But if you look deeper you’ll see the overwhelming number of similarities between the work of Chris Fischer, OCEARCH and what we do with communication, leadership and coaching.  A full-time explorer, Chris Fischer has a special gift of seeing the “big picture,” creating solutions around that picture, and communicating that picture in an accessible way to others. Chris has led 39 global expeditions focused on accelerating the ocean’s return to balance and abundance, by unlocking the life history puzzle of white sharks and other keystone species through expeditions aboard the OCEARCH.  His approach completely disrupts the research and policy process by making data collection and distribution collaborative, inclusive and open-sourced. This data-centric approach has inspired global ocean environmental protection policies, with Chris working alongside Presidents of several countries, including the U.S. We discuss:  How to productively disrupt a well established industry  Navigating learned helplessness in sharks and people Using storytelling to ethically sell your mission  Why communication is to coaching as oceans are to sharks  Connect with Chris: Via OCEARCH: ocearch.org  Via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/explorerfischer/ One thing while you’re still here… Chris and I talk extensively about the lack of effective communication in highly technical and science-driven fields. If you find yourself in one of these environments and want to practice better storytelling/communication so you can connect the people you serve to the work you do, let us help!  We offer 1 on 1 online communication training!

when you look at all research and all these kind of nonprofits and all these various activities when you look at like Earth System Management

because we don't have like an Earth Council which is like the dumbest thing of all time.

Like we're on the no plan plan for the planet.
