Episode description

Freya Williams is a force to be reckoned with in the world of sustainability. With over 20 years experience, she's advised the boards of some of the world's most well-known organisations, from Coca-Cola and Unilever to the United Nations. She's also the author of 'Green Giants: How Smart Companies Turn Sustainability into Billion Dollar Businesses'.

But in 2020 her career came to a halt. After contracting Covid, Freya was left unable to work for 3 years. Then, while on the road to recovery, Freya had to face a life-threatening heart condition.

So what has she learned about the nature of burnout and its effects on our health? How does she approach her sustainability work now?

Hannah Phang sat down with Freya to find out, in the inaugural episode of The Now Work's new podcast, 'The Future of Impact Work', brought to you by Hannah Phang, Laura Hunter and Sarah Penrhyn-Jones.
