On this second day of Peace Week, I’d enough you to do something small today, but something that could be out of your comfort range: say hello to a stranger, offer to help someone you don’t know well, or try to change a behavior of yours that might need to be reexamined (like, maybe smiling more and frowning less!). Because of recent Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, there are many opportunities to make a small difference in a big way!
I am a career coach, consultant, and head of a not for profit - the Forage Center - that offers humanitarian education training. I also teach at George Mason University and Drexel University. A one time lawyer, I spent many years teaching in a community college where I was a Fulbright U.S. Scholar teaching in Estonia. I'm the author of Peace Jobs: A Student's Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace (IAP 2016). I've been married to my best friend for over 31 years and we have two well adjusted adult children who teach me something new everyday. I live in Rockville, Maryland.
