We’re teaming up with DC Climate Week to activate anyone who’s had a climate action idea simmering on the back burner for far too long. Today is the day to take that first step toward making it real.
Whether you’re already running with your idea and looking for collaborators, or you have a challenge you’d like to tackle with others—this session is for you. No idea is too small or too ambitious, whether it’s planting 100 trees in your neighborhood or launching a startup to tackle industrial decarbonization.
As many in the region navigate career transitions, a side project and a network of like-minded peers can be the spark that keeps you moving forward—especially when it’s in service of the causes that matter most to you.
To drive real climate action in the workplace, we must first listen deeply—not just to what is said, but to what is left unsaid. This interactive session will introduce deep listening (also called reflective listening) as a critical, transferable workforce skill that helps employees influence decision-making, foster commitment to climate goals, and navigate complex workplace dynamics.
