Sustainability Leadership Skills Discussion Group

Hi @Everyone. Thank you for rich discussions today, and sharing some invitations too! Below summarises those raised:

Invitations:

1. Following on from Climate Fresk, we're hosting a Biodiversity Collage workshop 9:30-12:30 on 8th Jan. Everyone is welcome, and Change Agents get 50% off. Find out more and book here: Biodiversity Collage for Change Agents

2. Mireille is offering a Truth in 10 presentation on 20th/24th January. This came from Al Gore's Climate Reality Project - and I really recommend joining in. Mireille will share more information.

3. Luka invited networking around those working in Environment Officer jobs, and a few shared interest. Luka will share more but please do comment here if you're interested too.

4. Maddie asked if anyone knew folks working in mobility/smart cities as she has an opportunity for them.

Hi @Everyone, we hope you enjoyed the Greenwashing session today. For those that couldn't make it, or if you would like to listen again, the session recording is now available on the 'Summary Notes' section for the session. A few things to share from the session:

• Force of nature Force of Nature | Mobilising mindsets for climate action

• Info on Black Rock and greenwashing: We're taking action against investment company BlackRock for greenwashing | ClientEarth

• Cases of companies being charged for greenwashing: 10 Companies Called Out For Greenwashing | Earth.Org

• Information on offsetting (thank you to Maddie): Brief overview of SBTi's - Offsetting.pdf

Hopefully you've all been taking advantage of your 1-to-1 support sessions (which you can book here). I have an additional opportunity for a few of you, which is framed around coaching to support climate action.

I am looking to support up to 3 of you lovely change agents with a 1-to-1climate change coaching journey. This will involve going to a deeper level of action, exploring topics like values, purpose, scarcity, overwhelm in a creative, all-about-you safe setting. The journey will likely last 3-6 months, meeting around monthly - and we can decide this together at an introductory call where we discuss where you're at and whether this feels right for you.

This is for you if:

• You want to be your best, fulfilled self. This means we go beyond our jobs to who we are, and you want to bring your full self to that.

• You don't want advice, but…
