What an inspirational panel led by strong female change-makers! While conversations about indigenous rights and climate justice are for everyone, as an engineer I especially draw motivation from discussions on the nexus of climate change, resilience, and global development. … My big takeaways… 1. The construction industry needs to be engaging with the local communities in our development projects. Their role is more than providing a signature on a form, they need to be engaged as key stakeholders and involved throughout the process. Listen to their desires and values. 2. Don’t just rebuild, rebuild better. Learn from our engineering pitfalls, and built back infrastructure to a higher level of resilience. With resilient structure there is often a higher embodied carbon cost, we must find the balance between material intensity and engineering to “future proof” our hazard prone communities. Global warming is increasing the recurrence and intensity of many extreme weather events, how can we engineer to meet future demands? 3. Every new infrastructure project can be a green-infrastructure project. Can we build in a way that enhances the community experience and rather than building to meet a need? Are there opportunities to promote low carbon transit, implement solar, reduce heat-island effect, or cultivate community? … Thanks Oxfam Aotearoa

Going global with Listen Bar has been a dream years in the making. Couldn't imagine a better way to do it than with next month's Listen Bar: Lisbon. As Fast Company wrote, alcohol-free travel is a rising trend, with over 40% of travelers planning an alc-free trip this year, and a "220% increase in travelers who do not drink alcohol" year-over-year. Holy stats! Incredibly excited to be hosting our FIRST-ever alc-free trip in May and bring Listen Bar from NYC to Lisbon. From alc-free dinner pairings, to rowdy bar crawls and our first-ever Listen Bar global party. It's time alc-free travel was seamless, stress-free and fun as hell.

I have gained a deeper appreciation of the differences and intermingling of our two cultures.

"Last week, I had an incredible time presenting at the Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Research to Practice Conference. It was a privilege to be invited to speak alongside esteemed colleagues. This was the first year the program hosted a topic dedicated to Occupational Rehabilitation, which is a huge testament to the collective efforts of our industry. Thanks to all who made this possible! #ESSAConference #OccupationalRehab #ExercisePhysiology"

If there's one thing the world needs right now, it's #gadugi (gah-doo-gee). Gadugi is a Cherokee word that translates to "working together" or "cooperative labor" in English. It reflects our Cherokee cultural value of community collaboration and mutual aid, where people come together to help one another for the common good. #Deloitte #CherokeeNation #BuildingCommunities
