…because we can't solve earth's most pressing issue without a healthy team.
In part 1 of my episode, with Executive Director & Author Eve Turow-Paul, we explore how having healthy people is crucial for organizations to innovatively tackle pressing threats of climate change.
Together, Jessy and Eve explore concepts from Eve’s book, "Hungry" and self-determination theory, relating them to her approach to leadership at Food for Climate League. Eve further elaborates on her transition from a “do the work” role in a startup environment to a leadership position that builds team, culture and processes. She shares strategies such as the Sustainable Self Initiative, highlighting the significance of self-care amid busy schedules, resource constraints, and the importance of normalizing breaks.
At the heart of Eve's leadership philosophy lies a profound belief in the power of thriving people and cultivating a workplace environment - truly propels the mission forward.
