Judith has over 20 years experience in Marketing, Communications and Behaviour Change, and was previously a Communications Director and Head of Marketing in the UK Government. She started her career in P&G and Coca Cola.
She founded Climate Habits when she saw that there was an opportunity for a workplace sustainability programme that built on the decades of research about health behaviour change to create more meaningful engagement and greater personal impact.

Steph has worked in communications and digital products for 20 years, from market research to digital agencies. He founded, grew and sold his agency business, where clients ranged from British Antarctic Survey and Committee on Climate Change to McKinsey and L’Oréal.

Melissa Case CBE, Coaching
Melissa is an executive and leadership coach, working mainly with clients in the public, academic and charitable sectors. While as a former policy lead in central government she has experience of trying to influence behaviour change at a systemic level, she is really excited about how coaching can support individuals’ beliefs in their own agency to make the changes they want to see in the world. Melissa is also a mindfulness and yoga teacher, and chair of a small charity focusing on medical education in East Africa.
