Wednesday, July 20, 1pm ET - Our Transformational Nature Stories: A Compass for Thriving in Business and Life ASBN Live
By tapping into our experiences with nature, we can renew the profound influence it has on how we feel and how we perceive ourselves and others. From the ground laid by these personal nature experiences, we will explore how nature and its living systems can inform the way we lead in business. Now more than ever, our leadership calls for a wisdom reflecting that humanity is part of nature. 

In this town hall gathering hosted by the Livable Planet Working Group, ASBN members and allies will be invited to evoke a special nature-based experience. Presenters will start things off by sharing their own transformative nature experience, including how it has affected their personal and professional life. Attendees will be led through a process of embodying the power and inspiration of their own nature encounter, and if they wish, they can share it publicly.
