I am a…

Bio

Did a TED talk in 2015, about the collaborative work to reduce violence in Boston by 79% (over 8 yrs) and 29 months of zero juvenile homicides. Have a podcast, "The Courage to Listen", that addresses the larger lessons learned in this process, and a book of the same name coming soon...

I'm passionate about

Going deeper to build true community

An idea worth spreading

Having the courage to listen first rather than hypothesize and test

Areas of expertise
