Sustainability Leadership: Frameworks, Foundations and Flourishing with Karimah Hudda

Karimah Hudda is the Founder and Chief Catalyst of illumine.earth, with over 20 years of experience in leadership and systems change across diverse sectors, impact areas, companies with a cumulative $80+ Billion in revenue, influencing industries worth over $10 Trillion. Inspired by global challenges, she developed the Flourishing Futures Framework to guide visionary leaders towards a future that benefits all. Her unique perspective comes from roots in small-town India, expanding to living in multiple countries and working across five continents, while traveling in nearly 50 countries, fostering a deep sense of connection across our global human and planetary ecosystem.

In this episode, Karimah joins Bex for a conversation about leadership in sustainability and the need for systems change. We zoom out to examine and challenge the current frameworks that corporate sustainability sits within and how these can not only be counterproductive to the ultimate goals, but also limiting to the personal development of professionals in the industry.

Join us to learn about the Flourish Framework, why systems change is deeply needed in tackling social and environmental issues, how to care for yourself and colleagues when facing sustainability anxiety or burnout, and how to build a personal and professional life that aligns with your own sustainability values.

This episode will resonate with anyone (interested in) working in sustainability, holistic professional wellbeing and systems change. All listeners are welcome.
