wonder more, know less
Wonder more is how I approach life, work and expression. Wonder more is about exploring the lives of people across the world -- the
challenges they face, the societies they live in, their ability to shape political, economic and social events.
Wonder more, know less reflects my commitment and passion to keep an open mind, open ears, and open eyes to the world around
us and introduce the resulting insights into public dialogue. In short, engaged curiosity.
Common people often have uncommon insights. This approach to public discourse and policy making – be it at the local, national or
international levels – is an antidote to the expert approach that leaves the majority of those affected out of the decision making loop.
Policies and public decisions have stronger, broader support when time is taken to listen more closely, ask more questions, and
incorporate relevant ideas into those actions.
I have worked in nascent and mature democracies from the United States, to Asia and throughout Eastern Europe and the Balkans. I
work to assist citizens, local officials, and national leaders create practical ways for different groups in these countries to
communicate – through both formal and informal processes. These collaborations and partnerships help build the democratic
systems to which the people of these nations aspire.
