Awaken Consulting & Training Services Ltd. works in collaboration with organisations to facilitate growth, development and change with the aim of awakening greater possibilities and choice. The organisation was set up in 2003, having emerged out of Lisa Wake's corporate portfolio and NLP training experience as a consultant since 1997. 

After starting her career in NHS clinical practice as a nurse, Lisa moved into NHS management in 1992, where she was employed as a Senior Manager until she left to commence her own shared business in 1997. Using NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) as a launch pad, Lisa has developed extensive experience as a Coach, Facilitator, Change Agent, Trainer, Supervisor and Mentor. Trained by both AND and INLPTA as a Trainer of NLP, and accredited by the UKCP as a neurolinguistic psychotherapist, Lisa continues to work with Organisations as diverse as the Home Office, Fox's Biscuits, Napp Pharmaceuticals, NHS Modernisation Agency, Higher Education Funding Council for England, Northern Foods Group,  Keepmoat PLC, Tilda, Macmillan Education Unit as well as NHS and Local Authority organisations. In 2007, Lisa was awarded the status of Master Trainer of NLP, in recognition of her many contributions to the field, including writing and developing NLP concepts.

Originally Mark read chemistry at university, before embarking on a career in chemical manufacturing. Over the next 16 years, he moved from Process Operator, through Shift Chemist to Production Manager and finally Planning Manager. In 2001 he set up his own consultancy business working as a Mentor, Coach, Trainer and consultant developing individuals and teams. Together with his wife Lisa, they set up Awaken Consulting & Training Services Ltd. to bring together their wide experience in different fields to provide tailored solutions to business needs.
