Is getting along with individuals or groups that we disagree with a skill that can be learned? This outcome of growth and understanding is boiled down to three important steps that can be learned, practiced, and implemented. Hanna is a principal at Fit Associates, which develops and spreads methods for growing healthy, system-wide creative culture, and then applies those methods to organizations in need of transformation. Her work blends design, personal development, and the arts to help people create and become the change they seek. This blend stems from involvement in community leadership in South Africa, design and consulting experience in the US, Europe and Africa, and a keen interest in inside-out social change. Hannah’s love for the creative process has manifested onto the stage where she presents, acts, and dances.
