Mark Simpson made the decision to transition from a corporate career to one that encompasses his lifelong passions after recovering from a serious spinal injury.
Why do this? Here’s why:
“Sustainable behaviours, wellbeing and good health have been part of my life for the last twenty years. Their importance has been reinforced through my recovery from injury and they form an essential part of my life and learning.
“More broadly, I see their value as critical in underpinning both personal and organisational development in meeting the challenges of our modern world.
“While I worked as a lawyer and spent 20 years working in the corporate world in the UK and Australia, closer to heart, I have been involved in establishing an environmental not-for-profit organisation in Australia and have completed courses in coaching skills, stakeholder engagement and outdoor leadership. I am also a CHEK Institute Holistic Lifestyle Coach – Level 1.
“So while I understand the working world and the demands it places on our health and wellbeing, my passion is to bring that back into balance for the benefit of people, organisations and our planet.
“Yoga serves as a foundation and guiding philosophy for my work and personal life. I love my surfing and see the ocean as a powerful metaphor for living, and I enjoy music as a source of creativity, expression and connection.
“In founding Evolve Personal Development, my approach is firmly based on the values of respect, honesty and non-judgment.”
