We are in a time of converging polycrises. Systems level risks including income inequality, biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, and more are on the rise. We have begun to try to address these issues, but we are not addressing what exactly we are solving for, and in the process, how we got here in the first place. The consideration of environmental, social, and governance issues (ESG) is here to assess the risks, but it is not here to solve the issues. Therefore, ESG is where we may have started, but it’s not where we are stopping. To advance confidently to where we want and need to go, we have to see the road. We travel this road with different levels and ways of knowing. There are two levels of knowing: thinking and feeling. There is the intellectual and there is the intuitive. There is knowledge and there is wisdom. Logic and instinct. And there are two approaches of action: doing and being. In order to step through the ESG doorway and into the places where we are destined to go, we need to continue to upskill ourselves and our organizations, not only from an external perspective of facts and information, but from an internal perspective of mindset and emotional intelligence. This class is the missing link. We’ve created the first ESG upskilling and ‘upminding’ learning & development initiative that takes you on a journey of reflecting on where we are, where we are going, and the steps of how to get there through shifts in our knowing.
