Summary

Global warming is a problem that needs to be addressed both from the systemic change and the individual lifestyle transformation perspectives. The climate crisis cannot be expected to solve itself, and politicians can never be trusted to make the first step. This is why climate activists need to push stakeholders, including themselves, into action. And all of that starts with recognizing the problem and committing to a drastic lifestyle change. That’s how Matt Schlegel strongly feels about the climate change issue. Best known for creating the Enneagram tool and authoring Teamwork 9.0, Matt believes that people can weaponize their different interests, skills and talents in the fight against climate change. Tune in as he explains how the Enneagram can be used as a problem-solving tool in this fight, how initiatives like #FridaysForFuture can help push change locally and globally, and how we can all do our part in so many different ways.Show Notes:04:38 Matt’s journey to becoming a climate activist06:40 How individual effort and societal change can work together to make an impact12:58 How to motivate communities and governments to change15:19 The Enneagram and problem-solving17:57 Getting people to connect emotionally with the problem and the vision for the future.20:34 The normalcy bias and the grieving process of lifestyle transformation27:45 The bigger problem and owning our responsibility for it30:05 The power of local community organizing in effecting change35:26 #FridaysForFuture and other initiatives41:33 The value of neurodiversity and different perspectives in problem-solving44:55 Matt’s adviceAbout Guest:Bestselling author Matt Schlegel is committed to developing highly effective, style-diverse teams and giving them the tools and strategies to tackle challenges that are seemingly impossible.
