[0:32] About Ann Bueche and her journey.

• Ann is a lead consultant and founder of Be Kind. (re)Design. She works at the intersection of global and local to increase livability and protect the plane.
• As per Ann, We all bring our experiences and learning to the table. We are shaped by geography, time, role models, and our capacity to learn and unlearn.
• Her diversity of lived experiences, from growing up in a walkable downtown neighborhood in a small manufacturing city to professional studies and work around the U.S. and the world, including Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Italy, England, Poland, Indonesia, and Hungary shape how I view and interact with my colleagues, peers, and clients.
• Today, her main focus is how best our human communities can exist and serve our neighbors well while preserving and regenerating nature.

[02:22]- Tell me about Be Kind. (re)Design and what you do here.

• Be Kind. (re)Design is my effort as an independent consultant, which I started in my early 40s. I followed a long trajectory of an international career where I worked in international development.
• I left my full-time work and studied small business management and interior design.
• I am a focused, kind change agent who designs and facilitates programs to engage people and improve services. Each program and intervention are a step towards needed culture shifts – permanent changes in behavior and thinking. I am an internationalist, bringing a global perspective to local issues in the U.S. and globally.
• Current areas of interest include Sustainability, Resilience, Planetary Health, Social Justice, Environmental Justice, Governance, Local Government Service Delivery, Livable Communities, Walkability, Equity Planning, and Restorative Efforts (environmental and social).

[23:50]- What three lessons do you want our viewers & listeners to take away from your journey?

• We need to take cues from ourselves regarding personal well-being. Listen to your body and see what your body is telling you.
• Shared experiences are precious. The more we can share our experiences, the better we may be on for as far as well-being is concerned.
• Protect the planet that we have. There is only one planet, and we are only 8 billion on it, but we cannot be around ourselves until we look after the earth.
