Emotional Resilience for Environmental Organisations

This is a services directly tailored to organisations, intiatives and groups working towards ecological health and sustainability.
The purpose of this work is to support people who are dedicating their everyday life towards creating systems that sustain our living conditions for the future.
Reasons for this work are:

risk for burn-out from high engagement
challenges to commuicate uncomfortable truths to society
challenging task to activating action change in people who do not see a personal benefit in it
potentially mental stress of sourcing own financiation
sometimes a lack of effectiveness in reaching the people in society that are required for change of society
high felt pressure on groups and individuals to be the change
being confronted with a lot of resignation, ignorance, or even hatred
potentially the exhausting job of being in competition with big companies around being heard and influencing political decisions

Is there a sense of panic, is there worry, is there an underlying sense of desperation?

Are you scared you won't have enough impact?

Are you trying to reach more people to care for environmental issues but most repond in a resigned, apathetic, or ignorant way?

Our brains are always trying to help us make sense of the world, be safe and belong. Let's help everyone's brains to grasp environmental challenges from a different perspectives- one that prevents the usual ways of coping mechanism that leads to inaction.

Coping with the Mental burden

Confronted with the climate crisis and environmental destruction in day-to-day's work can take a heavy toll on our mental health. I experienced this during my university studies when learning about destruction of our earth and living beings just became the main part of my head space, with an overwhelming sense of dispair. The parts of society who didn't take their attention there, felt so unreachable, far away. Now, sustainability is in the focus of lager parts of society, especially in Norway. Nevertheless, there can be a sense of speechlessness about the impact of consumption on the liveability of our planet. And the big questions, for those of us working in the field, how do we reach people who are occupied with many other things? How do we speak in order to touch hearts and shift behaviours?

Designed for Environmental Organisations

This service is specifically designed for organisations that work with with a focus on environmental and sustainability issues (also for teams with focus on environmental issues in larger organisations). The goal is to help having powerful impact in the world with more ease, and greater mental health and social interactions.

Why me, why this?

Why I offer this service

In order to learn how to have impact, I went and learned in various organisations to understand which would be the most effective and fast way to move us collectively to more sustainable behaviour.

Joining an NGO, governmental agency, high ranking research organisation and a parliament, I was struck to find the same loopholes in each organisation. Being thrilled about interaction patterns (nerdy one could say), I wrote down all my observations and bit by bit, I wrote a concept for sustainability transformations that reach a deeper stance in us humans. Very excellent trainings that I followed over the past years build necessary keystones my approach and they came together like puzzle pieces.

Communicating towards the society

Knowing, clarifying and owning the paradoxes that you inherently hold as an organisation, will be noticeable to people you interact with and want to draw in to support environmental change.
