8: Connect Your Skills and Experience to Regenerative Work

In this episode, I address a common fear that holds many professionals back from pursuing regenerative careers: the belief that they lack the right qualifications. Drawing from my personal journey transitioning from acting to leading a climate tech startup, I challenge the notion of being "unqualified" and emphasize the unique value each person brings to regenerative work.

I offer three actionable steps to help you connect your skills and experience to regenerative opportunities:

1. Identify Your Core Strengths

Strip away corporate jargon and list your skills in simple, child-friendly terms. This exercise reveals the essence of your abilities, making them more transferable to new roles.

2. Craft Your Authentic Career Narrative

Embrace your current career stage, including any pauses or transitions. I explain why these periods of stillness are essential for growth and how they align with nature's rhythms.

3. Take Small, Consistent Steps

Rather than fixating on a distant career goal, focus on daily, manageable actions that move you in the right direction. I share a client's story to illustrate how even tiny steps can overcome significant obstacles.

Throughout the episode, I emphasize that regenerative work spans far beyond a handful of specialized roles. It requires a diverse range of skills and experiences to reshape our economies and societies.
