Description

Renata Lopez-Merriam, a communications and collaboration expert, shares her journey from the world of luxury brands to the realm of social and environmental impact. She emphasizes the importance of collaboration and alliances in creating real change. Renata introduces the concept of the 'Wheel of Impact,' a four-step process that identifies opportunities, solution-based organizations, agents of change, and the power of community. She highlights the need for personal and planetary consciousness to be interconnected and recommends practices such as meditation and self-reflection. Renata's vision for a regenerative future is one of collaboration, and she is kickstarting a project called Earth Stories to gather personal stories about how the Earth crisis is affecting individuals.
