In this episode, we are joined by Climate Resilience Officer for the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN), Kristin Baja (\\u2018Baja\\u2019). Baja and her colleagues at USDN are change makers to the core, dedicating their lives to some of today\\u2019s most critical challenges \\u2013 namely, climate change, racial equity, and sustainability. With more than 249 local governments and 1,700 practitioners in its network, USDN is a members-led non-profit that continues to grow as these challenges increasingly gain attention on a global scale. Our discussion with Baja centers around a reframing of the way we view ourselves, our communities, our relationship to power, and our planet altogether. We explore how effecting change in a larger-than-life space like Sustainability comes with a unique set of obstacles \\u2013 and why practitioners in this world have so much to gain from coaching, which offers the adaptability to address those obstacles in a way that meets each individual\\u2019s bespoke needs.
