Ascendia Wellness Group Launches: Revolutionising Executive Wellbeing for Peak Performance

Where executive wellbeing meets peak performance, integrating physical vitality, wellbeing, emotional resilience, and strategic leadership for sustainable organisational success.

From Mental Health Advocacy to Executive Wellbeing: Glenn Marsden's Evolution

As the founder of the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, Glenn Marsden has spent years demonstrating a deep understanding of mental wellbeing advocacy and community building. Now, while continuing to lead IPC's vital mission, Marsden is expanding into the corporate wellbeing space through his latest venture, Ascendia Wellness Group - a natural evolution of his commitment to destigmatise challenges and promote authentic conversations about wellness.

Marsden's extensive experience with the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign provides invaluable insights into the real challenges leaders face when dealing with pressure, perfectionism, and the often-hidden struggles of executive responsibility. This background ensures that his approach to corporate wellness remains grounded in authenticity and practical application rather than theoretical concepts.

"Through IPC, I've seen first-hand how challenges affect people at every level, including executives who often feel they can't show vulnerability or seek help," explains Marsden. "Ascendia bridges that gap by bringing the same authentic, stigma-free approach to the corporate space."

Introducing Ascendia Wellness Group

Founded in early 2025 by directors Dan Mansour, Glenn Marsden, and Daryl Kelly, Ascendia Wellness Group was born from a clear gap in the market: executive wellbeing designed at the standard leaders operate at.

While Ascendia itself is new, the expertise behind it is far from novice. Collectively, the founding team brings over six decades of experience in mindset, performance, wellbeing, and human optimisation, having worked with individuals, leaders, and communities across all levels.

Now, they've united that experience under one premium umbrella to serve CEOs, C-suite executives, and high-performing teams who need solutions that understand the complexity of their roles and the intensity of their decision-making environment.

Mission and Integrated Approach

Ascendia's mission centres on helping leaders thrive under pressure, strengthen resilience, and build sustainable success through an integrated approach that combines:

• Mindset optimisation - Developing mental frameworks for peak performance

• Mental health support - Providing professional psychological wellness resources rooted in authentic advocacy

• Nutrition guidance - Tailoring dietary strategies for executive demands

• Lifestyle integration - Balancing personal wellbeing with professional excellence

• Corporate wellness programs - Scaling individual success to organisational transformation

The Premium Difference

What sets Ascendia apart in the crowded wellness market is their specific focus on the executive experience, informed by real-world wellbeing advocacy. Rather than offering generic wellness solutions, the company develops tailored strategies that acknowledge the unique challenges of leadership roles - from high-stakes decision making to the isolation that often accompanies executive positions.

The integrated model ensures that physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and strategic leadership capabilities are developed in harmony, creating sustainable performance improvements rather than short-term fixes.

Marsden's continued work with the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign ensures that Ascendia's approach remains connected to authentic advocacy, bringing a level of understanding about pressure and perfectionism that purely corporate-focused wellness companies often miss.

Building on Proven Success

The transition from community advocacy to corporate wellbeing represents more than just market expansion - it's about taking proven methodologies for breaking down stigma and building resilience, and applying them where they're desperately needed: in boardrooms and executive suites.

"The same pressures that affect individuals in our communities affect leaders in organisations," notes Marsden. "The difference is that executive stress has a ripple effect throughout entire companies. By supporting leaders authentically, we're ultimately supporting everyone they lead."

Looking Forward

As organisations increasingly recognise the critical link between executive wellbeing and overall business performance, Ascendia Wellness Group is positioned to lead this transformation. Their comprehensive approach, grounded in authentic wellbeing advocacy, addresses not just individual executive needs, but extends to building resilient, high-performing teams and sustainable organisational cultures.

For leaders ready to elevate their performance while maintaining their wellbeing, or organisations seeking to invest in their executive teams' long-term success, Ascendia Wellness Group offers a new standard in corporate wellness - one built on the foundation of genuine wellbeing advocacy and community building.

About Ascendia Wellness Group

Founded in early 2025 by Dan Mansour, Glenn Marsden, and Daryl Kelly, Ascendia Wellness Group specialises in executive wellbeing solutions that integrate physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and strategic leadership development. With over 60 years of combined experience in mindset, performance, wellbeing, and human optimisation, the company serves CEOs, C-suite executives, and high-performing teams seeking sustainable success.

Glenn Marsden continues as founder of the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign while expanding into corporate wellbeing through Ascendia.

You might remember David Chokachi from the global phenomenon Baywatch, the show that turned him into a household name and landed him on People magazine’s coveted list of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World.”

