Social proof: testimonials

“There is a significant gap between our commitments and actions, and there is a significant gap between senior executives and people on the ground doing the operational work. That is why there is a need for critical thinking and embedding ESG throughout the entirety of organizations. A core component of that is having people within organizations develop the courage and purposeful leadership to ask those questions and flag any issues as they emerge.”

It took me two years, my constant reflection is how could we bring people to this awakening faster model from systems thinking is on my mind. How could we affect the level of beliefs? As you influence the deep level of beliefs. Small changes in beliefs can make big changes everywhere else.”
