with leaders who are committed to meaningful change.
Authenticity
Leadership begins with knowing yourself. I create space for leaders to show up as their full selves — embracing strengths, acknowledging vulnerabilities, and leading from a place of genuine presence rather than performative perfection.
Compassion
Transformation requires gentleness with ourselves and others. I believe in holding high standards while extending deep grace, recognizing that sustainable change happens through care, not criticism.
Growth
Every challenge is an invitation to expand. I partner with leaders who are curious, courageous, and committed to continuous evolution — personally, professionally, and systemically.
Integrity
Alignment between values and actions creates powerful leadership. I help leaders identify what matters most and make decisions that honor their commitments to themselves, their teams, and their communities.
This Work Is My Dharma
Living your Dharma means honoring what calls you — especially when it's hard. I believe leadership is about showing up with more heart, more clarity, and more care. Not because it's easy, but because it's aligned.
Coaching is where we reconnect with that alignment. It's where purpose meets practice, where vision becomes actionable, and where leaders remember why they chose this path in the first place.
My dharma is to hold space for your transformation — to help you lead from your deepest values, navigate complexity with grace, and create systems that honor both excellence and humanity.
The Coaching Journey
Transformation doesn't happen overnight, but it does happen through intentional, consistent practice. Here's what the journey looks like when we work together:
1
Discovery & Foundation
We begin by exploring your current reality — your challenges, aspirations, values, and vision. Through deep listening and powerful questions, we establish clarity on where you are and where you want to go.
2
Awareness & Insight
As we deepen our work together, patterns emerge. You'll gain insight into your leadership style, blind spots, strengths, and the systemic forces shaping your experience. This awareness becomes the foundation for intentional change.
3
Action & Experimentation
Coaching is about doing, not just talking. We'll co-create experiments, practice new approaches, and test strategies in real time. Between sessions, you'll implement what we've explored, gathering data and insights.
4
Integration & Expansion
Sustainable transformation requires integration. We'll reflect on what's working, adjust what isn't, and deepen the practices that align with your authentic leadership. Your growth ripples outward, impacting your team and organization.
Who This Work Is For
My coaching and consulting serves leaders who are ready to bridge the gap between who they are and how they lead. If you recognize yourself in these descriptions, we should talk.
The Burned-Out Leader
You're exhausted from carrying too much. You know something has to change, but you're not sure where to start. You need support reconnecting with why you chose this work and creating sustainable practices that honor your humanity.
The Transitioning Professional
You're stepping into a new role, taking on greater responsibility, or navigating a career pivot. You want to lead with confidence and clarity, but you're facing uncertainty and imposter syndrome. You need a partner to help you trust your capacity.
The Values-Driven Visionary
You have a clear vision for what's possible, but you're struggling to translate that vision into action within complex systems. You need strategic support aligning your values with operational realities and building buy-in for change.
The Culture Transformer
You're leading a team or organization through change. You recognize that culture matters, that psychological safety matters, and that people need more than top-down mandates. You're ready to invest in human-centered leadership development.
What Makes This Coaching Different
Lived Experience
I don't just study leadership — I've lived it. As a Black, queer leader in healthcare, I understand navigating complex systems, building resilience, and leading with authenticity when the stakes are high.
Systems Thinking
Individual transformation happens within organizational contexts. I help you see the bigger picture, understand systemic patterns, and create change that addresses root causes, not just symptoms.
Practical Wisdom
Coaching isn't abstract theory — it's grounded in actionable strategies, real-world application, and tangible results. We'll co-create approaches that work in your specific context.
