Chris Arlen
I am unapologetically optimistic — I believe in people and what we can accomplish when we come together in good faith around a shared vision or goal. For nearly 30 years, I have worked in leadership and consultant the nonprofit and government sectors to push the boundaries of possibility, creating innovative programs and novel approaches that advance health promoting behaviors. I work towards fostering positive relational dynamics in increasingly diverse workplaces. I am passionate about the power of listening to break down barriers and connect us in our shared humanity.
