We’ve seen business from every angle.

Leadership, sales, people, operations, strategy and growth. Most consultants know one part of a business. Between us, we’ve worked across all of it. We’ve led sales teams, trained leaders, run operations and built businesses of our own.

So we don’t see your business one piece at a time. We see how it all connects, and we know where to look when something isn’t working.

Mark Hodgson

Founder

Mark has spent his career helping businesses, and the people in them, perform at their best.

It started at McDonald’s, where over 12 years he was often sent to regional Australia to help franchisees open new stores and train their teams. In 2005 he moved into travel and rose to national leadership at one of Australia’s largest travel companies, overseeing 150+ stores and $500 million+ in sales, before leading its in-house home lending business.

In 2019 he founded Mind & Body Travel on a simple idea: plan the holiday you need, not just the one you want. Growing it fast taught him first-hand that success can come at a cost. Today, through Mind & Body Group, he helps owners and leaders make the most of their time away, and of their team’s time together.

Steve Demedio

Director

Steve has spent his career helping people learn fast and lead well.

He started in recruitment, sales and retail management, then spent years with one of Australia’s largest travel companies, running stores, turning struggling ones around and moving into area management. From there he became a leadership trainer and sales coach, developing leaders, facilitators and coaches in-house and, later, for external businesses.

He has facilitated sustainability programs for a Big Four firm, and during COVID trained large groups of new call centre staff at speed on a government contract. Today, as a director of Mind & Body Group alongside his long-time friend Mark, he designs and facilitates the retreats, offsites and programs that bring teams together.
