luuceo podcast

After a summer hiatus, the luuceo podcast is back with Joy and Bronwyn, who took some time to discuss the topic of Emergency Preparedness and Organizational Resilience.

Emergency preparedness, emergency management, climate change, climate resilience, extreme weather, risk management, mitigation strategies... we hear these terms often in our world today, but what do they all mean and how are they related to running a resilient business/organization?

This podcast explores how emergencies (from COVID to wildfires) can impact our planet, communities, families, and businesses -- and how we can prepare for, mitigate, and adapt to different types of shocks and stressors.

On this month’s podcast, we were joined by the entire luuceo team to discuss what led us to working in sustainability, what excites us about it, and some common misconceptions about the sustainability industry.

Today we talk about our experiences growing a consulting business during the pandemic, the evolution of our approach to team, project, and client management, and ways to consider both the risks and opportunities that emerge from times of uncertainty.

Happy International Women's Day! For this month's podcast, we sat down with the entire luuceo team to discuss the following questions:

o (1:30) -- What are some of the pros and cons (opportunities and challenges) that you’ve experienced as a woman in the industries you’ve worked?

o (7:10) -- Has there been a female mentor or peer that has inspired you?

o (14:00) -- What would you say to your younger self or a young girl/woman starting to think about her future career?

o (20:45) -- What does feminism mean to you?

Today we talk about what it is like being the owners of a small business and the opportunities and challenges that come along with it.

Happy New Year! Here is our first podcast of 2021. We decided to discuss some strategies for organizations to consider when setting sustainability and resilience goals, metrics, and targets.

In our last podcast of the year, we took some time to reflect on 2020 and our first year of business. We discussed trends that we saw emerge in the industry and opportunities to learn from the challenges our world is currently facing. Hope everyone has a lovely holiday season and a happy new year!

Today we took some time to discuss how human health and wellbeing are interconnected with sustainability and resilience. As we are using the WELL Building Standard on one of our projects, we are discovering the relationships between humans and their environment, as well as the evolving changes due to increased climate impacts. Some examples we explore are the recent forest fires on the west coast and the prolonged impacts of COVID-19 on work spaces.

We wanted to take some time to answer a question we often get from our clients and project partners on the difference between climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation.

Discussing how intrinsic and extrinsic motivators can impact an individual's drive within a workplace or on a project and their fit to perform certain tasks.
