I'll also take you through my various coaching packages to help you choose the one that's best for your needs. In just one VIP Strategy Day or 90-days Conscious Coaching package we can easily nut out one (or more) of the following: // your signature system (the 1 thing you'll be known for) // how to package your knowledge and expertise into an online course, membership, consulting or coaching offer // a launch strategy to confidently market your course, product or service in the online space // your sales funnel to increase the attraction and conversion of leads to customers // a crowdfunding campaign that hits its target and proves you the funds you need to grow your business // a roadmap to increase your visibility and get your unique voice out into a crowded space // identify and break through money blocks that are holding you and your business back, including how to charge what you're worth (and get it!)

The traditional mindset of corporates to maximise The traditional mindset of corporates to maximise returns for shareholders is redundant and these days, only companies that are sustainable in the true sense of the word will survive. Think sound environmental practices, a strong human rights record and an inclusive and diverse workforce where every employee can bring their best selves to work. In my latest Eco Chat episode I’m chatting all things corporate sustainability with Dr. Kaushik Sridhar. Kaushik shares how he went from being a professional tennis player to a corporate leader in sustainability, what the current state of play of sustainability is in the corporate world and tips and strategies for corporates to become more sustainable. Tune in here>> https://lauratrotta.com/corporate-sustainability/ If you work in sustainability/ corporate share your best tips for how corporates can become more sustainable below! #ecochat #sustainability #climatechange #corporatesustainability #climatecrisis #climatechangerisk #environmentalengineer #environmentalscientist #sustainabilityprofessional #bethechange

What's a 20-year old creative who is extremely con What's a 20-year old creative who is extremely concerned about the future of our planet to do? Write an adventure novel of course! @Oliver.Smuhar is an award-winning author, is studying Communications Journalism at University of Technology, Sydney and lives in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales Australia, an area ravaged by the horrendous 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires.  These fires burned for months and killed or displaced 3 billion koalas, kangaroos and other animals. A study funded by WWF found that the fires were the worst single event for wildlife in Australia, among the worst in the world and likely pushed some species into extinction.  Shocked and traumatised by the destruction he witnessed during the fires, and deeply concerned about the impact on wildlife, Oliver threw himself into writing an adventure novel to raise funds for environmental projects.  The result is Fireworks and the Fireworks Fund. Fireworks is an adventure story about a koala named Ikuka who explains how he and his friends survived the 2019/2020 bushfires. All proceeds from the sale of Fireworks go to the Fireworks Fund to support environmental charities.  In my latest episode of Eco Chat, Oliver shares why he created FireWorks, what it's like being a young adult in 2021 (spoiler alert - it doesn't sound like much fun being overeducated and  socially distanced!!!) and what advice he has for other young adults who are wanting to do something bigger to help the environment.  Tune in at https://lauratrotta.com/fireworks/  (Link in bio) . . #ecochat #sustainability #sustainableliving #climatecrisis #climatechange #climateaction #climateeducation #consciouskids #ecoliving #bethechange #ecoquote #ecotips #environmentalengineer #environmentalscientist #ecobusiness #ecobusinesscoach #conservation #bushfires #bluemountains #newsouthwales #environmentalist #author #creative #australianwildlife #australia
I get so fired up when I think that humans are the I get so fired up when I think that humans are the only 'animal species' on the planet that destroys their home. And yet, we think we're so friggin' smart.... waaaaayyyyy smarter than any other species in the animal kingdom. I personally think our species has so many failings and the biggest one.... GREED.  Give me a "Hell yeah!" if you agree with me.... . . #sustainability #sustainableliving #climatechange #climateaction #ecoliving #bethechange #ecoquote #ecotips #environmentalengineer #environmentalscientist #ecobusiness #ecobusinesscoach #consumerism #minimalism #greenliving #environmentalist #zerowaste #minimalism #consumerism #ecoconsumerism

This drawing was created by the amazing Shrestha f This drawing was created by the amazing Shrestha from India (aged 10) to share her love of trees and our environment. India is one of hundreds of children from around the globe who care about climate change and who have entered an international kids drawing contest to make their voices heard on this vital issue.  The contest is the brain child of Dr Marji Puotinen (@marjettalp), a coral reef scientist who aims to teach kids around the world about the climate crisis through interactive play and art. Marji meets kids at their level with play dough and LEGO and isn’t afraid to dress up as a coral polyp or penguin to help get the important message of the climate crisis across to young inquisitive minds. In my latest Eco Chat episode Dr Marji shares why she’s focussing on educating kids about the climate crisis rather than adults, how she ensures she doesn’t fuel any anxieties the children may already have about the state of our global environment, and how you can get the children in your life involved by drawing a picture of a tree and in turn have a real tree planted on their behalf. Tune in here>> https://lauratrotta.com/climate-education-kids/ (link in bio) Be sure to encourage the children in your life enter the competition before end June 2021 and have a tree planted on their behalf.

Do you work in the sustainability/ environmental f Do you work in the sustainability/ environmental field and have a big message to share? Written a book lately and want to share it with the world? Are an ordinary person doing extraordinary things to improve our world for generations to come (even if they don't seem extraordinary to you)? If YES I'd love to feature you on my established sustainability podcast Eco Chat. Eco Chat is in it's SIXTH year and has a global audience of people (mostly women) who are passionate about sustainability. Eco Chat doesn't shy away from the BIG issues. We chat about global environmental issues such as climate change and microplastics in oceans but break them down and share actions the everyday person at home can do to help. Whether you work in climate change, conservation, medicine, politics or science I want to help share your message. Interested? Simply submit a pitch of what you'd cover in our episode together via https://lauratrotta.com/contact/ and I'll be in touch to book a time to interview you if your topic aligns with my audience and hasn't been covered before. . . #ecochat #sustainability #sustainahome #podcast #podcaster #ecoliving #sustainableliving #ecobusiness #greenbusiness
We had such a great city escape to Melbourne on th We had such a great city escape to Melbourne on the weekend. The highlight for this champ was a tour of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. 🏏 I love the city of my birth and these days don't get back enough. Was so much fun to experience the highlights with my boys (we also made it to Queen Vic markets) and support some of the struggling CBD businesses and attractions. ❤️ . #melbourne #victoria #mcg #melbournecricketground #queenvictoriamarket #makingmemories #familytime
