Every parent's deepest wish is that their children are self sufficient, happy, and able to live a full life.

The world does not need a better definition of issues, or better planning or project management. It needs the issues and the plans to have more of an impact, which is the promise of engagement.

Questions draw us together. Answers push us apart.

We must act as if our institutions are ours to create, our learning is ours to define, our leadership we seek is ours to become.
