    70. Focusing on Progress

    We need to prioritize making some progress all the time, rather than waiting for a perfect opportunity or big win, when it comes to implementing sustainable improvements in our businesses. Alycia covers: mindset, some ideas of what counts, how to give yourself credit, and why it's so important to recognize when you're focused on making small progress instead of waiting for perfection.

    69. What's Stopping You?

    This week is a little break to reflect on some "Hard Truths with Alycia." All event sustainability professionals have the same lessons. Our solutions are harmonized and straight forward - the question is, why do we keep repeating ourselves? If everyone has hard the same 10 straight forward solutions but they are not in effect a majority of the time there must be another element holding the whole industry back...

    67. Growth Mindset for Success

    The best tool for staying on top of a hard tasks, like with Sustainability, to make a big impact is a Growth Mindset. Basically, it is a mental framework for approaching life that helps reduce the impact of "failure" and "difficulty" by remembering and understanding that failure is inevitable but also a learning opportunity. Challenges are growth prompts that help you get better. And when working on the Progress over Perfection view on Sustainability employing a Growth Mindset means you're already prepared when you run into tougher fixes or scenarios that simply can't be sustainable this time. I also cover the avalanche of "internet experts" making you feel incompetitant, insufficient, or like you're screwing it up... IGNORE THEM. That adrenalin and cortisol does not help you learn about sustainability, it does not make you better, and it has no place in your Growth Mindset. I give you full permission to ignore the fear mongering, guilt-pushing, and whatever else is stressing you on social, as long as you are Doing the Best You Can With the Tools You Have.

    66. Employing "Nudges"

    In this episode, I talk about using psychology and behavioral economics to influence your sustainability outcomes at your events. I use meal choices as my example for how preset selections can influenced your attendees do what you're hoping they will do. I explain how “nudges” can guide attendees toward more sustainable options. I reference the book Thinking Fast and Slow; the research of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky; and site Freakonomics and Choiceology podcasts for further insights into consumer behavior.
