Eureka! 💡 The pursuit of purpose in the climate space is a journey close to my heart, guiding me to align the projects I work on for a more profound impact, focusing on innovation, DEI and sustainable project.

Let's delve into key insights and advice from a yesterday’s discussion with Fátima Sani from TOMRA ( ex Google ) and Ulrikke Lien the CEO and founder of Sensorita, a trailblazing tech company revolutionizing the measurement of waste management using sensors. The discussion was led by the inspiring Verineia Codrean from Women and Climate (I highly recommend following the organization).

🚀 Embarking on Your Career: The realm of climate and sustainability is expansive, and your background is your unique asset. Whether you hail from business, technology, or any field, your distinct perspective holds immense value.

🤝 The Power of Attitude: Flexibility, a deep understanding of consumer behavior, and a willingness to challenge conventions are paramount. Empathy is our secret weapon. When we bring new team members on board, we seek the right attitude and outlook.

🤝 Building Allyship: Collaboration is the cornerstone. Preparing for meetings, amplifying each other's voices, and forging strong alliances are key. Remember, you don't have to go in it alone.

🚪 Opening New Horizons: It's incredible how innovation can transform even the most "unsexy" topics, like waste management. Sometimes, all we need is that initial spark. Pragmatism and strategic thinking are our allies.

The climate sector isn't merely a career path; it's an opportunity to effect positive change on our planet regardless of your background 🌎
