SuperNova #1. “Practice empathy. Everyone that you’re trying to do business with, everyone that you’re trying to help change policy with, everyone that you’re trying to help make a new business decision, everyone’s fighting a battle that you knew nothing about… take a step back from your position.
Through an empathetic lens, look about where their needs are in the whole business, and energy equation and try and come at it from that angle, as opposed to what you’re trying to achieve.”
SuperNova #2. “A message I keep trying to put out is to look at these companies as future partners if we really want to accomplish what we need to accomplish with a global system transformation. Everyone’s got to benefit. Everyone’s got to play a part. Everyone’s got to help solve their own personal solutions.”
SuperNova #3. “Businesses are saving money and gaining financial predictability by sourcing clean energy, as opposed to relying on fossil fuels. As they move their operations out of climate damaging fossil fuel, businesses are taking away their long term liability to the world at the same time. So it’s reducing risk, reducing costs, increasing predictability. And if done right, increasing your market,share as a business, and also increasing both shareholder and employee happiness, which has its own return.”
