Autumn Peltier: Indigenous water & rights activism

June 27, 2023 16:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MB

It's become crystal clear that we need to change our approach to tackling the climate crisis, to work in collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, Nations and knowledge keepers. As historic stewards of nature, they have rich insights, expertise, and perspectives to share about how we might move forward. But that doesn't just mean collaborating with Indigenous elders or scientists. We also need to listen to and learn from Indigenous youth who will be the stewards of the future. That's why I'm s...

Norm Connolly: Leadership strategies from the front lines of climate change

April 19, 2023 23:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

Municipalities are ground zero for tackling climate change, especially when it comes to adaptation. They're well positioned to take direct action to do things like build infrastructure and create new policies. However, they're also the level of government typically operating with the tightest fiscal constraints and most demands in terms of serving a diverse constituency.  So what does it take to be able to lead the kind of transformative change we need in such a challenging environment? Th...

Abid Saifee: Leading climate action while doing good business

April 19, 2023 23:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MB

Climate action leadership isn't limited to governments and scientists. We need all hands on deck if we want to avoid the catastrophic effects of climate change today and in the future. But what does climate action look like for people not on the frontlines, like those who work in areas as diverse as finance, health care or software as a service? That's what we're going to find out today in my conversation with Abid Saifee. He's the Senior Director of Product Management for ecomedes, a cl...

Tamsin Lyle: Leading new approaches to engineering for climate adaptation

April 19, 2023 23:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MB

We often think of engineers as simply technical experts when it comes to tackling issues like flood management from climate change. But early in her career, Tamsin Lyle realized that she'd have to grow her leadership skillset and change the way she approached her engineering work if she wanted to have a real impact. That inspired her to start her own consulting company, ebbwater, and build a new kind of approach to climate action leadership that blends technical skills with so-called "soft...

Sowmya Balendiran: A seaweed solution to climate change

April 19, 2023 23:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MB

When it comes to climate innovation, North Americans are often guilty of assuming that we do it best. But we forget that the most powerful innovation is driven by need, creativity and constraints. These are some of the key contributors to the success of Sea6 Energy, an Indian company co-founded and led by Sowmya Balendiran to develop breakthrough solutions to key global problems. Over the last decade, Sea6 has revolutionized tropical seaweed farming on the ocean through its patented soluti...

Margot Hurlbert: Exploring the power of interdisciplinary climate leadership

April 19, 2023 23:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

Most leaders know by now that a "business as usual" approach won't work if we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change. We need expertise from across sectors, cultures, continents and disciplines to be able to resolve the kinds of wicked problems we now face. But figuring out how to do that kind of interdisciplinary, intersectional work, particularly in a Western, largely patriarchal society, grounded in somewhat risk-averse institutions, requires a major shift in our processes, s...

Claire Atkin: Defunding disinformation at the Check My Ads Institute

April 13, 2023 20:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

When you buy a digital ad through something like Google, it usually gets placed on a website. But you don't get to choose which websites it goes on. Who does? The ad tech industry. Which is not a problem, until you discover that they're running your ad for your precious brand on a site that promotes disinformation, racism, hate or even treason.  So how do you stop that from happening? That's what Claire Atkin and her partner Nandini Jammi are trying to figure out, through their work at thei...

Mark Smith: Inside the journey to scale a blue carbon industry

March 27, 2023 16:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MB

It's one thing to take on the challenge of bringing an innovative product to market. But figuring out how to build an entirely new industry requires next-level vision, creativity and passion.  Mark Smith brings all of that and more to his role as the President and CEO of the Pacific Seaweed Industry Association. He and his tiny team are working with growers, manufacturers, distributors and governments – including First Nations – to scale seaweed production across Canada. And they're doing i...

Deljit Bains: Re-inventing health promotion for South Asian communities

February 03, 2023 23:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MB

When Deljit Bains stepped into her new role to lead the South Asian Health Institute in British Columbia, she knew she had a big challenge ahead of her - trying to find ways to improve health outcomes for the huge South Asian population there, which had really high rates of chronic disease. A nice neat plan had already been developed for her, where she was supposed to find volunteers to go into the community to do things like educate people, give flu shots and run exercise programs. But ...

Vivian Forssman: Disrupting higher ed to build climate change adaptation capacity

January 13, 2023 22:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MB

We wouldn't expect someone to be able to run a bank or do surgery unless we trained them to do it. So why do we think we can "magically" adapt to climate change when we haven't taught people how? Workers across every nook and cranny of society need to learn what climate change adaptation is, how it affects their jobs and what they can do to tackle it. That's why Vivian Forssman, Robin Cox and the team at the Adaptation Learning Network (now CanAdapt) at Royal Roads University in  British ...

