Al Lee draws on a rich palate of skills when it comes to helping individuals and organizations achieve their best performance. Individuals discover how to clarify and quantify their goals, and how taking more control over their health and wellness, their mental, physical, and creative performance, as well as their emotional intelligence, can dramatically accelerate their ability to achieve. Organizations learn how to apply the principles of iterative development to organizational architectures, process improvement and their unique set of circumstances to improve communications, quality, productivity, moral, and create an environment that sustains and lifts its most valuable resource – its people.

Extensive experience at all levels of the organization – as an engineer, manager, executive, board member, consultant, client, and coach - provide Al with a special awareness, understanding, and perspective of the issues that hold individuals and organizations back from their highest levels of performance. Al’s unique background spans the demanding  pressure-cooker of  high-tech engineering, the intensity of cutting-edge start-ups, the challenges of organization architecture and trouble shooting, the focused intention of martial arts, the creativity of music, and the regenerative power and insights of yoga, Qi Gong, and meditation.

In addition to creating success stories within Fortune 500 companies, startups, and non-profits, Al has coached and conducted seminars in goal achievement, life/work planning, performance improvement, stress management, and wellness. He holds a degree in Electrical Engineering, a 4th degree black belt in traditional Okinawan karate, is an accomplished speaker and is the author of the book “Perfect Breathing – Transform Your Life One Breath at a Time.” He is the president of the ALS Association of Oregon & SW Washington, the president-elect of the National Speakers Association (Oregon chapter), and is a volunteer musician for the Children’s Cancer Society’s Music Rx program.
