Events I'll be organizing, speaking at or just soaking up.
I have helped change conversations about adoption, architecture, the arts, business, community organizing, design, education, exploration, fishing, fundraising, health care, hospice, leadership, neuroconservation, non-profits, oceans, parenting, plastic pollution, real estate, recreation, sea turtles, slow food, surfing, technology, travel, urban planning, water, well-being and wildfire for good. (Whew!)
Venues have included TED, Aspen Institute, United Nations, Greater Washington DC Board of Trade, various TV network news and radio shows, The Royal Geographical Society, Explorers Club, Fortune 500 companies, international conferences, and dozens of universities and goverment agencies.
How can I help upgrade, expand, and reframe your conversation?
