#70 Peter Lipman: Taking Risks for Cultural Change
Manage episode 322674658 series 2762715
Peter Lipman is the former (founding) chair of Transition Network and Common Cause Foundation. He also chaired the UK government’s Department for Energy and Climate Change’s Community Energy Contact Group. He’s been a teacher, a co-operative worker, an intellectual property lawyer, and worked at UK charity Sustrans, latterly as external affairs director, before setting up Anthropocene Actions, a community interest company that promotes fair, loving, and ecologically regenerative societies.
He addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:
- That cultural change towards empathy and connection will help address challenges and “be an enormously important part of that having a go, that holding that belief that we can do better”
- The call to experiment more, “take more risks and be much more loving, and see where it gets us”
- The need to find peace with paradox; “it's about acting now with urgency… from a place of calm and not seeking to control outputs, outcomes; of kind of going with what emerges”
