I am a retired U.S. diplomat and assumed leadership of the U.S. Department of State’s Center of Excellence in Foreign Affairs Resilience in October 2016. Our goal is to create a supportive inspired and nimble work force that will formulate and implement more creative and effective diplomatic solutions to further U.S. foreign policy goals. We specialize in resilience education and training, adapting resilience research for practical use, and providing resilience support to individuals and organizations.
