The Circular Life

Excited to give out our new 🌱plantable 🌱 business cards tomorrow

The 🌸meadow paper🌸 is embedded with 20 types of live wildflower seeds native to the UK so - once you have stored our email, and followed our socials of course 😉 - you can plant it in a pot and start to bloom 🌼🐝

PLANTING GUIDE

Step 1
Tear up the paper into smaller chunks, and soak them well in water for half a minute.

Step 2
Plant the soaked paper under a very thin layer of soil, and water them each day to keep them moist but don't overwater them. Place in the sunniest, warmest place in your house.

Step 3
Once you see some shoots, allow them to get stronger before planting outside in Spring or Autumn. Germination could take up to a few weeks.

Send us a DM and say hello if you're around tomorrow or Thursday 💚🌍

And thanks to for the fab cards 🌝

This week, we're sharing our first session - will you join us? 💫

LEARN TO TACKLE THE IMPOSTER

70% of people face imposter syndrome or symptoms at some point.

It's that sinking feeling when:

➡︎ You don't feel you know 'enough' or see your achievements

➡︎ You feel like an imposter.

Let's change the narrative.

We're inviting PEOPLE WHO WORK IN SUSTAINABILITY or GREEN IMPACT BIZUNESSES to join us and:

🥸 Learn to recognise imposter symptoms and explore under the surface.

🥸 Learn and practice tools that can stop your imposter in its tracks

🥸 Connect with like-minded sustainability professionals to learn and grow together

Friday 1st December - 12-1 pm - online

{{Take a moment to look at nature. 
A houseplant, a garden, a park etc…

Now, REALLY look at it

Notice the shape, the colours, the patterns  
Notice the curves, the way it grows, 

The subtle shifts to access the best light 
How roots curve and explore to find nutrients 

Notice the contrast between the mature leaves and the new shoots 
What's growing close by that helps it flourish?

Nature is acutely aware of its own surroundings and how to thrive in its given situation. 

What can you learn from this? }}

66% of consumers have avoided a particular brand for environmental reasons. What does that mean for you?

That your profitability and customer satisfaction are entwined with your environmental business ethics.

This number is only set to increase, which means that making ethical and environmentally friendly choices is now the practical approach to business growth.

A sustainable focus starts with people.

Choosing to run a sustainable business is not the easy option. It takes determination, ingenuity, and hard work, that's why the first step in choosing to be more sustainable needs to start with people who will be leading the plan, and also those around them.

Taking steps to become more sustainable doesn't just happen with facts and figures. It takes a mindset change, and that human understanding that your sustainability plan might not be perfect, but it's a start!

It needs to be a decision by the people, for the people, but we're here to help! If you need support with your mindset shift, or perhaps onboarding a team with your sustainability plan, then get in touch!

What's your business ethos?

The Business Ethos for A Circular Life:
Most businesses only achieve a fraction of their potential because they see a business as a way of making money, or providing a service or solution. We think businesses can be much much more - businesses can be an awesome way of life, and interconnected with life, if you design it the right way.

Our Kind Business Ethos draws on:
. You are the centre of your journey.
. What inspires your business to create positive environmental or social change?
. We are nature.
. How are fellow humans treated through your business experience?
. How does your business impact peoples physical, mental and emotional health?
. Imagine if every business had a pocket of impactful giving at the heart of its business model

Check out our Ethos page (https://www.circularlife.co.uk/ethos) to find out more about what it means to be a Circular Life Business - and then tell us, what's your ethos?

Why invest in a coach?

Knowledge, focus, growth. Like any element of your life that you want to actively improve upon, choosing to work with someone who will help you grow and provide expert sector knowledge is key. Think of an athlete training for a race; even with elite skills, they choose to work with a coach who builds their training programme, helps them hone their skills and ultimately succeed.

A business coach is the same; find an expert who can focus your mind and your business skills to develop a programme that works for you!

Do you have any questions about coaching? Send us a message and we'll help you find what you need!

While building a sustainable business might be a personal decision for some, for most it's a part of a wider conversation around the effects that business, especially big business, has on the environment.

In a recent Guardian article it was stated that building a green economy could stop 'nightmare' degradation of the Amazon. We don't need to spoon feed you around how harmful the loss of the Amazon could be for the environment as a whole. But the idea that small choices to incorporate the green economy can help put a stop to this loss is something that should be highlighted. It's a great reason to introduce more sustainable methods into your business or team!

Without the encouragement of the green economy and everyone introducing sustainable business methods into their work environment we could lose not only the Amazon Rainforest but also an irreversible change in our fight on Climate Change.

Talk to us today to find out what small choices can make a big impact within your business!
