Political Pod – SHAPING TOMORROW Playbook

SHAPING TOMORROW Playbook Step 5:  Amplifying Action

with DIANA COLLETT and RUBY CAMPBELL

SHAPING TOMORROW sessions supporting Playbook Circles: Recordings of these Playbook sessions are posted in the relevant Playbook Circle Facilitation Guide for each Step. We encourage Circles to begin each Step by watching the recording and choosing where they want to focus their discussions

In this session, we will explore how climate-aware coaching can create pivot points for change that expand way beyond their initial impact.  Public figures who speak with wisdom, insight and inclusivity create a lasting impact. Their words linger in the minds of their audiences and inspire greatness in others. Climate-aware coaching promotes deeper wisdom, clarity, and insight in public decision-making.

Step 5 – Amplifying Action is about recognising the ways that lasting influence can take hold when those in power resonate and respond well to the challenges of our times, instead of reacting to the incessant throng of lobbyists seeking to influence decisions for short-term or personal gain.

Ten years after the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, we are witnessing political backlash against actions for a sustainable future.

Where do we place our coaching efforts in this current context?

Taking a big picture perspective, we will look at:

•          The language, tools and concepts that expand beyond the individual
•         Ways to leverage local impact into wider action
•         Against the current storm of resistance – Why should coaches bother?
