Cosmic #8 – Heidi Hautala
January 4, 2019
From Feeling on the Fringes to Becoming VP at the EU Parliament
This was an incredible moment. Here I was, sitting in Heidi’s kitchen after a long day in Brussels. Waiting for us: an intriguing bottle of Georgian wine on the table, and the kind of crackers that you can’t possibly eat while speaking on a microphone.
Heidi Hautala is one of the most inspiring women I ever met and her career speaks for itself. From her childhood spent feeling on the fringes in Northern Finland to starting up the country’s Green party to then becoming Vice President at the European Parliament, her life is full of learnings and inspiring stories. She impacted so many environmental and social issues in her career that it’s hard to cover it all, so we went straight to the core: the why, her life key moments, the change maker mindset and psychology.
We also talked about loneliness and why she is blacklisted in Russia. All this with good laughs, powerful music and politician jokes.
If you like this interview, please remember to share it with someone who will connect to these topics and may feel the same, so we can bring the discussion to the next level across the change makers community.
Speak soon,
Dance, do more, be cosmic.
Camille.
