Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
I help people who don't know each other and often don't even like each other solve complex problems together--and help others develop their capacity to do the same. As a managing member of CoCreative, I've helped start and build collaborations working on a range of challenges like: * Aligning bank lending with climate needs in Europe and North America * Co-designing an international human rights measurement system * Advancing climate-positive agriculture globally * Advancing inclusive community wealth-building * Shifting the upstream determinants of health * Building a more culturally-grounded and integrated child welfare system in Hawai'i * Dismantling structural racism in the U.S. health system * Closing racial and economic gaps in education and workforce opportunity CoCreative's quest is to continue to grow our impact five times faster than we grow our firm, so we freely share all of our tools, models, and methods. We also offer training on collaborative systems change, leveraging differences to drive systems innovation, and advanced facilitation of multistakeholder collaboration. In my guest faculty roles, I also teach workshops and graduate courses on multi-stakeholder collaboration and complex systems change. Please contact me through www.WeAreCoCreative.com.
Horizons of Change explores diverse aspects of a dialogic and highly experiential approach to systemic change—one that prioritizes meaning-making, emergence, and shared transformation over diagnosis and control. https://horizonsofchange.substack.com/p/dialogic-systems-change

CoCreative helps people who don't know each other and often don't like each other solve complex societal problems together. If you're a passionate leader and critical thinker who wants to catalyze transformation in complex systems, we can help. You can also visit our website, where we freely share the models, methods, and tools we've developed and use in our work.

I serve on the advisory team for Fathom, a Zoom app that automatically (and quickly) transcribes your Zoom meetings and summarizes themes, insights, and action steps. The transcript automatically attributes all the text to speakers by name and my notes are linked to the right spot in the transcript. Oh, and right now it's free so you can't beat that.
