To Lead Workshop at Smith
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.-Smith College and

Organizational theorist, social thinker and award-winning author

Science," Wheatley will lead a discussion of her new book
"Turning to One Another: Simple Conversations to Restore
Hope to the Future."

as the means to develop solutions for the societal and organizational
