Want advice from three brilliant business leaders, all from very different fields, all of whom have been trailblazing when it comes to sustainability? One of the things I hear most often from business leaders is "Who’s already done this?" They want to hear from other leaders who’ve already trodden the path and can share their experiences and learnings. So I’m thrilled to have launched a series of fireside chats with Surrey Sustainable Business Network - this morning was the first one. In these conversations, I’ll be speaking to business leaders from across Surrey. I’ll be asking them to share their sustainability journey and their advice for other leaders. Today I had the pleasure of speaking with: Sebastian Elwell FPFS TEP founder of Switchfoot Wealth Limited Shelley Lawson founder of Frog Bikes Phillip Kalli MD of FILL REFILL CO 🔥 What an inspiring line up 🔥 I can’t share everything we talked about (you’ll have to wait for the video to be uploaded to YouTube) but here are five of my top takeaways: 🌟 FOCUS 🌟 Work out the thing you’re doing that causes the most harm or where you have the potential to do most good - focus on tackling that. 👯 COLLABORATE 👯 Find other people who are tackling a similar area in other industries and work with them. 🚴♂️ BE TENACIOUS 🚴♂️ Don’t accept no for an answer - be tenacious when suppliers say something can’t be done. 🔮 BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF 🔮 Imagine a nature-positive low-carbon future … does your business have a place in it? If not, work out what you’re going to do about that? 💡 ASK FOR HELP 💡Build a network of people who can help and support you - people who genuinely want to make a difference are very generous with their time and knowledge. Will you come along to the next one? We’re aiming for January - I’ll keep you posted with the sign up details… Massive shout out to Bex Bolland who took my “let’s do a series of fireside chats with local business leaders” comment and turned it into something real. And to Nick Brincat from the small green studio for being an audiovisual superstar! #surrey #sustainablebusiness #sustainability

The UN Global Compact… (reviewed) shows why Honest Government policies enacted by(yes by able competent policy makers with no ulterior motives) is vital-crucial to debates about climate change. The ceos & their boards(as evident today) cowered to rhetoric spew by special interests backed politicians, mislead many of their uninformed constituents where they all then engage in demonizing meager efforts to address this calamitous threat to all. With the ready echo chambers of #fuxnews (as biz model) Go figure!!! All of these brought to you by the prevaricating ceos & their boards, you see they paid the bribes, I mean campaign contributions with specific dictates to the recipient legislators who stand in opposition to quell any meaningful reasonable form of addressing any progress & protection to man, plant and animal and all other’s species… case in point the misdirection of disney v. desantis. Who do you think sponsors the likes of the later, now their presidential campaigns, the very elite & their corporate entities. They’ve been playing the public well before & now got a scotus align with their acts & in it for their shares(living the lifestyle of rich & able to pay, appearing before them; just call it “among friends” https://lnkd.in/exC9RKnX

I hope you'll join me, John Blasberg and Harry Morrison next week as we delve into the content of our newly released CEO guide! #sustainabilityleadership #climateaction

It’s been a busy time, really busy, on the speaking front, talking about not only themes on leadership, culture, and teams, but also on our relationship with the natual world. The two must go hand in hand of course, with ESG / CSR so prominent nowadays. There’s legislative pressure to operate in a more sustainable way, but pressure from punters as well, particularly the younger generation. This “double squeeze” is only a good thing. But (I’ve always thought anyway) that it’s important not to preach, not to lecture in the classic sense - everyone is balancing the pressures of life and trying to do the right thing after all - so it’s always nice to tell a tall tale or two, and raise a smile. That’s the oldest technology of all. Anyway, really enjoy these talks. A great privelage to be on stage, regaling all and sundry with tales of trying - with varying levels of success and failure - to be a global citizen in our changing world. #keynote #speaker #speech #stage #story #event #conference #audience
