Climate Coaching: From Anxiety to Resilience

The topic of climate change has most likely entered your coaching conversations, directly or indirectly. But what exactly is climate anxiety? How do you face these emotionally charged conversations? How do you foster climate conversations that are realistic and empowering? How do you maintain your composure when you share the same overwhelming feelings as those you are trying to help?

As climate-aware coaches, we are not climate scientists, we certainly don’t engage in confrontation or political debates, tell people what to do, give answers or solutions, or fall into a spiral of despair with our clients when catastrophic scenarios arise.

The biggest impact we can have is to be in genuine conversations and create space for deeper personal transformation. Emotional intelligence, reframing, powerful language, prototyping mindsets, strengths, values, flow, mindfulness and intuition… These are a few of the tools that can help your client transform climate anxiety into climate resilience.
