Brett brings the mind of a strategist, the soul of an activist, and the savvy of a trained journalist to help people frame challenging issues and make change. I have seen him work his magic with the smallest NGOs and with large, established institutions. For me and others with long experience in public health, he has also been the best kind of teacher—kind, creative, adaptive and reminding us all of the incredible power of narrative to inspire action and reimagine the possible.
