Hi everyone,
I'm excited to share this report from the 2024 Sustainable Design Leaders Summer Summit.
As usual, this report contains no revealing information that would counter our "safe space" rule so that it can be shared publicly. Feel free to pass it along to anyone interested.
It's hard to capture such a rich event in words (or even slides), but here's what we said in the intro to the report:
This year we returned to a fan-favorite venue, IslandWood, for a Summit that was defined by deep personal introspection. Among the many technical topics that were top-of-mind, we asked ourselves questions like:
Am I holding my role too closely? In what ways would loosening my grip, or planning for a transition make space for broader buy-in or different voices?
Am I leading from the heart and holding those around me accountable at the same time?
How can I support my teams through their climate grief while resourcing myself to continue to do this work?
Grappling with these questions alone might feel too daunting, but together we find ideas, inspiration, and mutual support.
Thanks to all who helped make this such an amazing event. –Nadav
