Anselm Dannecker
German by birth, accent and weird mannerisms; currently based in Somerville, MA with my wife.
I am a Fellow at the Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Collaboratory at HKS currently focussing on climate negotiations. Negotiation consulting and trainings on the side.
Interested in changing my interests about every other week: Currently, I cannot get enough of the history of negotiation (esp. sovereign debt negotiations) and behavioral neurosciences.
I am fascinated by hearing about the pathways of people especially when they are very far away from “home.” Love talking about Vanagons, remote life and cooking; hate talking about visa issues but tend to do it a lot. Since this year, I identify as a climber in the hope that I will keep at it if I truly believe in being one.
Elise J. Willer
Currently residing in the Green Mountains of Vermont… increasingly eager though to travel again.
Trained mediator, working as a consultant in negotiation, conflict and having tough conversations (with ourselves and with others).
Interested in building an intentionally diverse work portfolio both in activity (training, facilitating, mediating, coaching, etc.) and type of client (non-profit, for-profit domestic, int’l, gov’t, etc).
Intrigued by cultural difference and its impact on our behavior in moments of tension and conflict and yet regularly reminded (and amused) by how similar we actually are.
I love learning about people, particularly their passions and listening to them reflect on their raison d’être.
Stacy Lennon
I live in Carlisle, MA with spouse Dan, kids Gus (9) and Aoife (7), and pandemic puppy Pepper (1.75)
Currently I’m a lecturer on conflict resolution and leadership at Tufts University in graduate-level entrepreneurship programs
I’ve worked on international peacebuilding efforts (US-Iran) and led negotiation and difficult conversations sessions for NGOs/INGOs/IOs.
My degrees are in architecture & urban planning (MIT) and international relations (Fletcher)
After many years as a road warrior doing corporate workshops (including myriad Zoom sessions during Covid), I’m pausing much of my work to reassess what I’m doing and why
I love architectural design and CAD; decluttering & organizing hacks; dog rescue videos; personal finance; rowing on my ergometer; local politics
Joe Bubman
I live in Los Angeles with my wife Molly and 1-year-old daughter Coralai
I’m founder and Executive Director of Urban Rural Action, a national grassroots movement that brings together Americans across divides to tackle our country’s most urgent challenges.
Interested in U.S. peacebuilding and bridge-building leaders and organizations
Enjoys talking about dialogue, negotiation, and peacebuilding
Loves fun, friendly individual and team competition!
Josh Weiss, PhD
I live in Western, Mass with my wife, 3 daughters (21, 19, and 15), 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 tortoises
I am the co-founder, with William Ury, of the Global Negotiation Initiative at Harvard University and a Senior Fellow at the Harvard Negotiation Project.
I am also the Director and creator of the Master of Science degree in Leadership and Negotiation at Bay Path University.
I am the President of Negotiation Works, Inc. – a leadership, negotiation, and conflict resolution training and consulting firm
I received my Ph.D. from the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University in 2002.
I love teaching people constructive ways of dealing with their negotiations and conflicts and am trying to get this knowledge and skill to as many people as possible
I love to read, write, hike, play baseball and golf, go to the beach, kayak, and generally be outdoors with friends and family
Billy Ford
I'm on the Burma team at the U.S. Institute of Peace. I've worked on various elements of Burma's development for the past 10 years. At USIP, my work focuses on all sorts of peacebuilding-ish stuff - it really depends on what Burma is wrestling with at any particular moment, which is a lot right now.
My current work focuses on supporting various elements of the anti-coup resistance movement, including to local governance structures in liberated areas, various educational initiatives, and to this interesting new nation-building platform that also functions as a mechanism for building opposition unity.
Before USIP, I worked with Freedom House, The Asia Foundation, and a few other Burmese organizations. I lived in Burma for two years as Freedom House’s Country Representative and did stints in Vietnam and Malaysia before that.
I did a Master's in Public Policy at UC Berkeley (where my partner is about to start her PhD!), and my undergrad in Religious Studies from Hamilton College.
My non-Burma interests tend to meander, but I'm currently kinda interested in various elements of existential risk and the related policy challenges (highly recommend the 80,000 Hours Podcast!).

Joan Moon
An Atlanta native, currently living a nomadic lifestyle
I'm a negotiation coach, consultant, and trainer. I founded Moon Negotiation, LLC to help women navigate bias in a negotiation. I'm also a Negotiation & Conflict Resolution Collaboratory Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership where I was a founding coach, lead researcher, and continue to lead the Negotiation Coaching Clinic training students to be negotiation coaches. Previously I was a Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Women and Public Policy Program where I was the founding coach for the Career Negotiation Coaching Program and researched the effects of negotiation coaching on negotiation outcomes (but COVID disrupted all of that!).
Interested in all things gender equity and how to make negotiation training accessible to everyone, especially to those who have historically not had access.
Susan Borke
Currently based in Washington, DC
I am happy to travel depending on the opportunity, and I have experience teaching international audiences of professionals. Regrettably, I speak only English.
My focus is on helping people learn how to ask for what they want and get what they need with more success and less stress. I am an adjunct professor, I am a volunteer instructor with Negotiation Works (see Melissa Reinberg below), and I provide training in negotiation skills to organizations that want to improve their bottom lines and increase employee engagement.
Interested in improving my own communication and teaching skills because I love seeing the light go on in someone's eyes when they learn a new concept or technique and immediately see how they can use it to achieve their goals in a negotiation.
I enjoy a mix of social and individual activities. For example, I like engaging with friends in small social gatherings over food, games, or shared experiences (like going to the theater). I enjoy solitary pursuits such as knitting and reading. I love to travel and connect with people where I am visiting; I hope to connect with some of you in person that way.
