Be Seen Living Change w/ Andrea Learned (video available)

In episode 193, I connect with Andrea Learned for a chat about her new Living Change Podcast, “A Quest for Climate Leadership,” through sharing the experiences and practices of those who might be called surprising validators. Set aside the tendency to name and shame, which rarely delivers desired results, for the much more effective naming and "faming", calling attention to those leaders and individuals conspicuously living change. This podcast is truly all about the enthusiastic, hopeful, and fun stories of professionals using their work or business ventures to help shift the social norms around “leadership” in the Climate Crisis age, so tune in and enjoy the conversation with Andrea Learned.Thank you so much for tuning in!
