Bio
Ula Howlett aka UlaSuperConnector
I have recently participated in the 'Hack Your Box for a Sustainable Life' online training Sophie has organised, as I wanted to use this session to trigger new ideas and move away from the negative feelings I have around Climate Change. I wanted to channel that energy onto something positive, and I was pleasantly surprised! I came away from the meeting excited with a burning desire to involve my family and take actions that actually mean something! Thank you so much for the needed motivation, Sophie! :)
Mike Strange
Working with Sophie was an absolute joy, she managed to pull from us a coherent message about what Helm is and how our customers could perceive it. She facilitated 3 opinionated people and somehow, as if by magic, brought our thoughts into an aligned, clear story. She works in a way that is fun, but driven to results and massively accelerated our time to launch. We cannot thank you enough and hope to work with you again!

Engaging people to rethink the world we live in. The 2030 SDG Game is an experiential game simulating what the world might look like in 2030. This interactive game uses the essence of the UN Sustainable Development Goals to provide real context and highlight the interconnections and impact of all our actions, individual or collective, on the world. Whilst playing, participants spend time and money to run projects, dive into a reflection phase on their impact in the game world before linking it back to real life world. Show less
