Hi, and welcome to my occasional blog. I’m Nina Winham. I work in consulting related to sustainability, values-based communications, engagement, and change management. You can visit that part of my life over at the website for my company, New Climate Strategies. (I have a bio there too, if you want it.)
Over here, I live another part of my life, as a storyteller seeking to understand, share, and just maybe help guide us on the path to a sustainable society. I know this path incorporates elements of technology, business, art and science. It also relies critically on rediscovering our souls – for that is where we make whole all the other amazing endeavours of our human society. And that is why I believe stories are a key to helping us nudge our way forward – they can relay fact and reason while being nuanced by emotion and relationship. They are whole, in the way we must remember to be.
“Stories of the New Climate” is my attempt to capture fragments of a vision – a new climate of civility, global connectedness, healthy enterprise, community wellness, shared wealth, and a rich, respected, and restored ecosystem able to nurture and sustain us. No one story will carry a whole vision of what the sustainable society we must achieve will look like, but it’s my hope that a collection of them may help us gather these fragments into a place of knowing – even if we can’t quite see it – what true sustainability is, and who we must become to attain it.
This blog is not too developed so far – and mostly populated with writing I have done for various purposes – all of it sustainability related in a way. I’ll be adding slowly! I look forward to hearing from you.
