The antidote to social disintegration and humanity’s challenges lie upon the integrity of individuals - how we choose to BE

In partnership with others, and collaborations between, science, technology and philosophy, Ashkan is in discovery of the fundamental fragments of reality, their underlying principles and relationships, articulating and communicating complexities, and supporting others to master the art of sense-making and transformation in pursuit of well-being.

Philosopher and Author

Ashkan’s philosophical insights challenge us to radically question how we make sense of the world and navigate social disintegration. He empowers individuals to create their own narratives by deconstructing their understanding of themselves, the world, and existence. This enables them to choose their own paths rather than follow imposed ideologies. His body of work illuminates the shadow parts of ourselves, helping us make more effective decisions and fulfil our intentions.

Creator of the Being Framework

Ashkan’s body of work extends to a wide range of domains and industries. One area that has attracted significant attention is understanding what drives human decisions and behaviour at a deeper level, which in turn impacts our performance, effectiveness, and leadership. This line of enquiry resulted in his creation of the Being Framework, which has now been adopted by people in 53 countries, where Ashkan offers a structured approach to personal and professional development, guiding individuals towards their full potential.

Parallel Entrepreneur, Technologist and Investor

Ashkan believes in bringing deep and critical thinking to address real-world issues rather than purely intellectualising them. He sees entrepreneurship as a central path to achieve this. Through his venture building firm, Engenesis Ventures, he educates, invests in and builds companies, and manages a portfolio of growing startups. He is also extending his body of work to practical applications in the economy.

BECOMING, The Emergence of Being

BECOMING – The Emergence of Being follows the unravelling of Yoren Healy's seemingly brilliant life. Beneath this lies a profound and relatable struggle—a battle with feelings of being lost and unfulfilled, despite the trappings of success. As he embarks on a journey of exploration with the support of his coach, you’ll discover the reasons behind his unfulfillment, from his upbringing and family heritage to his perception of societal expectations and how he relates to the world, others and himself. By following Yoren's captivating story, through both the light and shadow sides of himself, you'll experience a fresh perspective grounded in Ashkan’s body of work.

To date, there have been four stages of the economy, dating back to the time when we lived in caves and relied on nature for all our resources. We are now living in the fourth stage – the digital era – and we have access to almost anything we desire, no matter where we are 24/7. Although we are still digesting the fourth stage of the economy, we are already heading towards the next.

As human beings, our Moods are the first layer through which we project who we are to the world. In this article, I explain how our Moods, particularly vulnerability, anxiety, fear and care, are profoundly connected to the way we participate in life, individually and collectively. It also explains why the highest achieving leaders in the world are willing to be misunderstood and even judged for sticking to their guns and being true to themselves and their vision.
