Two things I love about this interview. First, Mark is a fellow Aussie. That always puts me in a good mood. Second, he’s reinvented himself. He was a VP and COO for the JP Morgan Private Bank in London. And he is now the world’s first executive meditation coach. He teaches at the Harvard Law School and the Wharton Business School as well as having many private clients and he’s written a fantastic book Meditation in a New York Minute: Super Calm for the Super Busy. (Doesn’t that sound useful? It really is.) So this is a story that combines business, and the quest for Great Work, and finding and creating a unique space in the world.
In the interview we’ll get into:
- How connecting with the peak moments can give you a powerful insight as to what your Great Work might be – if you’re courageous enough to pursue it
- The power of meditation as a diagnostic tool – and as a business critical tool (1200 scientific studies can’t be wrong)
- How to counter the epidemic of uncertainty and stress – something that’s costing North America about a trillion dollars each year
- The path of 30,000 steps – and how you can begin that journey in just a couple of minutes
