Episode 33: Julia Middleton, a visionary

Earth Converse Podcast

What vision are you putting into action?

A special guest to open 2021…Julia Middleton, founder of international leadership organisation Common Purpose, and more recently Women Emerging from Isolation.

With a profound interest in human beings, and with her 'eyes on the hills and feet on the ground' Julia has done more to unleash talent and amplify diverse voices more than anyone I personally know. Through her love, conversations, campaigning, books and leadership.

Here in this episode we weave our way, covering themes like:

· Women Emerging from Isolation and "how much women are living someone else’s story”

· The idea of ‘core and flex’ in developing our cultural intelligence.

· White fragility and dismantantling white supremacy. “There is a real danger that we all, because it is too difficult become immensely silent and worried”

· Holding up a mirror and the impact of a recent Women in Isolation story about “I have spent my whole life trying to be a boy”

· Common Purpose and their recent online programme Sky Blue, bringing in diverse voices of the environmental sector. “Whether you like them or not that doesn’t matter. You have to work out a way to work together”
