I strive for having biodiversity and environmental aspects included as part of decision-making. Not as an add-on, but as an intrinsic part. The big question is, how? My idea is that perhaps the doughnut model could be used as a decision-making tool. So, this is what I am working towards. With a background as both a biologists (MSc) and Master in Business Administration, I hope to enhance systemic thinking and view all trade-offs in order to make better informed decisions.

Brighton and Hove, England, United Kingdom

 I am an independent consultant, working to design and facilitate learning and strategy processes with people working for social change, whether that's activists,  researchers, people working in service delivery, NGOs, governments, or foundations.  I work internationally, with a focus on climate change and an increasing emphasis on systems approaches.  Out of work, I am an activist, a school governor, a parent, a sea swimmer and a proud resident of Brighton and Hove in the UK.   I want to work more in my local community and see DEAL as a way of combining professional experience with my passion for helping Brighton deliver on its climate and social justice commitments.    In my work, I use a range of tools and approaches to help people think deeply and strategically about their work and to catalyse change.   I love using drawing and play to help explore the big stuff and bring in systems perspectives.   I work across sectors, spanning boundaries and sharing insights and approaches between them.  Recent qualifications that seem relevant here:   Circularity Thinking:  Train the trainer from Climate KIC,  I am trained in facilitation processes to support businesses and organisations to think through how they shift toward being more circular.     Spark: Systems Facilitation,  from the School of Systems Change, course exploring the role and practice of facilitation in systems change.  Lewis Deep Democracy - approach to leaning into and working effectively with conflict and disagreement.  For more info, check out my linked in.   Look forward to connecting with some inspiring people!

Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, United States

I am a former CEO of a private company manufacturing capital goods for the steel industry.  While I have lived and benefitted from the growth mindset, since retiring I have been searching for a movement that can start to change the way our society works. My focus had been on politics but every where I looked at political movements I saw such firmly entrenched opposition to change that I could not see a way to start change that could be successful.  After reading "Donought Economics" my eyes were opened to the possibility of focusing on economic change with the many small ways that grass roots efforts could make change develop from the bottom up. I still believe that political change is necessary but with an economic movement developing momentum political change may become inevitable.
