Regenerative Leadership
Mentor, Advisor & Consultant
Emmanuelle Aoustin
Who I am
I am both a mapmaker and a traveler of the regenerative transition.
I help business leaders develop and strengthen their regenerative leadership skills so that they can thrive at bringing positive impact at scale.
What I am especially interested in is how the combination of scientific evidence, self-awareness and the human factors of change can accelerate the profound transition that’s needed in business.
From developing impact assessment capabilities in a large organization to leading a multinational sustainability consultancy, I have a proven track record of shaping better ways of doing business and helping leaders and their teams do so.
My background is steeped in environmental science and I enjoy translating data and concepts into meaningful and actionable business insights. I have a mindset of constant learning and growing to be a more powerful enabler of the complex ecological and social transitions at stake.
I am French and have lived in 7 different countries spanning 5 continents. I speak both English and French and I thrive in multi-cultural environments. I work well with highly committed leaders and creative teams. I also care deeply for more humanity and empathy in the business world.
Simply put, I am passionate about accelerating the change that’s needed to shape a better future.
What I do
I support business leaders in their transition to regenerative leadership.
I work with business leaders who understand the importance of sustainability, but who are ready to lead the bigger shift to a regenerative economy.
Do you identify as a courageous purpose-driven leader? If so, I am here to partner with you to embrace, shape and activate regenerative change – no matter what stage you are at in your journey.
You might be at the beginning of the journey and seek support to understand what is at stake, and how your business can shift into the new paradigm.
Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to help regenerative leaders like you step up to the challenge in a well-supported and structured way.
I’ll bring a wealth of sustainability practices, scientific knowledge, business experience and leadership tools.
Together we can:
- strengthen your knowledge base,
- assess the gaps to target for your business,
- define an authentic and powerful purpose,
- design engaging learning experiences for your teams,
- shape the strategy,
- and set the roadmap to get there.
In short, my mission is to help you feel empowered and well-equipped to lead the charge, and to steer your business into the regenerative paradigm.

What is regenerative leadership
Regenerative leadership is what it takes to transform business as a force for good.
I believe business leaders have the potential to accelerate the transition to a regenerative economy.
Climate change, biodiversity loss and inequalities are ravaging the world. We have to act now to ensure a better future, a regenerative world for human prosperity and a flourishing planet.
The regenerative transition is a radical shift for the business world, from being reactive and doing less harm (which has traditionally been the responsibility of sustainability leaders) to being proactive and thriving while solving our world’s biggest problems (which is the responsibility of all business leaders).
It requires change agents who are well-equipped to steer their businesses into a new paradigm.
Such leaders are those who are brave enough to lead beyond the status quo, to align their values and actions, and make an impact in the world.
All in all, regenerative leaders are part of a positive movement to transform business as a force for good.
What inspires me
I constantly seek ways to be a more powerful enabler of the complex ecological and social transitions at stake.
Here is some of what inspires my work today.
Deep Ecology
Philosopher Arne Næss’s deep ecology theory considers that all of nature has value and should be respected irrespective of its benefits for human use. It encourages to radically transform our relationship with nature and acknowledge our interdependence.
Work that reconnects
Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects follows a spiral of practices: Gratitude, Honoring Our Pain for the World, Seeing with New Eyes, and Going Forth. It helps experience our innate connections with each other and transform despair or overwhelm into inspired collaborative action.

Climate Fresk
Fresk of the human factor
The Fresk of the Human Factor is a collaborative workshop that helps understand the evolution of our behavior in the face of current transitions. It helps identify the cognitive levers that increase our capacity to act in the face of climate urgency.
Theory U
Theory U is a change management process and set of methodologies. It helps build the shift in consciousness and the leadership capacities needed to meet today’s challenges in a more conscious, intentional, and strategic way in order to create a future of greater possibilities.