Shayna Rector- Bleeker: Making fleet electrification easier

December 21, 2022 19:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MB

Real climate innovation is incredibly complex. Even when we manage to develop technical solutions that allow us to cut fossil fuels, we still have to "sell" those to others – make it easy for them to switch from the way they currently do things. Fortunately, that's one of Shayna Rector Bleeker's superpowers. As a former advertising exec who worked on energy challenges from Shell, she's able to bring diverse partners together to find new ways to solve some of our toughest problems. These da...

The Q.west for good

November 03, 2022 16:00 - 33 minutes - 23.1 MB

After a brief hiatus to shift direction, I'm back with an amazing line-up of innovators ready to share the stories of how they overcome barriers to create breakthrough change on issues from fleet electrification to chronic disease. In this episode, I talk briefly about the new direction and what to expect, introduce my new online journal packed with innovation stories and strategies from global change agents, and share highlights from the first three years of the show.  Grab some inspirat...

Denise Withers: TEDX Talk on Narrative Intelligence

June 22, 2022 22:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MB

We're changing things up a bit this episode! Before taking a break for the summer, I wanted to share my TEDX talk on Narrative Intelligence. It's a great introduction to how we can use stories to make personal, cultural and social change, weaving together everything I've learned over the last 30+ years of work as a filmmaker, educator, consultant and coach. If you'd rather watch the video for the full TEDX experience, here's the link. And don't forget to check out my free online webboo...

Shizue Roche Adachi: Nourishing social change by changing food narratives

May 16, 2022 20:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MB

Food does more than just provide the chemicals we need to survive. It feeds our spirit, imagination and relationships. It connects us to the land, our history, our culture and each other. Perhaps most importantly, food also gives us the power to heal our relationships, systems and society. But to do that, we first have to start to explore, understand and ultimately shift the dominant narratives that define our relationship to food. And that's exactly what Shizue Roche Adachi and the team a...

Council Fire: Finding common ground for change, with stories

May 05, 2022 22:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MB

The only way we’re going to make progress on complex environmental and social issues is through collaboration - bringing together groups with diverse perspectives, needs and skills. And the only way to do that is to find common ground as a place to start - something that’s getting tough to do in an increasingly polarized world.  That’s why I’m so excited to have George Chmael II and Rachel Seba from Council Fire join me for this episode. As long-time leaders in sustainability consulting, th...

Laura Hughes: Overcoming polarization, with stories.

March 31, 2022 16:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MB

Polarization has become a major roadblock for those working on issues from public health to climate change. Unless we can figure out how to shift cultures and the stories that shape them, it’s going to be tough for us to find ways to move forward together. That’s why I’m so excited to have Laura Hughes join me for this episode. As a senior policy analyst in the Alberta clean energy program at the Pembina Institute, she leads the organization’s files on women in the energy transition, the A...

Jenn T. Grace: Why your raw, real story matters

March 15, 2022 21:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

"In so many ways I have seen people downplay certain aspects of their identity. When in reality, they should be really, really kind of doubling down on being more of who they are." –– Jenn T. Grace Despite decades of advocacy for diversity in publishing, a quick Google search for the top non-fiction authors inevitably turns up a list of white men. This matters, for lots of reasons. If we want people to be transformed by books, they have to see themselves in those books. Which means that we’...

Jeff Biggers: Inspiring action with the Climate Narrative Project

February 22, 2022 22:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

Leaders across the globe are beginning to realize that the biggest thing stopping us from taking action on climate change isn't a lack of capacity or technical solutions. It's a lack of engagement. Of historical and cultural context. Of connection to people and place. No one wants to have climate action done to them. They want to play a role in creating solutions. They need to see themselves, their homes, their businesses and their families reflected in goals and strategies. Of course, the...

Rinku Sen: Practical ways to create narrative change

January 31, 2022 21:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

Rinku Sen is an expert on shifting narratives. In her role as the Executive Director of the Narrative Initiative, she leads a team that works across timelines, cultures, sectors and the country to make equity and social justice common sense. As an author, former ED of Race Forward and Co-President of the Women's March, Rinku brings deep experience in racial justice, feminist and labor movements to her change work. In this episode, Rinku demystifies the work of narrative change, helping us u...

