Acting for a changed world: community, government and business.

It is one thing to be aware of the damage that humanity is doing to the environment, it is quite another to respond effectively. It can feel a frustrating process: as voters we each have only a single vote; venting our concerns to others with similar views may be cathartic but doesn't deliver change; preaching our worldview to those who disagree is fraught with failure. We too easily feel unheard as a result. This session considers how we can be more effective in acting for change through:

• Understanding the diverse perspectives of others, based on outside research.
• Adopting cognitive approaches to our emotions in engagement with others.
• Finding the appropriate communication and lifestyle approaches that work with the person and community that we are.
