Speaker Teacher Storyteller Facilitator
HI, I'M ZACH
I am obsessed with empowering people to communicate effectively and build relationships across divides.
I love thinking and teaching about depolarization,
DEI & allyship, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Zionism, antisemitism, board governance, and workplace respect.
I believe stories are the most powerful force in our world, and that's why I like to inspire and teach others how to tell their stories.
If you like any of these things too, maybe we should get in touch! I am always looking for opportunities to speak, write, learn, teach, and have interesting conversations.
