Summary

How Juliana bridges art, leadership, and social change between Argentina and Europe In this episode of the Social Regeneration Podcast, you get to meet my dear friend Juliana Salamone from Argentina, where we reflect on how our paths in sustainability have twisted, evolved, and sometimes collided. And how we supported each other on "finding our own way" and the practice of bringing social change to our local cultures. Juliana shares her personal journey from law school and consultancy work to embracing a more creative, human-centred approach through theatre and scriptwriting. We explore the differences between European and Latin American perspectives on sustainability, the challenges of adapting leadership tools across cultures, and the importance of keeping work joyful and authentic. We speak about identity crises and rediscovering purpose through art and community. We also discuss collective leadership, conscious action, and how trust and play can transform social change. This episode is a deep, heartfelt reminder that sustainability is not a straight line—it’s a creative, messy, and deeply human process. Juliana's story is a testimony that you can be a "sustainability leader" no matter your role in society, and social change can be brought forward through subtle practices that you bring to your community, where they may least expect it. 💡 HIGHLIGHTS of this Episode✨ Importance of joy, play, and storytelling in change-making✨ Bridging activism, consultancy, and creativity✨ Redefining success and what work looks like✨ Collective and conscious leadership✨ Sustainability as a cultural and emotional practice 👋 ABOUT Juliana Salamone (she/her)Juliana Salamone is a sustainability consultant from Argentina with a background in Law and Business Management from Universidad Católica Argentina and a Master’s degree in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola in Sweden.
