“Shit is fucked and we need to deal with it. We can’t carry on with it.”
This episode is a plea for behavioural change and personal responsibility. It is about the power of grassroot action, and personal agency.
Laura Cope is a Proactive Agent for Change, with clear connection to her sword with which she cuts out bullshit.
Laura is the founder of UYO (Use Your Own), a ProActivist cafe guide to reduce single use serviceware in cafes, as well as Takeaway Throwaways, an initiative to promote legislative changes.
Laura takes a bold stand for grassroot level solutionising: Taking action to solve the problems rather than talking about them. With a clear awareness of the bigger picture and the systemic problems we are facing, she appeals to the power of seemingly little actions by every woman. Taking responsibility on a personal level is not a concept. Laura shares and shows by living it how it goes to take a radical stand for what matters.
Join this radically alive conversation for an invitation to connect with what you love unconditionally, and then go and take a radical stand for it.
Besides Laura's clarity, integrity and humor, I particularly enjoy how Laura represents and models an intrinsic feminine approach of communicating and networking. There is so much power in that.
"We need to dissolve the apathy of feeling disempowered. (...) Change is possible. Anyone has an opportunity to use their voice."
