At Speak Carbon, we understand the power of story. We see again and again in our sessions that more than anything else, authentic story-telling is what moves people the get engaged and take action.
Along with those stories however, its also really important to be able to demonstrate the positive impact those actions are having. When we ask folks to plan their actions, part of that includes measuring the results, and deciding what success looks like.
For us, success means lots of different things. The discussions participants have in sessions – getting into the complexity and nuances of what the climate crisis means for them and their work. The feedback we get – hearing how folks now understand the size and urgency of the issues, and the role they have in addressing them. The pledges – reading the ideas and plans people make to take action at work, and watching those plans unfold and create real change as we continue to work with those organisations. The cascade of engagement we’re seeing increasing and increasing, as we build long-term partnerships with our existing clients and forge fresh relationships with new ones all the time. Seeing this spread of knowledge and action in an infographic like this, is a really impactful way to capture the results from our work.
