Susan Lorraine

Susan co-founded How We Thrive after a career that included serving as Executive Director of the Authentic Leadership in Action (ALIA) Institute, which convened systems thinkers and social innovators from across North America and Europe for over 14 years. She was keen to bring some of the learning from that experience home to Nova Scotia, in a way that honoured the wisdom already here. She continues to be engaged in How We Thrive’s many projects, with a particular interest in re-authoring narratives and shifting worldviews at the root of our current crises. She is a longtime student of Buddhism, a mother and grandmother.
