Speaking

Conversations that challenge, connect, and inspire action. #

I speak about science, democracy, learning, leadership, and collective action, with an emphasis on how we can practice the worlds we want to build together.

Whether I'm delivering a keynote, facilitating a conference session, or joining a panel, my goal is the same: helping audiences leave with new questions, new relationships, and new possibilities for action.
