From Pain to Purpose: My Journey to Change the World

A Legacy of Transformation

From a young age, I’ve felt a deep affinity for nature and an insatiable drive to change the world for the better. Witnessing the toll of stress and disconnection in my own family, I became determined to make a difference. At 16, I recognized the growing divide between humans and nature, a realization that took me to the remote Himalayas in search of harmony—for both people and the planet. The road has been bumpy, filled with lessons and setbacks, but each challenge shaped my purpose. Today, I share those lessons through my coaching, helping individuals and communities transform with clarity and purpose. Here are a few snapshots of my journey.

50 years and More

50 Years Later… My Mission is Still: "Changing the World, One Heart at a Time."

Over the past 50 years, I’ve had the privilege of transforming the lives of millions worldwide, from First Nations communities in Canada to Fortune 500 executives, rockstars, sports icons, and countless others. Together, we’ve formed a global tribe united by a shared passion for humanity, consciousness, the environment, and well-being. Guided by nature’s laws, I’ve brought the healing power of the natural world back into lives isolated by urbanization, from corporate boardrooms to family homes. This mission continues, now more vital than ever, as I work to change the world—one heart at a time.

Timeline

1980's

Shattered by Divorce – A New Beginning

My first divorce shattered my world, ending the first decade of my career in Southeast Asia as a specialist engineer and the pioneering work I led with Luhr Australia, an environmental air pollution control company I built to revolutionize air quality and leave a lasting impact on the planet. Through this heartbreak, I discovered the power of personal transformation, learning that even in our darkest moments, nature’s resilience can guide us to new beginnings. This experience inspired me to help others navigate their own challenges with clarity and purpose, planting the seeds for my future in coaching.

1990's

Walking Away – Finding My True Calling

After returning to university and completing a full-time MBA, I founded a consulting firm specializing in transformations for World Competitive Manufacturing. At the peak of its success, I sold the business to pursue a newfound passion for working with people in leadership, rather than businesses focused on profit. This bold decision taught me the importance of aligning with my true calling—a lesson I now share with clients, helping them discover their own inspired path rooted in nature’s wisdom. It marked the beginning of my journey toward holistic transformation, guiding others to change one aspect of their lives to transform all others.

2001

Everything Fell Apart – Rising from the Ashes

The collapse of the World Trade Center obliterated a $57 million, three-year investment. Just a week later, my Sydney home burnt to the ground, and our New York office was forced to close. Amidst this devastation, I found strength in nature’s cycles of renewal, learning to rebuild with a deeper sense of purpose. This resilience now shapes my coaching, empowering clients to overcome their own setbacks with grace, vision, and the understanding that even the greatest losses can lead to profound growth.

2010's

Breaking My Back – Rebuilding My Purpose

A seven-year battle with spinal surgeries broke my body, threatening my ability to walk and ending my Himalayan Adventure business after 25 years and 56 transformative trips to the Himalayas, while also limiting my global speaking career. Yet, from this pain emerged Chris Walker Consulting, a new chapter dedicated to life coaching, book writing, and one-on-one transformation. This period revealed the power of inner strength and the healing force of nature, lessons I now channel into the Walker Method to guide others toward lasting change.

2015

Facing the Unknown – Crafting the Walker Method

After years of global exploration and personal challenges, I faced the uncertainty of a new direction in my career. In this period of reflection, I developed the Walker Method—a seven-step process inspired by nature’s laws, designed to guide individuals toward holistic transformation. This framework, depicted as a Tree of Change, became the foundation of my coaching, empowering clients to achieve clarity, purpose, and lasting growth.
