Anyone following the public discourse on #carbonmarkets saw the latest reporting on the important issue of baselines for forest carbon projects. Rather than reacting to sensational claims, I want to offer a broader perspective on the challenges/opportunities of this sector.

1/n Reading only headlines would leave one with a gross misperception about the state and potential of this space. While it’s true that there is an alarming number of projects that are over-credited, there are plenty of projects operating today delivering a clear, measurable impact.

Today a candidate asked me in an interview how have I grown as a CEO and leader since my early days.

Firstly, I loved that he asked me that. A job interview is a two way discovery of common fit for working together.

Now, this is what I said: 1- I've worked on bringing more awareness to my emotions. I practice meditation daily to maintain that.

2- I've studied non-violent communication to be more effective in conflict situations.

3- I've learned to lean head-on into difficult conversations, with radical candor.
