Force of Nature

Can you be an activist and an environmental professional? How do we tackle eco-anxiety, especially for the next generation and is activism something everyone can get involved in? In the April episode of Planet Possible we’re exploring the role that activism plays in driving positive environmental and climate outcomes. Increasingly we’re seeing and hearing individuals and groups looking to drive faster action on slowing the speed at which our planet is warming. What are some of the challenges of being a youth activist and how can we support young activists more effectively? We're joined by a 24-year-old climate activist and the founding Executive Director of Force of Nature - a youth non-profit mobilising mindsets for climate action - Clover Hogan.

Ooft - this episode of Force of Nature's podcast really resonated. Loved Arifa Nasim and Clover Hogan's discussion about burnout culture in activism.. about that feeling that in the face of the world's biggest challenges you're never doing enough... about that feeling that your work is intrinsically linked to your value as a human... about the feeling that when working or founding a startup it's your responsibility to put your organisation/ your 'baby' first, and your own wellbeing second. I really feel this way when thinking about the urgency of the climate and nature crisis. It really can add an additional layer of stress or anxiety for any of us working in this space. In fact feeling overwhelmed can be seen as a natural response to the state of the world around us. Loved the candid discussion and tips in this episode about the need for mental, spiritual, creative, physical active REST - made me think about the preventative pillars of wellbeing put forward by Tegan Creedy, Nader Dehdashti and the team at Happy Space UK Any other tips or resources about how to move away from burnout culture would be most most welcome - I know Bella Soares and I would welcome them!

Hi friends 👋 I come to you with big personal update... which is that I will soon be stepping down as Executive Director of Force of Nature. 2023 was one of the hardest years of my life personally and professionally. Only when I was forced to press pause did I realise that I hadn't been able to show up for myself, or as the leader Force of Nature needed, for some time. It has been a rollercoaster but I am so proud of the impact we've made and grateful for the team I've gotten to work alongside. And as we enter this next chapter, we're creating space for a new generation of leadership to step up: which starts with hiring another Executive Director. So, I am now turning to you, our wonderful community, and asking for your help in finding this person. The job application is in the comments below, so please do share with anyone who you think might be a good fit (or know someone who is!) Thank you all 🙌 💛 And the biggest shoutout of all to the team who have made it all possible... Kat Hamilton, Phoebe Hanson, Megan Stillwell, Hannah Hooper, Sacha Wright, Rachel Keane, Janine Walker, Claire Low Qian Ling, Vamshi Krishna Yelugam, Nadia Moussaoui. . . . . . . #climateaction #activism #action #speaker #business #nonprofit #burnout #mentalhealth #sustainablebusiness #technology #leaders #leadership #people #sustainability #ecoanxiety #HR #culture #hiring #executivedirector #CEO #greenjobs
