In the race toward sustainability, we often focus on technology, policy, and innovation but what if true transformation begins inside?

In this episode of AERZENtalks, sustainability leader and Inner Development Goals (IDGs) advocate Adrienne Doolan joins us to explore how cultivating self-awareness, empathy, courage, and collaboration can fuel meaningful, lasting change.

We dive into what the IDGs really are, why they matter now more than ever, and how leaders, businesses, and communities, especially in the Middle East, can harness inner growth to drive outer impact. From bridging IDGs with Sustainable Development Goals to embedding inner development in organizations, Adrienne shares practical insights and inspiring stories to help us lead with clarity, purpose, and resilience.

Whether you’re a policymaker, corporate leader, or anyone seeking to make a difference, this episode invites you to rethink leadership, human potential, and the path to a more sustainable world.
