Live Podcast
Every week, on Mondays, I hold a Live podcast on Facebook and Instagram, discussing all sorts of issues: from sustainability to social causes, from business to mental health, from ethical consumerism to global citizenship!
May 31st - What does it mean to be a Global Citizen?
Audio transcript:
Main takeaways:
-
We are all connected globally, instantly, so we have opportunities to grow, but also major responsibilities.
-
We need to make space in our lives for the members of our global community.
-
We need to regain perspective and become aware of our role in the global ecosystem.
-
As humans our goal is to progress and evolve and drive humanity forward.
-
We are not the top of the food chain, we are just one part of the ecosystem.
-
To become better global citizens we need to:
​
-
make space in our hearts and put aside time in our schedule to become aware of all the important things in our lives and to gain perspective;
-
be curious and educate yourself on global issues like climate change and social causes;
-
train your sensitivity and empathy to be able to listen to and understand other cultures;
-
become a master in cultural intelligence;
-
Most of our products are designed, manufactures, sold, used all around the world; so when we purchase a product we not just buy the product itself, but also all the problems that that product's supply chain create;
-
We are part of the problem each time we make a purchase;
-
By becoming an educated consumer and by making small green choices every day you can make a huge impact;
We need to look to the future with hope, love and to try and improve daily: "do what you can where you can with what you have and always strive for improvement".
