Nick Ross has been a leadership trainer and personal development coach for over 20 years.  Coming from a professional background in addictions therapy his work today includes delivery of extensive leadership development programs and executive coaching to global companies and senior leaders.
As Director of A Different Drum, Nick brings his love of writing, poetry, storytelling and the wild to his work with executives and senior teams, to address and reflect on the place of soul at work and specifically the role of creative sanctuary in supporting healthy human well-being. He is also a coach and companion to many individual leaders going through periods of significant transition in their personal and professional lives.
Nick has chosen to stop flying for work or pleasure in 2020 because of the climate emergency and with colleagues and partners is turning his attention towards finding ways to successfully engage businesses and organisations in constructive dialogue about the ecosystemic crisis.
Nick has a longstanding interest in the exploration of human consciousness.  He draws his inspiration from time spent learning from a variety of aboriginal cultures and influential mentors including Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Parker Palmer and Robert Monroe.

Welcome back to Leading in a Climate changed World, where, we return to our interviews from before the coronavirus lockdown.
In this episode, we talk about the climate crisis with Ed Gillespie and discuss striking the right balance between hopefulness and hopelessness, and the best way to avoid overwhelming humanity into doing nothing.
Robin asks about the people and organisations showing the courage that might inspire us at this time, and whether B-Corps and business round-tables are just window dressing or are genuinely inspiring sustainable change.
Ed talks about his travels, and the communities he encountered, including tribes which have scarcely changed their way of life, for the last hundreds of years and reveals a number of initiatives, which might just help us onto the right path.
If you haven't already, do listen to Ed's podcast with Jon Richardson and Mark Stevenson: https://jonandthefuturenauts.podbean.com/

In this episode, we speak to Dr Sally Uren - Chief Executive of Forum for the Future (https://www.forumforthefuture.org/).
Robin and Sally discuss the work of Forum for the Future and the principal challenges they encounter, within the organisations that they work with. They discuss how we can use the coronavirus pandemic as a dress rehearsal to address the challenges of the climate crisis, including the processes we need to keep and the type of leadership required to successfully engage with each issue.
They talk about structural inequality and how economic reform is where focus need to be made in order to make progress with long-term sustainable solutions.
Enjoy the podcast!
