  1. ÉPISODE 1

    Pivoting to a climate job with LinkedIn’s Green Economy Lead

    What can you do when you know you want a job in sustainability, but have no idea how to get there? When Nidhi Kaul graduated college, the pathway to her ideal career felt murky. Unsure of how to find the right job, she spent several years in consulting, developing skills and learning her strengths. After finding her way to a job in product management at LinkedIn, she joined an internal group at the company dedicated to sustainability. Her connection with that group ended up leading to her dream opportunity: now she is the Green Economy Lead at LinkedIn, and her whole job is helping others find green gigs. Along the way, Nidhi learned that conversations with others about their own pathways to green jobs can yield rich wisdom – and give a confidence boost.

    A regenerative approach to networking with Drew Wilkinson (Founder of The Climate Leadership Collective)

    We form a lot of different kinds of relationships in our careers. Some are transactional, and others are more personal. Drew Wilkinson, founder of the Climate Leadership Collective, makes the case that understanding the various natures of these relationships – and fostering as many as possible – can help both individuals and the planet. After working his way from musician to the leader of Microsoft’s employee sustainability community, Drew now works as a consultant. He helps others grow the social ecosystems that will help us all thrive.  Resources:  If you’re looking for a climate community, this list is a great place to start: https://www.climatedraft.org/resourcesHere are some of the communities Drew has been tapping into: Work on Climate: https://workonclimate.org/about-us/Project Drawdown: https://drawdown.org/aboutEmployee Climate Action Network: https://employeeclimateaction.network/You can learn more about Drew on his website: https://www.drewwilkinson.earth/And LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmartinwilkinson/The punk rock song you heard was Destroy All Calendars from Drew’s band, Run with The Hunted.
