Join us as we explore the passion, creativity, and purpose behind the most inspiring spaces and projects and dive deep with those who create them consistently. I'm your host, Nikki Klugh, and I'll be your guide as we journey through the hearts and minds of sacred space architects and designers who are driven by compassion and authenticity. _________________________________________________ Robert Charles Bio: Robert Otis Charles was born in the projects of East Orange, New Jersey. He is a descendant of Costa Rican and West-Indian parents. Robert is the second youngest of four children. Robert established his career based on his creative talents. He developed his passion for multi-disciplinary creativity around the age of five. He held on to his creativity because he was very limited in his physical ability because of his long-term battle with chronic asthma and his encounter with bone cancer at age 21. Robert drew with crayons; built with his beloved Lego and wooden blocks; built go-carts and tree houses of wood; built scale models; supported his father in providing professional photography; and initiated an ongoing livelihood with the trumpet all before his teenage years. He was introduced to architecture by his older sibling and developed a distinct love for architectural design at the age of twelve. His father, (Neil Charles, Sr.), kindled his fire for drawing with excellence. “Pop” Charles purchased Robert's first drafting table shortly after his demonstrated commitment to architecture, drawing, and building. Robert's father continually invested in his career from his youth and procured a large loan that initiated his architectural college training. Robert was educated at Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University where he received both his undergraduate and professional degrees in Architecture. He has received several architectural awards including the distinguished Alpha Roe Chi Medal of Leadership, Service, and Merit, and led design on award-winning projects over his 30-year career. He is a current member of the American Institute of Architects and the lead design architect at LBA Architects. Also, in 1998, Robert established ROC STUDIOS INTERNATIONAL, INC which is his own multi-disciplinary design studio. His studio provides visual arts, creative branding, and professional photography. The following famous architects and artists influence his style of designing buildings and producing graphic works. The architects that inspire Robert are Frank Lloyd Wright, Kenzo Tange, Le Corbusier, Richard Meier, Frank Gehry, Santiago Calatrava, Eliel Saarinen, and Alvar Aalto. Artists like Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne, and Georges Braque inspire Robert's style of producing abstract graphics. Photographers such as Neil Charles, Sr., Ansel Adams, David Eggleston, and a host of others influence Robert's photography. Prominent political officials, doctors, lawyers, architects, business leaders, bishops, pastors, other artists, organizations, churches, and the general public have collected his artworks and photography.

She is responsible for sustainability as a management approach that holistically optimizes our economic, social, and environmental impact. In her role leading sustainability at Genesys, Bridgette drives our stakeholder engagement, education, and the evolution of the sustainable strategy and programs across Genesys. She also leverages sustainability metrics to track our non-financial performance and deliver integrated reports to our stakeholders Bridgette has over 20 years of experience in sustainability leadership roles across multiple sectors, including the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), where she most recently led corporate strategy and engagement for WWF's Freshwater and Food goals, Global Director of Sustainability for KFC, where she headed all sustainability issues for the brand, internally within Yum! Brands and externally with various sustainability stakeholders, and operations roles that were part of NASA's Space Shuttle and Mars Rover programs. She holds a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and an MBA in Strategy from the Drucker School of Management. Bridgette Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Creating the foundation of sustainability at Genesys Advice for finding and hiring good sustainability talent Quantifying product use emissions Strategies to align sustainability with work from home Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Bridgette's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? Don't underestimate the power of two words: value and differentiation. Value, because one, it's usually not a group that has P&L responsibility, but you need to show that you can drive pipeline, help with attrition and retention. You have to show all the value that sustainability brings to the business so that it's a value proposition, not just a buzzword. Differentiation is how do you use it to set you apart from your competitors? Use it as a way to help put the company in a different lens than it usually would, and show that value. Show all the intangible values of sustainability, not just the tangible ones, all the qualifiable values, not just the quantifiable ones. That will help you to really get it elevated versus it sitting in the middle of the organizations as some people struggle with. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? I'm excited that I'm starting to see a lot of emphasis on intersectionality. For so long I felt that people felt like they could only talk about one pillar at a time. It's either an environmental conversation or a diversity conversation or a governance conversation. But those should be integrated. There should be an integrated, holistic approach to how we look at sustainability, because when those things are looked at in tandem, when we integrate it, we get the real wins. I'm glad to see that even organizations are starting to restructure to be that way and not silo out the work. When that happens I just feel like the work is really not as impactful as it should be. What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read? Because of all the time reading all these white papers and case studies, I like to read things that are way more inspiring and motivating and so far away from sustainability. However, I just started reading Net Positive by Paul Polman and Andrew Winston. I'm enjoying that book. It highlights the way we look at traditional CSR or philanthropy or impact, however your organization refers to it, is just not adequate for where we are today. That we, as leaders in this space, really need to rethink about how we drive the business differently and how we can be the change that we want to see. Another book that has been extremely impactful is Stamped From the Beginning by Ibram X Kendi. It talks about and it details how racist ideas were created, spread and deeply rooted in society. It's thought-provoking and intense, but it's a fantastic read. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? I have a few different distribution lists that I'm on like GreebBiz Weekly. I get a lot of things where I can see a lot of articles. Our marketing team also does a fantastic job of scouring the industry or all the latest sustainability news to make sure that we can have a pulse on what's happening. So that's been extremely useful for me as having that inside outlook and then getting it from different shareholders or key stakeholders across sustainability when I get to see different articles. The climate pledge also being a part of that; you get to see what's happening across different signatories. It's always good to be able to benchmark and look how you're trending against all the different other companies that have the same commitments.
