There comes a point where
what used to work… doesn’t anymore.
The roles, the success, the strategies. You’ve done all of it.
And still, something feels off.
That’s where my work begins.
Who I am
I’m Mark J. Platten: Air Force officer, educator, and creative leadership strategist.
For over three decades, I’ve worked across military service, higher education, and international development, helping individuals and organizations navigate complexity, leadership, and change.
The Shift
Over time, I saw a deeper pattern. The problem wasn’t strategy, it was alignment. People were achieving on the outside while feeling disconnected on the inside.
My work now focuses on helping people reconnect to themselves, their relationships, and their sense of purpose. I achieve t through men’s work, generational programs, and initiatives like The Soul Tank.