He’s built an impressive legacy across film and television, starring in thrillers, dramas, and surf-inspired series, with recent appearances in Shark Warning, Vanished, and the upcoming Married Alive.

Whether organising beach cleanups with his daughter, flying shelter animals to safety with Wings of Rescue, or stepping into disaster zones to help families evacuate and rebuild after wildfires, David shows up where it matters most.

On screen or in service, David’s mission is unmistakable: to create impact, lead with heart, and use his platform for something bigger than himself.

Rethinking Corporate Wellbeing: It’s Time to Go Back to Basics

The Traditional Approach: A Thing of the Past

In the past, corporate wellbeing often revolved around surface-level initiatives: a yoga class here, a motivational speaker there. While well-intentioned, these programs frequently failed to address the root causes of employee disengagement and burnout. The question arises: are these efforts truly making a difference?

The Current State: A Wake-Up Call

Recent statistics paint a concerning picture:

• Mental Health Challenges: Approximately 1 in 6 employees experience mental health issues in the workplace, leading to significant absenteeism and decreased productivity.

• Financial Implications: Poor mental wellbeing costs UK employers an estimated £42 billion to £45 billion annually through presenteeism, sickness absence, and staff turnover.

• Return on Investment: For every £1 spent on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of their workforce, employers get, on average, about £4.70 back in increased productivity.

These figures highlight a pressing need for a more effective and sustainable approach to employee wellbeing.

Our Approach: Human Connection at Its Core

Here, we recognise that true wellbeing stems from authentic human connections and a supportive work environment. Our approach is grounded in the following principles:

• Psychological Safety: Creating an environment where employees feel safe to express themselves without fear of judgment or retribution.

• SMART Communication: Implementing clear, empathetic, and effective communication strategies to foster understanding and collaboration.

• Stress Management: Equipping teams with tools and techniques to manage stress proactively, enhancing resilience and performance.

• Values-Driven Collaboration: Aligning team objectives with core organizational values to promote a sense of purpose and cohesion.

Feedback from participants in our programs consistently highlights improvements in team dynamics, stress management, and overall workplace culture.

The Bottom Line: A Strategic Imperative

Investing in genuine employee wellbeing is not merely a moral obligation but a strategic business decision. Organizations that prioritize authentic wellbeing initiatives experience:

• Increased Productivity: Employees who feel supported are more engaged and motivated, leading to higher output.

• Reduced Turnover: A positive work environment fosters loyalty, decreasing recruitment and training costs.

• Enhanced Reputation: Companies known for their commitment to employee wellbeing attract top talent and retain valuable staff.

The landscape of corporate wellbeing is evolving, and with the imperfectly perfect campaign and our corporate wellbeing workshops, we are at the forefront of this transformation. By focusing on human connection and addressing the root causes of disengagement, we are helping organisations build healthier, more productive workplaces.

Mental Health Is Not a Brand, It’s a Battle Some Are Still Fighting Silently.

You’ve seen the posts.

The hashtags.
The “check in on your mates” captions.
The curated vulnerability followed by perfectly filtered smiles.

Mental health has finally entered the mainstream conversation, and while that’s progress, we can’t ignore the flip side:

It’s also becoming a brand.
A talking point.
A trend.

But for many…
It’s not a caption.
It’s a daily battle behind closed doors.

While some are hashtagging #MentalHealthAwareness, others are just trying to get out of bed.

While some are posting polished reels on resilience, others are silently drowning, with no camera, no audience, and no “likes” to validate their pain.

This isn’t to shame those who are speaking up.
We need awareness. We need more conversation.
But what we don’t need is performance over presence.

Because behind every “I’m fine” is often a story that hasn’t been safe to tell yet. And behind every person championing others is often someone who’s had to crawl through their own darkness, without applause, without algorithms, and without anyone even noticing.

Let’s not forget the people who:

– Check in on others but rarely get checked on
– Keep showing up to work, parenting, caregiving, leading, even while breaking
– Post nothing because their energy is spent simply surviving

Mental health isn’t linear. And it’s not always visible.

So before we post about awareness, ask:
- Am I really available for what someone might say if they told me the truth?
- Am I creating space — not just content?

- Am I checking in, even when there’s no World Mental Health Day hashtag trending?

Because true advocacy means staying in the conversation when the spotlight moves on.

At the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, we don’t do performative.
We do people.
We share the real, the raw, the rarely spoken, because that’s what makes others feel less alone.

To anyone still fighting silently, we see you.

And to anyone with a platform:
Use it for truth, not trends.
