Supporting personal resilience in concert with action empowerment to holistically address the climate crisis is my passion. As a state or national director for 20 years, I worked in 50 states and federally to build diverse coalitions, empower activists and lead adoption of nationally precedent-setting environment and public health legislation, regulation and incentive-based programs in the United States. Focusing now on the role of our internal condition in supporting transformative social change, current projects include: (1) Integrating MIT’s Theory U: Awareness-based Systems Change into sustainability approaches, (2) Leading Sustainable Leadership to Thrive to equally support personal and planetary thriving, (3) Supporting sustainability systems thinking across coursework, culture and alumni at Harvard University and others, and, (4) Collaborating internationally on tools for informed public action on the UN’s interrelated Sustainable Development Goals (gender, poverty, climate, and more) via Sulitest.org. I've received NGO, city and state awards, and had fun becoming a Guinness Book of World Records record holder with my godson.• Proven ability to identify common goals and build effective coalitions across diverse interests, and to respond nimbly to changing technological, political, financial and strategic landscapes • Successfully mentored and trained local, state and national leaders to consider full systems and develop strategically-designed issue campaigns• Spokesperson and lead negotiator for state and national environmental initiatives
