How to Seek Wonder in an Imperfect World
I know what it’s like to feel stuck in a world that moves too fast and asks us to break things instead of pause and marvel.
I’ve been an opera singer, a homicide investigator, a museum designer, and a CEO. Through it all, I’ve learned that wonder is the secret ingredient to a life that’s not just successful, but significant.
Now, as the author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller The Power of Wonder, a global keynote speaker, and entrepreneurial researcher, I help individuals and organizations rediscover the magic that fuels innovation, empathy, and true leadership.
