Stephen Presley

Dr. Steve’s experience includes various technical, managerial, coaching, teaching, and meditation disciplines. He began his professional career as a space systems engineer and quickly moved into management. He then started the first ever Organizational Development group where he worked, including coaching managers, talent development, succession planning, and running the management and leadership training department. Given this new role, Steve embarked on a Ph.D. focused on adult development and leadership in complex environments. Steve began meditating to learn how to work with the mind. Fifteen years later, he’s studied with some of the planet’s finest meditation teachers (E.g., Dr. Dan Brown, Lama Alan Wallace, Lama Glenn Mullin, and Keith Dowman). As an adjunct professor at Chapman University, Steve teaches leadership theory and a course he developed called Leadership, Mindfulness, and Organizations.
