Climate, Environment and Social Issues
I help people to make sense of the rapidly changing world we’re in, and to imagine and build the relationships, cultures and resilience that we need both now and in times ahead.
My keynotes, talks, and interactive forums bring powerful, relatable, useful insights with carefully curated content on climate, behavioural and social psychology to illuminate, inform and inspire people, both at an individual and collective level.
I’ve been a professional speaker for over 30 years, meeting the needs of a wide range of people and groups - boards, senior managers, teams, professionals, communities. Here are just some of the topics I cover and all of them can be delivered as Talks or Workshops, or as a mixture of both:
From eco-anxiety to resilience: strategies for wellbeing in an uncertain, rapidly changing world.
Doom or hopium? What can climate psychology teach us about getting the right balance in mainstream climate communications?
What’s mine to do? Living with purpose in a time when everything seems to be collapsing and the familiar is dying.
If “Asifism” (living as if nothing is wrong, or needs to change, or will run out) is the problem - what is the bearable, progressive alternative?
Making meaning from metacrisis - what’s happening, and how do we respond kindly, wisely and purposefully?
Let’s decide together: how Citizens Assemblies can build democratic, resilient, adaptive, sustainable communities.
Time to think: how to create the kinds of conditions that ignite the briliance of the human mind
How can I talk to friends and family about climate change in a productive way?

Here’s what staff at Wavemaker Global said about an in-house talk on climate psychology, eco-anxiety and building resilience in October 2024:
“It was an amazing session, with a great balance of content, moments of reflection and participation. I really loved the safe space it offered and the practical resilience strategies Linda shared.”
“Linda’s session covered a wide range of topics and ensured a safe, confidential space for honest reflection on how the issues affect our personal and professional lives.”
“I was really inspired to hear Linda’s personal story and how she built her own resilience when she faced adversity in her professional life; her passion for activism and transformational change was eye-opening. Moreover, I truly enjoyed spending some quality time discussing such important matters with my colleagues.”
And here’s some feedback on a session in May 2025 for the Climate Coaching Alliance, “Collapse-aware coaching - making meaning from metacrisis” , in which I partnered with Liz Hall, editor of Coaching at Work magazine and mindfulness teacher and coach.
“Thank you Linda for such a powerful session. So well informed and held. Your depth of research and understanding of the subject was clear for all to see, and it’s not an easy awareness to help others turn toward. The compassionate holding was palpable, transformational and so very much appreciated. Grateful for who you are and how you show up Linda and Liz - such a powerful collaboration / combination.”
