Do you know a young leader driving environmental change who could benefit from up to $50,000 USD, leadership coaching, and a supportive community of changemakers? Through the Walking Softer Young Leaders Award (YLA), I was able to dedicate myself full-time to the Green Career Centre, growing its impact and creating opportunities for underrepresented youth in the green economy. Finding funding to work on climate solutions full-time can be incredibly difficult, and this award provided not just financial support, but also the time, space, and tools to lead with intention. Now, the Green Career Centre has the chance to nominate up to 3 young leaders for this invite-only opportunity! If you’re based in what is currently Canada or the U.S. and leading an early-stage sustainability organization/start-up this could be for you! 📩 Express your interest here: https://lnkd.in/e96FJviz 🚨 Deadline: rolling until March 4, 2025 (early expressions of interest are strongly encouraged!) With the award’s support, I had the opportunity to:
 ✅ Attend and speak at major conferences like New York Climate Week, VERGE Climate Tech, the Sustainable Finance Forum and Leading Change
 ✅ Deepen my learning through The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, which reshaped how I approach collaboration, decision-making, and personal growth
 ✅ Engage with The Four Sacred Gifts through facilitated sessions, reinforcing the power of forgiveness, unity, healing, and hope in climate leadership

🌿 Challenging Media’s Unsustainability, One Episode at a Time 🌍 In the latest Green Jobs Media Series episode, Smiely Khurana shares their journey of breaking into sustainability work in the entertainment industry—where sustainability was unheard of. From starting conversations that weren’t happening to advocate for systemic change in film production, Smiley’s story is a powerful example of how one person can push entire industries forward. Key highlights from the episode: 💡 Be bold in unfamiliar spaces: Don’t wait for permission. Be curious, speak up, and start the conversation—even if it’s uncomfortable. 💡 Find mentors & allies: Mentorship opens doors. Find people who are doing what you want to do, and learn from them. 💡 Take pride in your wins: “We’re always told it’s not enough, but if you don’t reflect on your milestones, you’ll lose sight of how far you’ve come.” 💡 Start conversations, even if you’re the only one: Change often starts with one voice. Be that voice in your workplace or industry. 🎙️ Hosted by Jose Reyeros, this episode is packed with practical advice and honest insights on navigating sustainability work.
