Clear, steady conversations in complex spaces.
We are living in complicated times.
Relationships are strained. Civic systems feel fragile. Conversations fracture quickly.
I am interested in what helps us stay - in dialogue, in community, in responsibility - when it would be easier to retreat.
My work explores the skills required to be fully human in public and private life: clear communication, accountability, self-reflection, and the courage to remain in relationship when things get hard.
Through essays and keynote talks, I create spaces where individuals and groups can think more deeply about how we build communities that can hold complexity.
