Great!Now let's see a Daily Press Briefing everyday of the week, a traveling press with the Secretary, & get DOS officials to follow your social media rules of self-identifying as such in their official accounts, & not/not use their personal accounts when speaking for USG. Thanks
When we honestly engage people around the world we are more likely to find fair solutions to shared problems and less likely to go to war.
The tactics of responding to a crisis are important, but that is why you need to build mid-tier leadership you can trust. Your effectiveness will be limited if you chase the crisis, or chase the story.
In the end, yr tenure will be judged by your ability to help the US accumulate influence. Does your program build trust/credence to US officials specifically, & US culture overall, or does it undermine it? What you say, your posture and vision will be crucial to defining success.
The honor of a lifetime! Today I was sworn in as Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs. I'm looking forward to all we're going to accomplish! pic.twitter.com/ItpJoaB8SA
Since your work experience is in "branding," tell us, how to you plan to rebrand the U.S. under  Trump? He has gutted our international reputation, alienated allies, and generally appalled thinking people across the globe.
