Le cannet

Based on the observation that the deployment of change is always restricted by the lack of adherence to and cooperation of employees, I put all my experience (15 years of entrepreneurship, 25 years in purchasing, 20 years of management) in extremely varied fields (E-commerce, industry, startups, technology, construction, entrepreneurship) at the service of the deployment of CSR at the very heart of the teams, a guarantee of success and acceleration. I am convinced that action is needed now, quickly, to face the challenges of climate, biodiversity but also societal challenges.

Hey y'all! I'm Misty, a long time activist / organizer based in metro-Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I'm a part of a coalition called the Life Reimagined Collaborative and we are creating the Game of Life Reimagined. Life Reimagined is a cooperative story-telling board game that parodies of the original game of Life. Players build a collective vision of a just and sustainable world on the timeline of the climate clock, because we're the only ones who can save us now. We are using Doughnut Economics as a board model in the game and would love to work with you to make this game happen! We want it to be a fun and useful tool for everyday people to learn, practice, and take action, doing what it takes to win. You can check out our short explainer post on instagram here, our longer pitch deck here, and you are invited to our coalition interest zoom meeting (register here) for the game on Thursday, February 13th, 2025, 8-9:30pm EST (New York City time). We are happy to meet with you one on one to discuss as this time doesn't work for all! Thanks for all you do to make a difference! Power to the People! [coalition zoom.jpg] [ ]
