Lee Chalmers is a London based Development Consultant. She is obsessed with people doing things better and developing themselves to be better people and better to the world. Better is a theme. Not more, better.

She works with individuals on their own lives through her coaching company Authentic Living, and with huge corporations through other consultancies such as Teleos Leadership Institute.

She is also lucky enough to be one of only 3 trained Getting Things Done coaches in the UK, working through Next Action Associates. Through this she helps executives find peace and meaning through having a tidy and empty mind (and desk).

As well as the day job, which she loves, she is also dedicated to the world being a better place for women. In 2004 she co-founded the Kingston Womens Network, now in it’s 6th year. In 2006 she made a documentary film on the future of Women,Visionary Dialogues, shown in the UK, Europe and the USA.

Her favourite creation to date, in 2008 she co-founded The Downing Street Project, an initiative to increase the representation of women in the world of politics, which has an active social network.

She is also a total technology geek, having read science fiction since she was about 8 years old. She is a Wired fan, loves mobile technology and has a collection of electronic gadgets where normal women would have shoes and handbags. Though people think it’s strange, she believe that out interaction with technology changes our state as human beings and she can see our evolution emerging from that.
