AUTHORS’ BIOGRAPHY

JOEL LEVEY, PH.D., and MICHELLE LEVEY, M.A., have devoted their lives to intensive study and research of extra-ordinary human potential. Over the past thirty years they have been fortunate to study and practice with many of the greatest contemplative teachers of our times, and with many of the most respected researchers of human potential, mind sciences, and holistic medicine. Many of their mentors have encouraged them to teach what they have learned and they have translated their research and contemplative practice into active service with hundreds of organizations, businesses, medical centers, and communities around the globe.

Joel and Michelle are founders of InnerWork Technologies, Inc., a Seattle-based firm that specializes in developing and renewing organizational cultures in which life-work balance, high-performance teamwork, and resilient inspired leadership can thrive. They are chairpersons for the Center for Corporate Culture & Organizational Health, and founders of the International Center for Contemplative Inquiry on the Big Island of Hawaii. Their clients include NASA, World Bank, Intel, Boeing, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, Intuit, SRI, Advanced Technologies Laboratories, and Qualcomm. West Point logisticians described their pioneering training programs for the U.S. Army Special Forces as, “the most exquisite orchestration of human technology we have ever seen.” The Leveys have directed clinical mindbody programs at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound and at Children’s Hospital in Seattle, and have served as faculty at Antioch University, Bastyr University, International Center for Organization Design, World Business Academy, and the Indian Institute of Management.
