Jim Daniell, COO, Oxfam America
1. Why Boston?
2. What’s the one word to describe how people will feel after leaving your New Co session?
Amazed
3. On a scale of 1 to 10, how weird are you and why?
I’d go with Z. I have a dark and twisted side that keeps me sane.
4. What movie, no matter how many times you’ve seen it, do you have to watch when it’s on?
The Princess Bride. There are so many memorable one-liners.
5. In the past few months, what is the smallest change you made that had the biggest positive result?
I stopped nagging my teenage son about his homework and he just started doing it with a corresponding rise in grades. Go figure.
6. If you could have a beer with anyone (dead or alive) who would it be?
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, of course.
7. What’s your spirit animal?
I am clearly a dog as there is not a tennis ball in the world that I will not chase. Squirrels, not so much.
