Lucy Cummings
Lucy’s fifteen years of senior-level work experience -- including directing market services for a Taiwanese computer company, lecturing in international politics at the University of Hong Kong, and chairing a UK environmental charity -- have convinced her that the basics of effective communication transcend cultural and disciplinary divides. For her, this is empowering news. We can all benefit from continuing to strengthen our communication skills, regardless of our background, native language, or position.
Having authored numerous publications, Lucy specializes in working with people to improve their written communications. She believes strongly that even the most polished writers among us have plenty of room for improvement. She is tremendously inspired by her facilitation work and never leaves a session without learning something about how to improve her own writing.
Lucy earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Virginia, a master's in religious ethics from Yale University, and a Ph.D. in international relations from Johns Hopkins University. A Mandarin Chinese speaker, she lived in Hong Kong for 14 years before moving to London where she currently resides with her husband and two daughters.
