When the Plan Changes Shape

🎙️ Episode Summary A short update on how a project changed shape after taking part in the Energiomstillerne program by cCHANGE. I went in with a plan to build a coalition connected to this podcast. I came out with a different approach. Not a new intention, but a shift in how to move forward. This episode is about: Letting go of the idea of building something from scratch Paying attention to where energy and momentum already exist Returning to a book project I had put aside Exploring the human side of the energy transition I also share reflections on Life After Oil, a UK-based initiative creating space for people transitioning out of oil and gas. 🔗 Links Energiomstillerne (cCHANGE):https://www.cchange.no/pages/energiomstillerne Earlier episode with Dina Hestad from cCHANGE: https://vklavenes.substack.com/p/what-norways-energy-transition-needs-537 Life After Oil:https://lifeafteroil.net/ Website:https://storiesforthefuture.com Substack:https://vklavenes.substack.com 💬 If this resonates, I’d really like to hear from you.

Not Rowing. Rafting. What This Season Is Really About

Before diving into more guests and technologies, I wanted to pause and ask: What do I actually want this season to do? In this short solo episode, I share: Why collaboration in the energy transition is often misunderstood Why it’s less like rowing in sync — and more like rafting What this season will focus on And how the podcast will evolve going forward The energy transition doesn’t just need better technology. It needs better conversations. 🌊 Read the Substack Post I recently wrote about the difference between rowing and rafting — and why real collaboration doesn’t mean moving in perfect sync. 👉 Not Rowing. Rafting. https://vklavenes.substack.com/p/not-rowing-rafting What’s Coming This Season Monthly deep dives into concrete energy solutions Conversations across difference (not debates) Short reflections on leadership, complexity, and mindset Occasional spotlights on people working at the intersection of inner development and outer impact If this season works, I hope we become a little less certain — and a little more capable of building something together.

Monthly Deep Dive: Geothermal Energy – Potential, Limits, and What’s Changing

Geothermal energy is often described as a stable, low-emission energy source. Yet in countries like Norway, it rarely features in public conversations about the energy transition. In this episode of Stories for the Future, I sit down with Stian Engebretsen, Product Manager at Aspen Technology and a long-time geothermal enthusiast, to explore what geothermal energy actually is, how it works, and why it deserves closer attention. We talk about: What geothermal energy is. The difference between traditional geothermal and newer technologies like enhanced geothermal systems. What is happening in Norway today. And what is holding geothermal back. How advances in modelling, simulation, and drilling technology are changing what’s possible. Who should be paying attention to geothermal. From engineers and energy professionals to policymakers and curious outsiders. - This episode is the first monthly deep dive of the season. A format designed to slow down, go deeper, and build shared understanding across different perspectives in the energy transition.

Get Off the Fence: Leadership Lessons for a Warming World, with Charlie Sheppard

🎙️ Episode: Get Off the Fence – Leadership Lessons for a Warming World What happens when leadership replaces drama with disciplined choice? This week, I sit down with Charles Sheppard — author, professor of leadership, and founder of World Bridge University — to explore how systems thinking can help us move from confusion to clarity in the face of climate change. Charlie has spent decades helping people and organizations escape the Drama Triangle — the cycle of Victim, Rescuer, and Adversary — and replace it with The Leadership Triangle: Visionary, Catalyst, and Coach. Now he’s applying that same framework to the climate crisis. We talk about why so many people still sit on the fence, how disinformation and social media shape our beliefs, and what it means to lead — in our families, workplaces, and communities — when the stakes couldn’t be higher. 💬 In this episode: Why leadership and systems thinking are key to tackling the climate crisis How to reach the “middle 60%” who still sit on the fence The role of language, storytelling, and education in climate communication What we can learn from his new venture, World Bridge University How AI (and even biotech!) fit into his vision for a better future 🌍 About Charles Sheppard Charles Sheppard is a Professor of Leadership, author of Get Off the Fence and Save Your Drama for Your Mama, and founder of World Bridge University. He’s also the cofounder of Arjuna Therapeutics, a biotech company developing breakthrough cancer treatments — and a passionate advocate for systems thinking, education reform, and climate leadership. 🪴 Connect with Charles Website Book: Get Off the Fence – Amazon LinkedIn World Bridge University Arjuna Therapeutics 🌟 If you enjoyed this episode Please share it with a friend or colleague who’s ready to get off the fence.
