Thank you very much for this great article! It was very neat to read and the topic is highly relevant and in my opinion also way too neglected in the community.

At https://www.inoqo.com/ we aim to drive change in the food & beverage industry, which has one of the largest impacts on biodiversity loss. At first we seek to drive change at the level of the supply chain, by giving producers, brands and retailer insights on the impact they currently have and ways to improve. In the future we want to guide consumers based on simple metrics, labels and digital ... (read more)

Thanks for opening up a topic that is in my opinion neglected on an individual basis within the EA community. However, I could make wrong assumptions from a few data points that I have.

I made the observation that a lot of EAs are frequent flyers and wonder if the awareness that offsetting can not be taken as an excuse to choose the plane instead of the train, is high enough.

E.g. within mainland Europe train connections are meanwhile quite good and I would do everything by train or bus that is <500km one way. The only problem is that the train often cost... (read more)

Hey, brilliant idea. I'd love to join the Slack as well. I am an entrepreneur and thinking about trying out to become a content synthesizer and would love to combine this with the most impactful topics. Please add Purpose.foundry@gmail.com Thank you!

Thank you for the great post. I haven't  tried or started coaching actively yet, however can sense through the current leadership position in the startup I co-founded that I gain a lot of motivation and energy by helping other people to solve problems on their own, instead of solving them for them.

I would like to shift more towards active coaching in the next year, pot. starting with some clients within my own company. However, I can see large benefits being connected to a network of other coaches who have slightly different niches and skill sets, as ... (read more)

Hi Simon, I couldn't agree more!  Personally, I invested the ~200 US$ to join noomii.com, which has a coaching circle (you coach someone and someone else coaches you). I've learned a lot from these exchanges with other coaches, although I sometimes do think that it would be interesting to be paired up with someone else within EA. However, since I only coach it part-time, I understand it's not in other's best interest to get paired up with me :) I don't know if you've already met with Lynette Bye, potentially one of the most experienced EA coaches, or been in touch with Sebastian Schmidt (who wrote this post recently, which includes a link to this list of coaches). As far as I know, there is no slack as the one you describe , so I think it would be a really good initiative. If you start it, count me in!

Who are you?

Hi, my name is Simon. I am a physicist, research engineer and data scientist (actually this is rather the transition I went through or am currently undergoing). ATM I am leaving applied photovoltaics research to follow the project of building an app that supports people to purchase more sustainable, socially responsible and healthier products (blog post of our CEO). We are currently validating our idea and assessing the feasibility, so I am always open for new adventures (take a look at the "I'd like to talk about" section).
