Authentic Relating
in the Workplace

At work, it’s often not just ‘what‘ we’re doing that matters – it’s “how‘ we’re being as we’re doing it

The ‘what‘ can be learned by study and experience – yet the ‘how‘ is best learned in relationship

Course Leader

CHRISTOPHER GRAY

Christopher is a course leader of The ART of Being Human, Levels 1 & 2, as well as the Authentic Leadership Program (ALP). He’s spent 20 years in the software world as a leader in educational technology, most recently at Facebook. During that time, Christopher has also been doing extensive work supporting people struggling with alcoholism, substance abuse, and codependency. Since discovering and immersing himself in the practice of Authentic Relating, he’s transitioned to coaching and working with ART to bring this transformative, humanizing practice to the world. He teaches Bikram yoga, and, most importantly, is from New Jersey. 

Chris has been sober and active in recovery for quite a while. In addition to recovery from alcoholism, he continues to work with his own issues of codependency and other coping behaviors resulting from growing up in an semi-functional home. Having found Authentic Relating in 2015, he’s deepened his ability to express himself more fully in the world, his capacity to be with and receive others just as they are, and has discovered deeper compassion for those parts of himself that appear difficult, but are ultimately on his side.

What’s worked for Chris thus far in his recovery has been connecting with others, letting go of secrets and blame, repairing valued relationships, and continually seeking compassion for self and other.
