The sustainable life

Ciannat Howett
A member of the Green Team in Atlanta, Ciannat Howett (pronounced key-nut) shares her successful plan of building the greenest university in the country as the Sustainability Initiatives Director at Emory. Ciannat is Director of Sustainability Initiatives at Emory University, which boasts the largest square footage of energy-efficient buildings in the nation. The school is nearly halfway through an ambitious 10-year plan that is reducing energy use and changing behaviors about the environment. Now Howett has turned her attention to embedding sustainability in the curriculum of every academic department.

Margaret Weniger, Career Story Collector

Margaret Weniger

What if everything you’ve been taught about building a successful career no longer applies?

Margaret Weniger has spent years exploring that question from both sides of the table. As director of entrepreneurial programs for CREATE-X at Georgia Institute of Technology, she helps founders navigate uncertainty while building companies designed for the future. As a technology sales executive, leadership strategist and author of “Broken,” she has interviewed hundreds of professionals, founders and executives to understand why some people emerge from career disruption stronger than before.

Margaret’s work sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, leadership and the changing nature of work. Drawing from her own unconventional career and years of research, she challenges long-held assumptions about success, ambition and what it really takes to build a meaningful career in a world that refuses to stand still.

At TEDxAtlanta, Margaret invites us to rethink one of the most familiar ideas about work. The answer may change not only how you think about your career, but also how you approach whatever comes next.
