Making sense of the world we’re in

We are in a polycrisis - defined by Business Declares as “the combined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and social/ racial inequity”.

I help people to make sense of the rapidly changing world we’re in, and to imagine and build the relationships and the caring, adaptive cultures that we need both now and in times ahead.

My keynotes, talks, and interactive forums bring powerful, relatable, useful insights with carefully curated content on climate and behavioural psychology to illuminate, inform and inspire people, both at an individual and collective level.

I’ve been a professional speaker for over 30 years, meeting the needs of a wide range of people and groups - boards, senior managers, teams, professionals, communities. Here are just some of the topics I cover:

• Making sense of the world we’re in - psychological perspectives on how we got here and what we need to do now.

• Psychological responses to the climate crisis - how understanding leads to connection, stronger relationships and resilience.

• Coping with eco-anxiety & climate distress - strategies for nurturing mental wellbeing in uncertain, unsettling times.

• Doom or hopium? What can climate psychology teach us about getting the right balance in climate communications?

• Let’s decide together: how Citizens Assemblies can build democratic, resilient, adaptive, sustainable communities.

• Time to think: the power of listening to ignite human minds.
