Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
I believe that working on intersecting crises, on so-called wicked problems, is the order of the day, and as in most things, the very interlocking of our crises gives me hope for confronting them with courage and vision.
In this transformative moment, how do we make sense of what’s happening? Even more importantly, what can we do to help steer change toward a more desirable future?

I believe that hope has a crucial role in healing, and in driving our engagement in effecting the deep transformation we need.
