Lewis Dabney
Lewis offers his clients more than twenty-five years of national and global conflict resolution experience, forty years of contemplative practice, and a lifetime of formal and informal coaching. His philosophy is grounded in presence and the deep non-judgmental listening honed in mediation. He is an unshockable peacemaker for his clients, whether in challenging work dynamics, inner struggles, or their dispute-resolution needs. Lewis facilitates the emergence of inter-relational humanity for a collaborative world.
Lewis views leadership as an emergent quality to be supported at every level from self-realization through communal collaboration and onward in ripples of realization and activation. He has the capacity to soften hard challenges and make them easier to metabolize, while hardening and concretizing more amorphous issues to make them easier to grapple with. As a high-support high-challenge coach, he helps clients to look clearly and fearlessly at the issues they most need to deal with, while supporting their needs.
