Cri de Cœur means “a cry from the heart; a heartfelt or sincere appeal." It’s a phrase that demonstrates the meaning of advocacy, which harnesses individual power to create shared awareness and collective action. This podcast focuses on how advocacy on climate can - and must - manifest within our own sphere of influence. In this series, Cambray Crozier interviews leaders - from chefs, to bankers, to polar explorers - who share their insights, experiences and reflections about their approach to advocacy: how they wield influence, build coalitions, communicate and share knowledge, and work to facilitate civic engagement. We take a close look at some of the personal skills needed to be effective in the role of a “change agent” so each of us can bring about actual positive change for sustainability. New episodes are released monthly!
