Sustainability is an imperative, not a nice to have. My Earth Day 2022 guest Stacy Smedley shares how she turned her passion for a better world into an advocacy based career and became a leading voice of the industry.
Have an impact first attitude. It's about what you can do, not the channel you use to get there. Do more than get credentials.
Ask for the opportunities you want and see how the work you are doing today contributes to those opportunities.
Look for ways to learn by getting involved in the greater community of professionals. This will create a network to elevate your impact. Your network isn't a hub and spoke hierarchy. It's an ecosystem of interconnected resources and abilities.
Sustainable measures should be based on the project goals, not an evaluation system. The system you choose will then help you stretch what you consider for the project.
Stop thinking about sustainability from where you sit. Think in the context of the industry, the community and globally.
Know what terms like embodied carbon mean and make sure everyone on your team is speaking the same language.
This year's Earth Day theme Invest in Our Planet can challenge us to think not just of how we can incentivize sustainability but the cost of not taking action.
Sustainability, resilience and equity are interconnected and as you achieve impact in one area, you begin to also impact the others, so think about how they can work together on your projects.
Don't be afraid of the 3/4 baked idea. Share thoughts in development and work in progress within your network to improve and amplify them.

Did you know you were in sales? Not just to win new work, but to navigate your day. Everything from client meetings to internal hard talks is about selling your ideas and showing how you can help others solve their most painful problems.
Success is about sales- convincing the other person that you can help them.
Welcome and expect dissent. Be curious about why someone has the concerns they do.
Disagreement is not rejection. It's doubt. Ferret out someone's real concerns and the big problems keeping them up at night and you will be able to win them over by addressing them
"Because I said so," is not a reason for anyone to listen to you. It didn't work when your mother did it, and it won't work with clients or colleagues. Give reasons behind your logic and ask for feedback.
Avoid polarizing the issues. You are not "right." The other person is not "wrong." You are here to solve their problem.

What labels have you slapped on yourself because you think you should show up a certain way? In this episode, we explore ways you've limited your potential with these definitions. It's time for a rewrite- one that aligns with who you are not who you think you are supposed to be.
Think about how you see yourself. Does this match with how others see you? Does it resonate with your core self?
If you are living with labels applied to yourself, you are restricting your potential. Instead, you burden yourself with all of the expectations and obligations that come with the label.
When you allow yourself to be defined according to someone else's idea of what you "should" or "must" do, you get drawn into codependency. This makes you responsible for other people' outcomes, at the expense of what you really need or want to thrive.
Get out of the box you were told you had to navigate within by rediscovering the essential you.
People read the labels you place on yourself- rewrite the self definition and you show up differently in the world.

You experienced a bit of a dumpster fire. Did you panic and throw gasoline on it? Or did you calmly reach for an extinguisher? Things go south. People can be difficult. It's only when you make it mean something it doesn't that it adds up to a bad day.

We live in a culture that forces extroverted interactions, even though most of us are introverts. Listen in for my pro tips on how to network effectively at conferences without feeling fake.
Introverts navigate the world differently from extroverts. Because interacting with others depletes our energy, we need to find opportunities for restoration.
Don't feel pressured to over-socialize. Use passive moments like listening to presentations as opportunities for solitude by sitting by yourself.
Nix the awkward small talk. Instead, ask meaningful questions to targeted people. By expressing genuine interest in someone's work, you make authentic connections.
Find alone time during breaks. This can look like sitting in a quiet corner, going outside, or even back to your hotel rooms.
Find things in common to discuss during networking events. Ask open ended questions.
Practice gracefully ending conversations that have run their course.

Ever notice how negativity can go viral? It's natural to want to protect ourselves by seeing "danger" or vent frustrations. However, that ship needs to turn around and start getting some positive momentum. In this episode, learn how mirroring techniques can help you lead with an energy, enthusiasm, and optimism that's contagious.
Don't just show up- be energized and share what you're learning.
Surround yourself with expansive thinkers
When you create a negative narrative, it gets multiplied AND reflected back to you!
You go first: initiate the reframe/positivity and let others mirror your body language and speech patterns.
Always be opportunity focused

Go ahead, think about your biggest career dream. Now, tell me why you aren't there yet. All those reasons? Limitations you believe exist on your time, abilities, resources. Listen in to learn how to move past those and take action towards what you want instead of arguing for your limitations.
What stories are you telling yourself about why you can't have what you want? How true are most of those stories?
What you don't believe is possible is based on limitations you think you have, not facts.
When you find yourself thinking about something you can't do, identify the limitation behind that and take steps to overcome it by taking different action.
Be open to opportunities instead of shutting them down.
Ask, "How can I?" and be open to al possibilities not just one way you think something could work.
Look for the patterns in what excites you and the areas where you most want to say yes.
