On this episode of Navigating Forward, Lisa Thee from Launch Consulting sits down with Jamie Fiore Higgins, author and ex-Goldman Sachs Managing Director. They discuss how company culture — and the differences between the version espoused by leadership and the actual version that employees experience — can impact both employee engagement and innovation. They touch on how having a vision isn't enough because it takes leadership curiosity to ensure it's being followed in practice. The pair also chats about some of the topics from Jamie's book, Bully Market, including how marginalization is hiding right in plain sight most of the time.

Understanding the challenges and complexities posed by climate evolution can be daunting.
In this episode on the podcast,  our guest Ashoke Mohanraj is a sustainability advocate and book author who is a Top25U25 Environmentalist from Canada.
He's an individual who isn't afraid to navigate the gray areas of complex issues surrounding sustainability, and helps guide us beyond the typical views on climate change.

Our conversation takes a deep dive into Ashoke's personal motivation, rooted in his Sri Lankan heritage, and that part of the world facing the wrath of climate deterioration. We take a full circle on the importance of inclusivity in climate conversations, revealing how to strike a balance between enjoying life and still advocating for the planet. It's not merely about eco-friendliness,  but bringing diverse perspectives to the table to truly understand sustainability- thereby breaking barriers.

Here are some chapter highlights from this conversation :
- Sustainability and Climate Change Exploration
- Importance of Inclusivity in Climate Talks
- Navigating the Path to Environmental Activism
- Why environmental advocacy is for young men as well( Ashoke's book "Pollinator Man")
-Paths to Success in Sustainable Living

As we go further along, Ashoke shares his path from being one of the few people of color in environmental activism to his experiences representing at the UN - a journey that is as inspiring as it is enlightening. He also provides valuable advice for those looking to get into environmental activism. Ashoke recently celebrated the one year anniversary of his best selling book Pollinator Man, where he portrays a masculine super hero at the center of environmental conservation - a resource that every child can learn from and do their part to make our daily lives better.

The importance of keeping an open mind and the willingness to pivot when necessary is emphasized well by our guest. Ashoke's passion for creating a sustainable future is contagious, via his books and visual media/TV projects he's currently involved in and it's our sincere hope that every listener, every citizen in this planet can draw inspiration to do more in preserving our planet ! Stay tuned for his next book and future projects. A not to miss co

Increasingly we are hearing about organisations considering their social responsibility, or sustainability, to achieve this they consider their ESG rating. But what is it? In this episode, we have a guest James Lewry, Director of Social Risks who is an expert in ESG. James has been working for the past 20 years for Control Risks and is responsible for their (Environmental, Social, Governance) strategic framework. With organisations such as Enron or the Lehman Brothers being found guilty of unethical practices such as fraud and contributing to the economic crisis of 2008, ESG seems to be a reactionary result to the ever-changing world and the need for increased social responsibility and sustainability. Attitudes and standards across all sectors of society have to be met at all three levels to survive. What does ESG offer and how does Psychology help? In this episode, James and Amanda are being interviewed by Tim.

We talk a lot about accessibility and inclusion in higher ed, but often the focus is on traditional students and in-person learning. What actions are we taking to make online learning spaces a  place where adult students feel safe to share and learn? Recent graduate of the Communication Management program, Joshua David Murphy Esqueda, who identifies as LBGTQIAS2+, discusses how their experience in the program highlighted ways online courses can allow for better representation and inclusion. Joshua and I also discuss modifications that can be made to online course delivery and the impacts of those modifications would have on all students - not just those from underrepresented identities.
