Words of Wisdom

Solving a problem is only half the work. Communicating the solution, clearly, confidently, and compellingly, is what turns ideas into real-world impact. In this episode, Michael Liebreich (Managing Partner, EcoPragma Capital; CEO, Liebreich Associates) joins Maryam Al Qubaisi (Director, International Relations Office, Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure, UAE) to explore the intersection of communication and leadership. They discuss the future of clean energy, the role of storytelling in climate action, and why leaders must spend as much time sharing what they’ve learned as they do building solutions. An essential conversation for anyone shaping the future of sustainable energy.

What do you do when the rooms, networks, or opportunities you need aren’t built for you? You build your own and bring others with you. In this episode, Jessica Robinson (Partner, Solve Strategies) and Michelle Li (Co-Founder & Executive Director, Women & Climate NYC) explore what it means for women to lead with purpose, create their own platforms, and shape global change from the ground up. From network-building to breaking systemic barriers, they share practical insights for women navigating sustainability, leadership, and influence. A powerful discussion on courage, community, and rewriting the rules.
