Bio:

Mark’s career started in investment banking in London and Hong Kong. About 25 years ago he went through a spiritual awakening. Since then he has been consulting and teaching on transformative leadership in organizations and with individuals.
Initially I became a a partner in Alexander, the UK pioneer in executive coaching. I took a two-year sabbatical in the late 90s to manage the garden at Esalen Institute and this inspired my life and work philosophy.
My clients are now mostly entrepreneurs and social change visionaries: recently including IDEO, BALLE, Irvine New Leadership Network, as well as Desmond Tutu and his family foundation.
I hold an MBA from Stanford, an MA in Classical Literature from Oxford, and an MA in Psychology from Meridian University.
