- 6:36The 60% Rule | Radha Adhar | TEDxCaledonian Intl School YouthIn “The 60% Rule,” Radha Adhar explores the idea that there are moments in your personal and professional life where you need to bring more than the usual 50 percent to a relationship to enable a major breakthrough. While meeting in the middle most of the time is the right thing to do, sometimes we need to do just 10 percent more- like going across political divisions and job descriptions, to succeed where others have failed.Through stories, insights, and practical steps, Adhar shows how embracing going the distance in a relationship can open doors to learning, growth, and unexpected opportunity.Radha Adhar brings a deep understanding of legislative strategy, federal governance, and coalition-building to the forefront of climate philanthropy. She previously served in the Biden White House as Special Assistant to the President for Senate Affairs. In this role, she was instrumental in advancing key legislative priorities and navigating the complex landscape of U.S. Senate policymaking. With a career rooted in public service and a commitment to justice-driven climate action, Radha is focused on ensuring that bold environmental solutions are informed by — and accessible to — the communities most impacted by climate change.
