Passionate Conflict Resolution Professional
I am a(n):
Director at MetaCulture | Conflict Management Consultant | Mediator | Facilitator | Researcher | Speaker With Over 25 Years of Experience | Experienced Teacher in Critical & Creative Thinking | Founder of Meta–Culture | Founder of Public Intelligence Project | Recipient of the Outstanding Leadership Award of the International Committee of the Association | Actively Involved in the Peacebuilding Community | CBI Global Network Member | Member of The Board of the New England Association of Conflict Resolution | Founding Member of the Community Company Dialogue Facilitators Forum of ACCESS
I am the go-to for:
broadening people's understanding of the civic crisis and equipping them with the conceptual tools to address it.
What I do:
Three decades in communication design, critical and creative thinking, cross-cultural communication, diversity and conflict management has lead me to a frightening realization: That without individual autonomy, critical thinking, and the ability to collaborate despite competing interests and conflicting values, co-existence is impossible. Democracy is a vital- if very imperfect and vulnerable- system that provides the space and the boundaries for human beings to co-exist with basic dignity and opportunity. It is not a panacea and doesn't solve all problems. However, in today's world, the alternatives are frightening.
