Giving A Great Speech – Tricia Brouk, Former TEDxLincolnCenter Producer, Speaker Coach, Film Producer

“The part in this that is so important is the relationship building component, and that part takes time… (it) is the glue that brings cohesion across the issues and it enables a different form of listening and a different openness, in my view, that includes openness to hearing the science….. Science is the strongest tool of diplomacy.” Michelle Wyman, NCSE This week as the National Council of Science and the Environment, NCSE, embarks on its 2021 conference, days before we have a new President of the United States and new Congress, and amidst the still-raging COVID-19 pandemic, listen to NCSE’s Executive Director Michelle Wyman with host Joan Michelson on Green Connections Radio podcast about how we can better integrate science into decisions and policy making.  It can mean the difference between life and death, literally. But how do you do it, especially with policymakers and elected officials who resist the science? You’ll hear: Why science is important in policymaking, in case you need someone to make the case for you. How to effectively bring science into a discussion with someone who does not value it or doesn’t want to hear it – with stories from her own experience. How to communicate science to Congress and other elected officials so it influences their decisions. Why preparation matters – and how to do it. Plus great career advice! “Stay very clearly focused on remembering not to get boxed in. Not to stay in your lane….There may be ways to step outside that lane, there may be complete pivot points where you can go in a totally different direction and it doesn’t need to happen only when you’re 25.” Michelle Wyman on Green Connections Radio podcast You’ll also want to listen to: Stacy Jupiter, another recent MacArthur “Genius” winner working in climate change mitigation   Rawlings Miller, a climate change mitigation planning expert.   Ingrid Daubechies of Duke University, MacArthur “genius” award winner, and master innovative thinker.   Beth Gibbons, climate change adaptation leader working with local resilience teams.

Talking Science to Policy Makers – Michelle Wyman, National Council For Science and the Environment

“Brand citizenship is a way of doing business – from a company’s core purpose; to its delivery of goods and services; to its responsibility to its employees, community, the environment and the world – that people trust, believe in and rely on…all with the aim of earning profits that are maintainable over the long term.”  Anne Bahr Thompson on Green Connections Radio podcast As we welcome in 2021, leaders, organizations and workplaces are preparing for a post-covid world, figuring out which new ways of doing business will remain.  As I wrote about in Forbes recently, these profound shifts are ushering in the Era of ESG – the investing term for a focus on environment, social and governance issues – when these issues are taking center stage financially as well as strategically.   In my piece, I quoted branding expert and author Anne Bahr Thompson from my interview with her, so it’s fitting to listen anew to our interview first broadcast in the beginning of covid’s dominance this year. We talked about steps companies and leaders should take – and not take – in this unprecedented crisis.   You’ll hear: How to be compassionate and a good corporate citizen at this time, from how you can help, to how you treat your employees, to ads you run (or don’t). The five stages of Brand Citizenship® and how to do them (trust, enrichment, contribution, etc.). Why planning and understanding what your relationship is with your customers are both crucial. What “fitness stretches for your brand” are and why they matter. Plus great career advice! “We each come into the world with gifts. And, how do we apply those gifts and have them intersect with the things we’re good at and the things we’re interested in so that we can contribute.” Anne Bahr Thompson on Green Connections Radio Read my Forbes blogs about Welcome to the Era of ESG, and about how brands can adapt or reinvent their messaging to respond to such crises.

Branding in Crisis  – Anne Bahr Thompson, Author, “Do Good: Brand Citizenship to Fuel Both Purpose and Profit"

"This idea of 'voice and choice' is, ask me what I think and then listen to what I have to say and then give me a choice as to how I can participate. Don't forget that I'm an individual...That's a really big trend." Rachel Hutchisson on Green Connections Radio Connecting with our colleagues and employees is harder than ever – and more important – during this crisis.  The holidays are usually when we have company or organization parties and gatherings that would bring us together, but we can’t do that this year.  Plus, as an organization, we want to donate to nonprofits and causes aligned with our employees. But how? More and more employers are realizing that it's important to both contribute to causes their employees care about and to offer ways their employees can give back. This is what Rachel Hutchisson of Blackbaud calls creating "an ecosystem of social good." Listen to Rachel describe the trends in these programs and how employers can tailor them to their teams, in this enlightening interview from last year, pre-pandemic, with Green Connections Radio host Joan Michelson. You'll hear: How to give your teams "voice and choice" to engage them. What to measure and how to show impact. The causes employees are focused on, according to their data. How to incentivize employees to tell you about their causes. Career tips and more! "Focus on opportunities that will show that you're a leader and do the job well." Rachel Hutchisson on Green Connections Radio  Note: This interview was recorded on location in a cavernous room, so the sound will be lower quality than our usual standards - and was done pre-pandemic. Read my Forbes blog about this here too. You'll want to listen to these too: Erin Michelson, Summery A.I. Founder/CEO, on identifying your employees’ values.
