“We will never have more choices than we do today” LOVED this urgent dialogue described by Courtney Holm in my latest podcast episode about her work transforming leadership mindsets! Key learnings: 1️⃣ Every climate conversation is a negotiation. 2️⃣ You can’t go into these conversations, looking to change people’s minds, if you don’t understand where they are on their journey. You have to start by understanding what matters to them. 3️⃣ ”Commercialising the science” - a key part of making the business case for sustainability. 4️⃣ Build trust: make sure they know that you know what your stuff is. Be… Emotive. Imaginative. Honest. Transparent. Consistent. Authentic. Vulnerable. Flexible. (This advice feels especially relevant after reading EdenLab’s latest report that shows that the number 1 activity dominating the typical workweeks of sustainability leaders is “influencing others to take action”.) I’ve listened back to this episode and it almost feels like a fantastic coaching session for any sustainability professional looking to drive change in sustainability - wish I had this at the start of my journey in this space! 🌱✨ Listen to the episode via the link in the comments. And if anyone has any other resources about building and developing negotiation skills please do share them below!!
Really love learning #1 - every climate conversation is a negotiation!
Really enjoyed listening, thanks for sharing 🙏🏻🩷
Sarah Humphrys thank you for such an engaging dialogue! Working to operationalise sustainability in a process, hoping the insights we shared can lead to scaled impact at pace.
Cannot wait to listen to the new episode, I get so much out of them.
