Climate Drift

We’re building Climate Drift to move 1M professionals into Climate. Here's how 👇

👉 We help mid-career professionals find their first leadership role in climate through the Climate Drift Career Accelerator (All-in). 
(Apply here: https://tally.so/r/m6Z955)

👉 We run the best Climate Community for executive and senior professionals (Easy first-step).
(Apply here: (https://tally.so/r/mDbGv5)

👉 We run a FREE “Find Your Climate Niche” email Learning Course (Dip your toes).
(Get it here: https://tally.so/r/wodXoP )


So far we're onto something.

Our last Climate Drift Career Accelerator cohort received a Net Promotor Score (NPS) of 75 and 4.7/5 star rating from senior professionals who are notoriously hard to impress.

Plus we’re getting reviews like this: 😍

1️⃣ “This is truly like no cohort out there! (I've done a few). The intimate community setting and amazing, intelligent speakers are unmatched.”

2️⃣ “I’ve already gotten tremendous value out of the course; specifically the action-oriented nature of the course (learning + doing, not just learning) and the orientation towards landing a career in climate and HOW to do it”

3️⃣ ”I learned SO MUCH and feel 10x more equipped for my climate career goals than before.”

4️⃣ “10 out of 10: The content is in-depth and interesting, and gives the cohort opportunities to get involved by tackling challenges hands on (which in my opinion, is the best way to learn!)


We do all of this in partnership with World-class Climate VCs and Climate Tech Companies 🙏

Product Manager for UX

Jana

It's a start-up and we wear many fancy hats around here. My favorite hat is Product Management.

Creating new products for our B2B platform means starting with use cases, sketching wire frames and writing detailed product specifications. Every product feature we build, I test myself and communicate consistently with engineering to deliver scalable solutions.

When I don't work on our core research product I optimize landing pages, test lead generation strategies through case studies and run global research projects for our Fortune 500 clients.

I also instituted a weekly ice-cream budget which benefits... well, mostly me!

Product Manager

“**Daddy, what have you done to keep Mother Earth healthy?**”  👉 Having a good answer for my kids when this Q hits is my personal North Star.

Over the last decade, I bootstrapped my technical education company to be the market leader (60+ NPS), helped 1,000s of people transition careers, sold the first $2M in revenue by myself, got acquired by the fastest growing EdTech company in the US, and scaled the entire online offering to 8-figures ARR in year 1, leading to a $750M acquisition. 

And learning an unbelievable amount of company-building skills (12 to 500 to 4,000 people).

Today, I use all this experience for my next chapter: 

Transitioning 1M people into the Climate Economy. 

My portfolio:
> I’m on the board of 3 high-impact organizations in climate and education. 
> I mentor impact entrepreneurs through the Edmund Hillary Fellowship.
> I built one 6-figure, one 7-figure, and one 8-figure business.

Marco Morawec

I’m ALL about lifting others up.

And I asked my friend Eugene Kirpichov to send me a 1 min video.

Explaining what he does at Work on Climate.

(One of the most respected Climate non-profits I know).

So others can get behind it.

And just to be clear:

I’ve donated my time (I’m on the WOC board) and money (whatever I could give) to WOC before.

And will continue to do so.

Yes, I am building Climate Drift.

Yes, we’re moving a lot of people into climate (we focus exclusively on senior /exec level).

But I never looked at this game as a zero-sum, winner takes all.

Eugene and I have been supporting and helping each other for years.

Go do the same and pick WOC as the non-profit you support this holiday season.

And please tell Eugene what you liked best about his 1-minute pitch in the comments.

(he hates that I make him do those pitch videos 🤣).


Let’s go!

*** OPPORTUNITY ALERT ***

Introducing PIVOT FOR IMPACT from the Endless Foundation and TechChange --> a new FREE accelerator program for social impact leaders who know their organizations are in some kind of pivot moment and want real support navigating it.

The program is designed to help teams rethink their business models, clarify their value proposition, and build the skills (sales and otherwise) needed to move toward more resilient and diversified paths forward.

What you’ll work on:

--> Redefine or update your business model in ways that fit today’s funding reality
 --> Sharpen your value proposition so partners actually understand what you offer
 --> Build practical sales skills to grow revenue beyond traditional grants
 --> Develop a more adaptive mindset around partnerships, pricing, and sustainability
 --> Create a clear, realistic path forward that aligns with your mission and capacity

Learn more and register: pivot.course.tc 

Nick’s Take: Very excited about this one. With so much turmoil in the sector this year with the global aid freeze, we’ve been in close touch with our partners at the Endless Foundation and felt strongly that this was the right moment to launch something substantial.  The goal is to bring fresh, creative, and practical ideas to organizations trying to pivot, while also honoring how hard this work actually is.

Community matters here. New skills matter. New networks and access to more diverse funding options matter. And this accelerator is meant to bring all of that together.

You’ll notice the structure: an open six-week portion where as many orgs as possible can join, learn, and experiment. And then a deeper, more applied phase you can apply for orgs who want want hands-on coaching, deeper guidance, more skills training, and exposure to new funders and clients. We want this to be both accessible and genuinely useful.

Would love to have some of you join us on this journey... and would appreciate you spreading the word to anyone who might benefit.

Program kicks off in Jan. 

Sharing is CARING. Tag someone who might be ready .

Do you have someone in your world who could use a little extra job-seeking support as we head into the holiday season?

This time of year can feel rough. Budgets freeze. Hiring slows. People start questioning their next steps, their confidence, their direction. sometimes one conversation with the right person can shift things.

That’s why we set up Impact Coach (impactcoach dot com).

And this year we're making it easy to gift someone a coaching session that meets them exactly where they are.
 
Could be:
 ✔ Interview prep
 ✔ Resume + CV support
 ✔ LinkedIn strategy
 ✔ Building routines + accountability
 ✔ Or just getting unstuck long enough to feel momentum again

We’ve got 50+ incredible coaches working across global development, philanthropy, climate, tech-for-good, and more. Whether you want to help a friend, a colleague, or a team member… there’s someone in the collective who will be a great fit.

Packages start at $199, and you can gift a single session or a small bundle. 

Seen a lot of folks this year go from “I have no idea what’s next” to landing a role that feels aligned and meaningful… so yes, I’m pretty convinced this stuff works.

If you’re curious whether for someone else or for yourself take a look at the coaches and packages here:

 👉 impactcoach dot com (or DM me  or Caroline Ouwerkerk) and we’ll point you in the right direction)

Let’s make sure people aren’t going into the new year feeling alone.

Sharing is CARING.

Opportunity Alert: Relationship Building Session!!!

Trying something fun next month with my friend Caroline Ouwerkerk... a little spin on her signature Happy Hour(kerk) series, but this time we’re bringing it inside Kolab.

If you’ve never been to one of Caroline’s facilitated networking sessions, they’re honestly super fun.  No panel fatigue, no “go around and introduce yourself” chaos. Just intentional connection with people doing meaningful work.

And because we’re hosting it on Kolab, we get to play around with some of the stuff we built this year — games, movement on the canvas, spatial audio, small-group flows that feel way closer to IRL than anything you’ve used online.

Event details are in the graphic below, but here’s the quick version:

Monday, Dec 15
Noon ET / 9 AM PT
Free + open to all

If you’ve been curious about Kolab or just want to meet other folks building cool things in the social impact space… grab a spot while there’s room.
Would love to see some friendly faces.

 Sharing is CARING.
