Juliana Gutiérrez had a unique upbringing that shaped her passion for helping others. During her childhood, she often accompanied her parents on voluntary medical missions to impoverished rural areas.

(Thread) 🌍💚 The world is facing incredible challenges, and leaders in the impact space are doing their best to create positive change. But it's not easy. I had the pleasure of speaking with Juliana Gutiérrez on my podcast, and she shared some incredible insights. Here's a thread: 1️⃣ Being an entrepreneur in a country like Colombia comes with its own set of challenges. Accessing funding opportunities and connecting with the international agenda can be difficult. But that doesn't stop passionate individuals from working towards solutions. 2️⃣ In fact, 72% of entrepreneurs suffer from mental health problems, according to a study by Berkeley. In Latin America, 6 out of 10 entrepreneurs experience mental health issues. Are these the very same individuals trying to innovate and create solutions within a system that is causing illness? 3️⃣ Juliana's journey in the past two years has been focused on understanding how regenerative leadership can heal individuals and the systems they work in. This concept highlights that we are part of an ecosystem and need to shift from a narrative of separation to cooperation with nature. 4️⃣ We need constant regeneration, just like our bodies do. But the damage caused by linear thinking and our economic system has led to ecosystems that can no longer be regenerated. We're exceeding six planetary boundaries necessary for our own survival. 5️⃣ That's where initiatives like low carbon cities come in. The global south has valuable solutions to offer, but it's crucial to make their message broader and get recognition and resources from the international agenda. 6️⃣ Juliana's organization focuses on educating for climate-friendly lifestyles and promoting collaboration among different stakeholders. They believe in a bottom-up approach to climate governance, empowering individuals regardless of location. 7️⃣ Collaborative leadership and applying knowledge from academia can bring practical solutions to pressing issues. Being an entrepreneur means taking on more responsibility, but it's worth it when you see the positive impact you can make. 8️⃣ Climate change is a growing concern, and it's causing mental stress. The current system focuses on countries and institutions, not on collective governance. We need to offer opportunities to engage and create collaborative spaces for everyone. 9️⃣ Colombia faces unique challenges in terms of environment and social inequality. But there are talented and innovative individuals working to solve climate and social crises in the country. We need to support their efforts and learn from their experiences. 🌱💪 The power to heal ourselves and the systems we work in lies in regenerative leadership and embracing our interconnectedness with nature. Let's work together to create a sustainable and thriving future. Thank you, Juliana Gutiérrez, for sharing your wisdom on the podcast! #RegenerativeLeadership #Sustainability #ClimateAction (End of thread)
