KEYNOTE SPEAKING
I regularly speak for different sectors and events about the psychological aspects of climate change. I am a Tedx speaker, have been featured in a BBC documentary on climate change anxiety and have been speaking for global businesses, including those who are on the Carbon Disclosure Project A list.
Keynotes are bespoke and cover content that attends to the needs of the audience. My talks have a depth of psychological knowledge and can include experiential elements that allow the audience to experiment with practical skills.
Climate change is so much more than an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere. My talks tell a fuller story and can include multiple aspects, depending on your interests:
-
the need to prepare for the mental health impact of living in a world where change is inevitable and where a metaphorical death of much that has been familiar is inevitable
-
insights that support resilience, allow us to tolerate anxiety and enable us to stay with uncomfortable truths without collapsing into reactivity or numbing.
-
research based evidence of how climate change affects our mental health and how in turn our mental health affects the state of the world
-
the role of compartmentalisation and numbing in a response that allows individuals, companies and nations to rationally say the right things and then to act in incongruent ways
-
the need to create frameworks of care that encourage maturity and support us to choose our caring side over impulsivity, exceptionalism and uncare
-
the role of collective trauma in our response to climate change
