The global climate emergency demands bolder leadership. Climate influence catalyst, Andrea Learned, is on a campaign to help leaders get louder, and prouder, about how their personal values influence their work and drive climate impact. “Living Change” weaves an engaging narrative of Andrea’s personal experiences with interviews with change makers around the world. From mayors and legislators across North America, to an Emmy-winning writer/producer, a globally recognized radio DJ, and a consumer goods CFO, these folks tell inspirational stories of climate impact in their industries. By amplifying the progress of those (few) leaders who are on this path, Andrea aims to improve leadership social norms and create positive impact in the process.
