Mark C. Crowley
Mark C. Crowley was Senior Vice President at Washington Mutual, one of the country’s largest financial institutions where he led investment product sales nationwide. After leading his division to all-time record performance in 2008, he was named Leader of the Year. A natural leader fresh out of college, Mark C. Crowley gave little conscious thought to his leadership practices. With little formal training on how to effectively motivate human performance in the workplace, he operated from instinct. And those instincts always seemed to work effectively elevating whichever team he was leading. During the first decade of his career, Mr. Crowley built a track record of leading myriad teams to exceptional performance. In his mid-twenties, he successfully launched and managed one of the banking industry’s first direct response centers. Immediately after, he led sales management at one of the nation’s largest thrifts. Regardless of his assignment, it became evident that his intuition-based leadership practices consistently inspired employees to uncommon engagement, commitment and achievement. Upon closer examination, Mr. Crowley came to realize that certain childhood experiences had influenced him to be more sensitive to the needs of employees and, specifically, what would help them thrive and excel. And workers scaled mountains for him simply because they could feel he was someone who genuinely cared about them, and made consistent and varied efforts to express that to them directly. Tied to his own 25 years of leadership experience, and supported by remarkable new research and scientific discoveries, Mr. Crowley has proved that leadership which acknowledges the humanity – the hearts – of workers is a truly transformational and abundant model. Translating what he learned to do instinctively, he shows us the practices of leading from the heart – and how to become an exceptional leader in the 21st century. Mark C. Crowley is a graduate of the University of California, San Diego, in addition to the Pacific Coast Banking School at the University of Washington. He holds five investment securities licenses (Finra Registrations) and also is a licensed California Real Estate Broker. Born and raised in Garden City, New York, he now lives in La Jolla, California with his wife and son. He’s a devoted fan of Van Morrison, great books and the San Diego Padres. View Guest page

Hosted by Carolyn Coker Ross, MD, MPH
[Download MP3] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
How do we put together the pieces of the past? How can we rewrite our life story? Our lives may be less determined by our past traumas than by the way in which we remember them. Healing and transformation depend first on listening to the body’s story without words, then visualizing and rewriting one’s own new life story. If we learn how to re-frame the pieces of our past and rewrite our life story so that our pain becomes meaningful, we can radically boost our chances of healing, empowerment, growth and transformation. Join award-winning playwright and screenwriter Catherine Ann Jones ("Touched by an Angel") in this unique exploration into the power of story to heal and transform.

She is Board certified in both Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine and completed a 2 year fellowship at Dr. Andrew Weil’s Program in Integrative Medicine at The University of Arizona. While she graduated from one of the most prestigious medical schools in the US, she quickly learned that conventional medicine was not able to address the majority of her patient’s day to day issues. What she learned from her patients and from facing her own health crisis, changed the way she practiced medicine and expanded her understanding of what it takes to awaken your full healing potential and move from the curative paradigm of western medicine to the belief in the body’s self-healing capacity and the possibility of a life of vitality and wholeness.
Dr. Ross works with numerous individuals to help them attain their full potential on her speaking tours, in teleseminars and webinars and now on The Vital Life. Through her knowledge and use of the best of both eastern and western medicine, she helps individuals heal on the deepest level, reconnect to their true self and learn to restore and maintain vitality and joy in their lives.
“Dr. Carolyn Ross is a pioneer in the use of Integrative Medicine and through her compassion and understanding shows us that transformation and healing at the deepest level are possible.” Andrew Weil, MD
