Hi Hi !
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” said Lenin.
The past couple of years certainly have been busier than usual…and not necessarily all of them ‘good’ busy.
When there are so many challenges facing us it’s easy to feel paralysed by fear.
We don’t want you to feel that.
That’s why we’ve curated some tools, resources, and ideas which we hope will inform, inspire and enable you to consider the changes you can make to shape a better future.
I hope you enjoy reading it, and would love to hear your thoughts.
Best wishes,
Donna
Founder of UK for Good and B Leader
Where should I start….
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has made this super-easy with the Anatomy of Action, an online media tool which translates the science into action.
It all comes down to five areas: food, mobility, stuff, money and fun. In each of those areas, the top three things we can all do are highlighted.
The most helpful guide I’ve seen for some time!
But what about pies?…
To make the changes the world needs in the time we have, we’re going to have to put our own comfort, convenience, and preferences second to giving future generations the chance of a better future.
Sorry.
But…
If Mark, now known by his rugby-loving friends as ‘Vegan Boy’, can do it…anyone can

Leadership
Boy do we need a whole new breed of leaders to get us out of the mess the world is in.
We really are in ‘adapt or die’ territory when it comes to business leadership.
The world and people need and deserve better.
In preparation for the Volans Bookclub (my favourite) next week, I’ve just started reading Regenerative Leadership by Giles Hutchins and Laura Storm.
I’m only 70 pages in, and it is already giving me cause for hope and indeed excitement.
The authors say: “What excites us both in the midst of the turmoil our world is in, is that so much positive potential is brewing.”
I’ll update you again after I have attended bookclub!
Leading by example…
Our UK for Good online membership meeting is on Thursday 1st September at 10am.
Our thriving membership community of forward-thinking businesses, offers an opportunity to learn from outstanding leaders, connect with other like-minded leaders, and lead by example.
This month we’re joined by Donald Moore, Chair of the B Corp One+All, and Charly Young MBE, CEO of The Girls Network.
I can’t wait!
