The Deep Coach

How can human potential actually be measured? And once it’s measured, what can you actually do with that information?In this episode of The Deep Coach, Jonathan Hermida sits down with Mark Vandeneijnde, co-founder of Being at Full Potential and creator of the Human Potential & IDG assessment platforms, to explore a bold question: Can we bring objectivity to inner development—without losing its soul?Mark shares his deeply human journey—from feeling misaligned in the corporate world, to embracing sensitivity as a gift, to building one of the most holistic frameworks for understanding human potential today. Together, Jonathan and Mark explore trust, awareness, inspiration, abundance, service, and why these inner capacities may be the defining skills of leadership in an AI-driven world.Topics Explored:01:25 Mark's Pre-Transformation Life03:13 Early Signs of Depth and Sensitivity04:54 Entering the Corporate World08:07 Discovering Coaching and Sensitivity as a Gift12:23 The Decision to Leave Corporate Life14:42 Family Dynamics and Entrepreneurial Challenges19:10 Recalibrating Success and Family Life20:30 Insights from the Heart in Business Documentary34:57 Developing the Human Potential Model37:34 Defining Human Potential38:10 Unleashing Human Potential38:23 The Role of Inspiration and Abundance38:53 Service and Greater Purpose40:02 Unique Human Potential40:32 Audience and Language41:54 Organizational Impact44:49 Entrepreneurial Journey47:13 Trust and Harmony in Leadership51:03 Navigating Impermanence53:57 Reinvention and Vision01:00:52 Democratizing Human Potential01:11:17 Advice for Transformational Journeys🔗 Connect with Mark Learn more about Mark’s work: https://beingatfullpotential.com Take the assessment: https://beingatfullpotential.io/ Connect with Mark on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markvandeneijnde/ Learn More About Our Work at the Center: Website: https://www.centerfortransformationalcoaching.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedeepcoachInstagram: https://instagram.com/thedeepcoach➡️ Download our Free Guide: "How to Make a Living as a Transformational Coach"💡 Please subscribe to get updates on the latest episodes.
