workplace Circles Session 11

What Next in the Workplace

A helpful resource for workplace action:
Drawdown Labs’s Climate Solutions at Work guide.

🌱 Opening

Re-read Ada Límon’s poem “Dead Stars” (p. 136).

💫 Check-in

Prompt: This session is all about action. Share your name + 1 word for how you’re feeling about climate action in the workplace. Then pass to someone else. (Circle leader should go first and model this.)

☀️ Discussion

Move through 3 generous questions, ensuring everyone has a chance to share:

  1. Given your current role, skills, and passions, is there a particular area of climate work at work that you’re drawn to? How could your work be directed to climate solutions?

  2. Tap into the power of radical imagination. What would it look like for your organization to be in alignment with a just and livable future? (Capture your collective vision and use it as fuel going forward.)

  3. What is a bold aspiration you have for your organization in the next three years? Is there a climate-related “ask” you might collectively make of your organization? Who has the power to make that ask a reality? (This power-mapping resource from 350.org might help.)

📌 Nitty gritty

Do we want to keep meeting as a support/accountability Circle?
