We fundamentally believe that everyone has a stake in climate change, that everyone can make, can affect change around it.”Check out the episode page for the transcript and a full list of the resources mentioned in this episode: https://widerroots.com/6 Today's episode features Charly Cox, author of the book "Climate Change Coaching."In this conversation, Charly's approach to holding a systemic view stands out. She not only believes in our client's ability to change but also in the system's ability to change. Her coaching helps clients see their situation from this broader perspective.
