Meet Nikki Silvestri, a serial nonprofit executive director who now helps social and environmental entrepreneurs find more impact in their work and joy in their lives. Her consulting firm Soil and Shadow advises organizations by using the ecological principles of healthy soil as a guidepost.

Silvestri is also a senior advisor at JumpScale, a firm that counsels investors and philanthropists on their financial well-being. In this position, she co-hosts an online series called “Pandemic Response: The New Normal Series” that features conversations centered around how best to adapt to life during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our conversation covers her early connection to regenerative principles, how generating more presence and joy might be the key to saving society, and how she’s ready to chain herself to something because the time for gentle negotiation is over.
