Mark M. Whelan
Future Center Ventures Chief Education Officer
Los Altos Hills, California
After a
near death experience with a
Box Jellyfish, I realised that my purpose in life was to become an
authorand
chief education officer which lead to me founding
Human Centered Leaders: a Silicon Valley professional coaching company that focuses on mental wellness and performance.Before that though, I studied Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford University, became a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, supported the UK Consulate initiative
GBx, practiced two years of mindfulness with a Burmese Monk, and completed Kundalini Yoga introspection courses at an Indian Vedic temple.
I have recently hosted workshops at
Stanford and U.K.T.I. initiatives (attended by C-suite from J.P. Morgan, Stanford, Kissinger Assoc, Apple et al). I have hosted senior members of the UK Cabinet, along with coaching clients from Fortune 100’s, and even, royalty. I have found living in London, Rome, NY, Sydney, LA, Frankfurt, and Palo Alto has played an important role in my education.
