GuestPhoebe Hanson is a climate and social justice activist and the Chief Operating Officer of Force of Nature, a youth-led start-up which empowers Gen Z to step up, rather than shut down, in the face of the climate crisis.OverviewI was honoured to be able to sit down with Phoebe to find out how she creates a culture of hope when working in an anxiety inducing field. She truly does embed activism and sustainability in every facet of her life, always striving to do the best for our people and planet, and encouraging others to do the same.TakeawayPhoebe and the team she cares for are not only empowering one another to be their best selves in and outside of work but they're also supporting global community of young people.93% of employees say that acting on climate at work is important to their personal sense of motivation and wellbeing. We all need to do more to ensure we're allowing this hugely important issue to form part of our work, as individuals and as teams.Hearing the ways the Force of Nature team are freeing themselves from traditional work place restrictions really is eye opening, from providing transparency around everyones salary to speaking truthfully about their wellbeing. Their website states that they advise business leaders and challenge business-as-usual and I feel Phoebe put that across perfectly during our conversation. They truly are a team of young trailblazers.LinksFind out more about what they're doing and how you can get involved in their work, helping young people turn eco-anxiety into action and driving intergenerational solutions with business leaders.
