ABOUT BONNIE TOLAND
Culture Strategy . Design . Storytelling
Bonnie Toland is an expert observer. She notices the subtleties that shape and connect cultures. She translates ideas, perspectives, and observations into stories that bridge diverse audiences. Bonnie possesses a powerful combination of a presenter, teacher, writer, and visual communicator. With intense curiosity, she explores both traditional and nontraditional modes of inquiry. She knows the power of anecdote and prefers a conversation over a survey. Like breathing, she finds new ways of seeing and inspires buy-in, ownership, and consensus.
