Climate change. For many business leaders and executives, the term conjures images of melting glaciers, dire scientific reports, and a sense of overwhelming scale. It’s easy to feel that the problem is too big, too abstract, and too far removed from our daily lives. But what if there's a different way? 

The host, Charlene Norman, of Good Stewardship; Lasting Impact explores how personal experience and storytelling might transform the way we approach climate change. Here are the main themes covered in this episode.

1. Make Climate Change Personal: Start with Your Own Weather Diary

2. Connect the Dots: Understand the Long Game of Nature

3. Shift the Narrative: It’s Not About Saving the Earth—It’s About Saving Ourselves

4. Build Community Through Storytelling and Relationships

5. Be a Bridge Builder: Inspire Action for Future Generations
