Leadership journey continues …Part 5

I woke up this morning thinking about New Zealand’s role in the world around sustainability. People have asked me if it’s possible for this county to be the first in becoming environmentally sustainable.

It’s still a long way off but early signs look promising. It’s fine if we are not first but it would be great to amongst the first.

It will take courage. Being bold. Right legislation. Run better recycling. Product packaging is 100% recyclable or compostable etc.

People are critical in order to achieve this ambitious goal and a great first step would be New Zealand’s journey to a low-emissions energy future through organisations like Are Ake (Areake.co.nz) who are helping us safeguard our journey.

Ara Ake – is formed from “two separate words coming together to represent new pathways to be explored on a continuous journey forward. It is a call to awaken and understand that change is normal”.

The first step of many and part of my leadership journey is to better understand how to help make it possible through my own journey.
