Keywords: Leading with Moral Authority

I want to help my community and others like it be better, stronger, more prosperous, more connected, more real. I want to help neighbors reconnect with each other, find their common cause and go after it together. I want to help local governments, small businesses, non-profits and and public service organizations develop strategies and models that encourage a clear and strong community identity, one that attracts positive energy, and provides opportunities for all members to not just survive but to thrive, to grow, to prosper, and to dream about a future where their children can do even better than they did.

Unlike […] younger equivalents of a shackled Katherine, adult me could continue to push for what I wanted

As a teenager and young adult, I wanted to be a writer [but] it became apparent that I did not have the dedication or talent to become a published author
