In this last episode of Season 2 of the Nour podcast, under the theme of Courage, I have an incredible conversation with the inspirational, generous and extraordinary, Carey Bohjanen. She is Founder and CEO of The Rallying Cry. Carey operates at the interface between finance, business and society to build more inclusive, equitable and sustainable economies. She drives transformational change, leveraging collective wisdom and untapped potential of people and capital. Carey connects leaders to purpose and passion to develop catalytic, forward-looking responses to our planet’s greatest challenges. In this beautiful conversation, Carey shares her journey and the times in life her inner voice has guided her, and how she has come to understand that one version of courage is the deepest connection to purpose and that sweet spot of heart, heart and gut alignment. We also talk about the incredible work that Carey does at the intersection of gender and climate finance, and how her innovative organisation and team at the Rallying Cry are at the forefront of catalysing new leadership and investment approaches to scale private sector climate and gender solutions in Africa. We unpack how to unlock more gender-smart climate finance and the systemic shifts needed for sustained change. As Carey says " Complex problems require complex solutions, and while its messy, murky and muddy, we have to overcome the fear to build bridges, connect the dots, and act with dignity and respect for everyone". This is also collective courage, and against the backdrop of our biggest societal challenges and climate change, " there is no time for no courage right now ". Show Notes Quote from Marianne Williamson " Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us" Another quote " May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears" by Nelson Mandela Book she is reading: Everyday Ubuntu: Living better together, the African way by Mungi Nagomance More on the organisation that Carey runs at the gender and climate finance nexus in Africa: The Rallying Cry
