Meet Your Trainers!

Over 35 years of combined experience taking leaders from good to great.

Jamie Woolf
CEO, Creativity Partners
With over 20 years leading culture and learning functions, I'm passionate about building cutting edge cultures in which people feel safe to speak up.  As a coach and an organizational psychology practitioner, I'm committed to creating systems that elevate women and BIPOC leaders at that critical juncture where pipelines break. I was the first Director of Culture at Pixar, and for 20+ years, I've worked as an internal and external organizational consultant and coach across diverse industries.


Dr. Chris Bell
Chief Associate, Creativity Partners
For more than 15 years, I have been teaching and learning about rhetoric - the art of crafting a message. I am passionate about using that art to help others elevate their voices and amplify their influence, particularly women and people of color. I try to move past traditional ideas of "diversity training" into spaces where people don't just "feel" included, but actually are included. I was the first Director of Creative Inclusion at Skydance Animation and a tenured professor at the University of Colorado, and have been consulting across industries for 15+ years.
