I see organizations with long-term strategy challenges, as well as internal communication problems, especially in regional institutions.

I see challenges in institutions and their leadership, which translate into too much work that threatens people's emotional health.

I see Latin American civil society and I have two big questions for it: How can the impact of our work be measured and increased?
