    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.

    9 days to find a climate job

    Finding climate jobs, or groups of like minded professionals to network with, can be so challenging. But how do you get out of the networking slump, and build lasting, authentic connections that might support you in the long run? Our guest Daniel Gonzalez has become really good at both those things. Daniel is the founder of DJourneys, an organization helping build connection, mentorship and advocacy for talent working in the intersection of tech, climate and energy. He’s also a Climate Fellow at Cadence OneFive, a Climate Corps alum, and he holds a Masters in Environmental Management from the Yale School Of The Environment.  He’s an immigrant, a climate professional, and an expert relationship builder in the industry who had to call on his network in an emergency that left him with 9 days to find a new role - or leave the country. He’s been open and honest about his raw, real experiences going from low income Colombian immigrant to (one day) Climate CSO on his Linkedin. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    How a mentor can open doors, including ones you didn’t know existed

    We all have an idea of what mentorship is, but what does a really effective relationship look like in practice? How can mentors set up their mentees for success? Barbara dos Santos joins us to explain how she approaches these relationships with intentionality and generosity. She makes it a point to mentor people, and is driven to share career knowledge with those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. She shares tips for structuring successful relationships, drops some job-hunting gold, and tells a personal story about a mentor who changed her life. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Yesh and Daniel’s journeys to climate community

    It’s become clear to both hosts of Degrees that some of the most important things they can do in the climate fight are training people to work on climate and connecting people from all corners of that work together. That idea of scaling people and relationships as a climate solution was the heart of this season. In this special finale, they reflect on their own journeys as mentees and mentors, and what community and climate look like when they come together in the perfect mix.
