Program Chair
Lee Capps is committed to a world where business works and people are fulfilled in their work.
Lee “grew up” in information technology and systems work with a process orientation. Blessed with a fairly balanced brain, he discovered that his true calling seemed to be on the human side of things – not just making technology work, but helping people work (and work together) more effectively. Going through organizational change as a leader prepared him for consulting in the human development arena – supporting organizations to shift self-limiting behaviors and outmoded mindsets to achieve results.
Learning and Practice Chair
Chris has devoted her life to the deep listening that underpins ‘what matters most’ in people’s lives. She’s passionately committed to cultivating exemplary leaders, collaborative teams, and engaged, thriving communities. As an experienced psychologist, teacher and leadership coach she’s known for creating trust with those who value her honesty, deep listening and commitment to their success.
When she’s not working, Chris is likely either making art, gardening, or at the aikido dojo where she practices and teaches the art of peace.
