Our Transformational Nature Stories: A Compass for Thriving in Business and Life

By tapping into our experiences with nature, we can renew the profound influence it has on how we feel and how we perceive ourselves and others. From the ground laid by these personal nature experiences, we explore how nature and its living systems can inform the way we lead in business. Now more than ever, our leadership calls for a wisdom reflecting that humanity is part of nature.

In this town hall gathering hosted by the Livable Planet Working Group, ASBN members and allies Susan Eirich, Jenise Bermudez, Josh Knauer, Christina Cobb, and Liz Rubin were invited to evoke a special nature-based experience. Presenters started things off by sharing their own transformative nature experience, including how it has affected their personal and professional life. Attendees will be led through a process of embodying the power and inspiration of their own nature encounter.

The intention of this gathering was to provide a forum to ground us in and fully value biophilia – the innate love of nature – as fundamental to our success and wellness as humans and business leaders.
