Hello! I found my way to the DEAL community after Googling "must-read books on . My Google search was inspired by my desire to do something beyond the scope of the Holistic certification I recently earned. I desperately desire to help fix a broken system rather than help others navigate and survive one. As a critical thinker, puzzle lover, and management enthusiast—reading Doughnut made me excited about finally having a framework that made saving the world more than just a fanciful dream. Having been in the service and marketing industry for much of my professional life—I've always been conflicted by my love for wonderfully made and curated things and what it took for those things to come to be. While I am great at connecting people and dots—I am currently looking into Environmental Studies undergraduate degrees and possibly an MPA or other advanced degree that will make me even more useful to this cause. I am particularly interested in  , , and . I'm itching to start, but I don't know exactly where and how. I'm hoping joining this community will help me find where I fit and can best contribute! A balance of being outside in and combing through would be ideal.

We are at an important time in history. Now more than ever, as we approach a tipping point of a climate catastrophe, the decisions we make - as individuals and as businesses - have an impact on our planet and those who inhabit it.  I relentlessly pursue a belief and vision that this can and will be reversed. To get to Net Zero we need creativity. Brands must be hyper-connected and deliver stories that are more thoughtful and constructive. Conversations about climate change and environmental wellbeing are often unnecessarily polarised and clouded by conflicting information and confusing stories. By understanding and empathising with our audiences, we can create campaigns and content that have a better chance of motivating positive behaviour change.  My role as a creative strategist is to consistently communicate the purpose of an organisation to its stakeholders with a dance between strategy, brand, design and marketing. From ideation to delivery to tracking and analysis, I remodel brands to leverage skills and resources for the protection of our planet and its people.

My name is Valérie M. Saintot. I am a lawyer (since 1994), doctoral supervisor (since 2022) with Gloucestershire University, adjunct professor (since 2021) with SKEMA business school, visiting lecturer at Bucerius Law School (since 2020) and Karlstad Business School (since 2023). I am also a certified mindfulness teacher (since 2005) and initiator of a mediation room at work (mindulness at work). I am an active member and ambassador for human-centric AI with the Liquid Legal Institute. I am member of a task force on AI in higher education with Z-Inspection. My studies and professional experience is at the crossroad of law, economics (20+ years as European central banker). At present I work on projecting the Doughnut Economics into Doughnut Law and Doughnut AI as the relation between human-artificial intelligence appear to me key to conceptualise. I build on analytical frameworks offered by mindfulness, neuropsychology, and philosophy. One side focus is my care to promote that citizens are informed and heard in relation to AI. I have developped with some peers a coaching format building on the Inner Development Goals to help promote the vision that the inner conditions of the leaders is key their decisions and societal impact.