Karl Schroeder: Preparing for the future, with stories

January 07, 2022 21:00 - 32 minutes - 22 MB

"By telling a story, you put in motion this vast sort of undercurrent of cognitive abilities that we all have for determining what's plausible. What's likely? What would play against what else? And there's nothing quite like narrative for doing that." --- Leaders and organizations live and die by their ability to plan for and navigate the future. While tools such as data and analytics have a key role to play, the most powerful way to explore and shape the future is through the lens of story....

Aubrey Bergauer: Changing the narrative on classical music

November 25, 2021 01:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MB

Creating narrative change is always tough, but doing it in the arts, where beliefs and behaviour are grounded in centuries of stories and tradition can seem impossible. You need to be able to weave a powerful vision, rich data and purpose-driven leadership together into a compelling story that informs and inspires change. And that's exactly what I talk about in this episode with Aubrey Bergauer. As the CEO of Changing the Narrative, she uses classical music and the arts as a vehicle to crea...

Ellen Buchman: New research into designing narrative change

November 03, 2021 00:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

If you want to move hearts and minds, then you have to change the narratives that control them. But few people have the time, expertise or research to invest in the long game that is narrative change. That's where Ellen Buchman and her team at The Opportunity Agenda come in. They run a social justice communication lab, where they work with partners across the continent to help them find new ways to change the stories that shape the world. This past year, they published a powerful report, ...

Johanna Wagstaffe: Making connections, with science storytelling.

October 07, 2021 23:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MB

Science communication is a tough gig. You have to find a way to maintain accuracy and rigour while telling a story that people can relate to and remember. And it's more important than ever these days, as we work to combat the spread of fake news and misinformation on issues from climate change to the pandemic. So what's the secret? That's what we find out in this episode with Johanna Wagstaffe.  She tackles this challenge every day in her work as a seismologist, meteorologist and scientist...

Denise Young: Shifting perspectives on climate, with stories.

September 16, 2021 21:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MB

It's tough for us to shift our behaviour on big issues like climate change when all we ever hear is the same, dominant narrative. And that's a real danger in these days of media consolidation and takeovers. Yet, misinformation propagated by "alternative news" sites can be even more dangerous. So how can we use scientific storytelling and independent journalism to help us find a balance? That's what we explore in this episode with strategic communications consultant, writer and coach, Denis...

Juliano Calil: Inspiring climate action, with VR stories.

August 24, 2021 23:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MB

It can be nearly impossible to get people to take action on big issues like racism or climate change – until it affects them directly. Looking at fuzzy satellite photos and trying to imagine what will happen when the sea level rises isn't very interesting or exciting for most people. But in recent years, a perfect storm of technological advancement and design know-how has created an opportunity for us to create simulations that allow people to actually feel what it's like to be in a wildfi...

Joe Tankersley: Imagining better tomorrows – with stories.

July 21, 2021 23:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MB

"The future does not exist. It is not some destination out on the horizon waiting for us to show up. It is ours to create. The journey to better tomorrows begins with the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible." – Joe Tankersley Most of us struggle to imagine a future that is significantly different than our world today. Yet, using storytelling to explore possible future scenarios as a way to inform vision, purpose, and strategy is one of the cheapest and most effective ways for l...

Hans Hansen: Beating unjust death penalties, with Narrative Change.

June 18, 2021 21:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MB

One of the biggest reasons change initiatives fail is that we assume people are a blank slate when create our strategies and interventions for them. We just expect them to realize how brilliant our big ideas are and buy into them. But the reality is that almost everything we think, say and do is controlled by an existing set of narratives, about how the world works and our place in it. So, what we often fail to realize is that you can't change someone's beliefs or behaviors until you chang...

Andrea Collier: Finding common ground for change, with stories.

June 02, 2021 18:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MB

Storytelling experts often say that we need to make sure our stories for change have an enemy or a bad guy in them – because it's easier to get people to fight against something than to get them to fight for something. But what do we lose, when that becomes the way we spend our entire life? Our humanity. If we want people to change, we have to first discover our shared values – what we want more of – and rally them around that. And that's what I talk about in this episode, with author and ...

David Drake, The Moment Institute: Narrative coaching for change

May 11, 2021 18:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

We all struggle with making change, whether it's figuring out what to do after you graduate – or how to slow global warming. And while there's no shortage of experts out there who say they can help, there are very few who have a proven model for human change that's empowered thousands of people be their best over the last 20 years. That's why I'm so excited to share this interview with Dr. David Drake. As the founder of Narrative Coaching and Integrative Development, David's worked with so...

