As a scientist, I’m interested in how we become our best selves. So I’m interested in human capacities such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, compassion, perseverance, and resilience.

We can use our capacities to change ourselves and the world. Psychology has given us better ways to see problems and assemble solutions. But these ideas are not widely known or understood. I want individuals and organizations to feel better and do better, by being more adaptive.

I believe that being more intentional with our mindsets can help. A mindset is a way of seeing and doing, based on a combination of values, beliefs, lenses, and habits of thinking and feeling.

I writing a book called Finding Courage to help inspire and empower other people.

Book cover for "Finding Courage: Mindsets for Personal and Collective Change"
