I work (and play!) at the intersection of community building, economic development, and systems change.

Services I offer

  • Interactive workshops of fewer than 30 people are my preferred method of connecting with people. I offer two exclusive opportunities in May and October in Vermont, and options to gather in Santa Fe, NM and Italy for this type of work. Reach out if you’d like to learn more.

  • I provide consulting services on democracy, systems design and engagement through Hearken. Reach out and indicate you are interested in working with me. I also offer a limited number of independent engagements per year. Get in touch and share more about your project.

  • I’ve spoken at hundreds of conferences and events, from keynoting Techfestival Copenhagen and speaking with students at Wharton Business School to TEDx and tech conferences. I’m represented by Gravity Speakers where you can learn more about my rates and topics. Or get in touch with me directly.
