Some conversations bring out a fire you didn’t even know you had. That’s exactly what happened when I spoke with Johan Jensen, host of the Spiritual Emergency Podcast. Johan encouraged me to dive deep into topics I often hesitate to touch on, yet are deeply relevant to regenerative career transitions.In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful extract from our conversation—the one that, in my own words, “lights an angry fire in me.” Johan and I tackled two big topics I’ve had an evolving relationship with: corporate sustainability and climate tech. As someone who spent over a decade devoted to climate tech, I’m now looking at the field through a new lens—one that reveals its limitations in driving systemic change and true transformation.I want to share this with you because I see so many people, with the best intentions, entering the sustainability space only to be swallowed by the corporate machine. I’ve lived the experience of believing in a sector’s power to create change, only to see it held back by a lack of systemic and intersectional awareness.In this episode, we’ll explore why sustainability without system change is simply a sticking plaster and why, if you’re moving into this space, it’s crucial to have your eyes wide open. Learn how to focus your efforts on creating meaningful change that truly makes an impact.Tune in to learn:Why sustainability without systems change is just a sticking plasterHow my experience in climate tech has shaped my view on real transformationKey questions to ensure your work in sustainability aligns with what truly mattersListen to the full conversation with Johan here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7x0QDPJUQhcYXEuKqbrFww?si=y0loND-qRhOI41P7Q27ipgNext steps:Book a Discovery Call to learn more about Regenerative Career CoachingSubscribe to my email for weekly guidance to help you quit corporate and build a successful regenerative career.Read the Blog: Why Corporate Sustainability Lights An Angry Fire In MeVisit the website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP11: How To Talk To Your Partner About Regenerative Career ChangeEP7: Pause is a Career Power Move (Regenerative Unsticking Point with Shweta)EP3: Tips to Avoid Corporate Greenwash in Your Sustainable Job SearchHosted by Ausha.

What do you do when work feels unfulfilling, meaningful creative projects are calling you, but you still have to pay the mortgage? How do you nurture the seed of an idea and test whether it can grow into a viable regenerative business concept?This was the Sticking Point I explored with Harrie, in person, by a stream in my local woodland. Harrie came to me at a turning point, with a contract coming to an end and a series of great-on-paper jobs leaving her unfulfilled. She was yearning for more human interaction, greater immersion in nature, and a connection to her love of local projects—specifically sustainable land-workers. What Harrie lacked was the confidence and clarity to take those first steps.Together, we worked through these uncertainties, helping Harrie gain the clarity and confidence she needed to take her first steps.In our coaching conversation, we explore:Removing financial pressure from the early stages of a creative, regenerative project.Breaking down an ambitious project into manageable steps that bring you joy.The importance of believing in your idea and reminding yourself of the difference you want to make in the world.This episode is for you if you’re ready to reconnect with your creativity, pursue those “impossible” ideas, and build the foundations for a regenerative business.Come and sit by the stream with us, listen to the flowing water, and immerse yourself in the woodland and this inspirational conversation.Feeling stuck on your regenerative journey?

Drawing from my personal journey transitioning from acting to leading a climate tech startup, I challenge the notion of being "unqualified" and emphasize the unique value each person brings to regenerative work.I offer three actionable steps to help you connect your skills and experience to regenerative opportunities:1. Identify Your Core StrengthsStrip away corporate jargon and list your skills in simple, child-friendly terms. This exercise reveals the essence of your abilities, making them more transferable to new roles.2. Craft Your Authentic Career NarrativeEmbrace your current career stage, including any pauses or transitions. I explain why these periods of stillness are essential for growth and how they align with nature's rhythms.3. Take Small, Consistent StepsRather than fixating on a distant career goal, focus on daily, manageable actions that move you in the right direction. I share a client's story to illustrate how even tiny steps can overcome significant obstacles.Throughout the episode, I emphasize that regenerative work spans far beyond a handful of specialized roles. It requires a diverse range of skills and experiences to reshape our economies and societies.For those ready to dive deeper, I invite you to email your completed "homework" to alisa@regenerativeworklife.com with the subject line "Homework" for personalized feedback.