B Corps - Using business as a force for good.

March 31, 2021 20:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MB

In recent years, it's become clear that we can't keep doing business as usual. The costs to our people and the planet are just too great. But what and how do we change? That’s what a small and mighty group of businesses called B Corporations is trying to figure out.  And that's what I explore today with two leaders from the B Corps community, Jennifer Kongs and Veena Harbaugh. As a founding partner of Bark Media, Jennifer and her colleagues run B The Change, the storytelling platform that ...

March 02, 2021 00:00 - 27 minutes - 19 MB

Entrepreneurship is on the rise, as more and more people seek meaning and control over their work. But figuring out what, exactly, they want to do and how, exactly, they want to do it can be one of the toughest parts of building a new business. Stories can help - by giving new entrepreneurs the clarity, confidence and courage they need to succeed. And that's what I explore in this episode with Karen Greve Young. Karen's the CEO of Futurpreneur Canada, the only national non-profit organizat...

Kim Herrington, Data Journalist - Data storytelling for social change

February 15, 2021 22:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MB

Kimberly Herrington’s passionate about data storytelling. And she’s not alone. Across the globe, people are eating up books and courses about this relatively new story niche. Why? Because they realize that our ability to generate data far outperforms our ability to communicate and act on them.   Data storytelling goes beyond simply telling the story of how you got your data, or explaining what a specific plot point means. As we discover in this episode, it helps us figure out what questions...

Sean Gibbons, The Communications Network - Strategies to change narratives, for good.

February 03, 2021 17:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MB

Over the last year, we've heard growing demand across the planet to change the narrative on issues from racism, poverty and capitalism - to climate change, health care and biodiversity. But what, exactly, does that mean? What are narratives? How do they influence the way we live and work? And how the heck do you change one? That's what we discuss in this episode, with Sean Gibbons, CEO of The Communications Network. His organization connects, gathers, and informs leaders working in communic...

Rowena Alegria, Chief Storyteller, City of Denver - Using stories to correct the past and shape the future

January 07, 2021 01:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MB

If you want to engage people in creating a better future, then you have to make sure they know that they are seen and heard, that their voices matter. And in many places across the world, for many peoples, that hasn't always happened. But in the City and County of Denver, Rowena Alegria is changing that. As the Chief Storyteller, she's on a mission to bring the stories of the people to each other and the government, to change the narrative of exclusion and division to one of belonging and ...

Amesbury - Making government more engaging and transparent, with stories

December 23, 2020 00:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MB

As increasing numbers of younger people enter politics, we’re seeing leaders who are not only more media-savvy, but also more transparent and collaborative. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when Amesbury’s new Mayor Kassandra Gove and her Communications Director Caitlin Thayer told me that story listening is at the heart of their strategic work. Sure, they’re doing great things to engage residents, businesses and partners through channels like social media, email newsletters and a narr...

December 02, 2020 17:00 - 26 minutes - 18.1 MB

It seems like everyone's starting some kind of a "Business U" these days. But they're almost all grounded in old paradigms focused on growth and profit. And that's not what we need if we're really going to #BuildBackBetter. That's where Hamsa Daher and her team at Small Giants come in. They're growing a learning community for leaders who prioritize purpose and people – and they're doing it with stories.

November 19, 2020 20:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MB

While companies across sectors struggle to cope with the economic impacts of the pandemic, it's becoming increasingly clear that those driven by a social purpose are out-performing their profit-driven competition. They have better customer loyalty, employee engagement and innovation capacity. But how can leaders make the shift? It turns out that stories have a big role to play - and that's what I talk about with Mary Ellen Schaafsma in this episode. She's the Executive Director of the Soci...

Britt Wray - Science storytelling for today's crises

October 26, 2020 21:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MB

It's tough being a scientist these days. You have to be rigorous, data-driven and totally committed to your calling to maintain credibility in a world where fake news challenges every finding. Plus, you have to be able to communicate your research to non-scientific audiences in a way that gets them to act on and support your work. Science storytelling can help you find a way to do both.

Every day, organizations like BC Housing conduct critical research that has the potential to shape decisions and our world.

David duChemin - Telling powerful stories with photos.

It’s never been easier to take and share great photos. And telling stories visually is one of the fastest, cheapest ways to connect with other people - employees, customers, investors, voters, or your team. So why aren’t leaders using photos more to build trust, inspire hope and fuel change? That’s what I turned to David duChemin to find out.
