Episode 17. Emily King on Leading with Vision and Strong Systems
Description
Today we’re joined by Emily King, Sustainability Specialist at Schreiber Foods.
We discuss the fact that a sustainability job means constant variety and change, which can be both the best and worst part about it! And we reflected on the implications for who is best fit for this work.
Emily described that her priority in sustainability leadership is creating a shared vision. Then she dove into strategies she uses to make sure everyone is on board and excited about making progress.
Because she started her career in marketing, Emily uses her storytelling skills to win buy-in and move projects forward.
We also covered how smarter data systems, including AI, can minimize the reporting grind so we can focus on real impact. This is one of her biggest efforts right now.
And Emily described what she looks for in sustainability interviews, providing some great tips for those looking to get into the space.
I really enjoyed her playful energy and spot-on analogies for the sustainability world. I think you will too.
