COUCH TO CARBON ZERO: Up your own ante and maximise your impact!
Up your own ante, claim your individual power and use it to scale your impact – through yourself and the leaders you work with – for the world.
We have all the answers. We know what we have to do. What the world needs now is ACTION. Every section of society – from individuals to business leaders – to step up and step up fast. It’s beginning to gather pace. And this space in between, is alive with possibility, calling our heads, our hearts and especially our feet.
But so many people feel they can’t make a difference as individuals… and in amongst busy lives, filled with work, kids, dogs and a million other things, stepping up to save the planet can all too easily slip off the list. Enter Couch to Carbon Zero – a 10 day sprint for busy people – designed to have people feeling confident and proud they’ve maximised their PERSONAL impact for the planet. Smart stuff, that goes beyond the obvious and moves good intention into (satisfying!) action. Large corporates and smaller organisations are absolutely loving it – signing up as a compelling, high energy way to bring their people along with them on the Race To Zero. And we’ll be telling you all about it, starting as always with ourselves as coaches and own personal impact.
Sonia Lakshman, Co-founder of Couch to Carbon Zero & Every One Of Us together with Lydia Stevens of Climate and Biodiversity Coaching will take us through a practical, high energy session. We’ll get a flavour of the sprint in real time, have stimulating breakouts to check in on our own personal carbon impact, and leave with a fresh, exciting new arrow in our climate influence armoury.
We’ll go on to look at the potential of how we can engage leaders from the ground up, getting past the usual obstacles that stand in our way, not least how to cross the threshold as coaches into active leaders ourselves.
Questions we’ll be asking of ourselves and answering together:
- What is your personal impact? What are your levers?
- How do you work with your clients in the urgent context of the world’s fragility?
- How do we role model our own actions with energy?
