Stress-Free Sustainability: Lead Change Now

According to Christiana Figueres, co-author of The Future We Choose, “This decade is the critical, decisive decade for the future of humanity and the planet.”

If you care about making a positive difference, the world needs you to struggle less and accomplish more of your vision. Stress less and overcome inevitable challenges faster. You can fight for a better world... and have fulfilling relationships with people who disagree with you. You can be a total bad-ass for social and environmental causes... and still sleep well at night. Please do not burn out and quit before you accomplish the profoundly important things you've been dreaming about.

This is not your typical sustainability training. It doesn't spend any time throwing the usual suspects under the bus, blame them for all our problems, and leave you feeling angry and overwhelmed. Instead, it asks you accept that there will always be monumental challenges in the world... and get on with helping you become a master at dealing with those challenges!

Adam Hammes provides simple and powerful models, tools, and strategies to leverage your emotions, avoid burnout, and influence anyone. He does so while weaving together personal stories from two decades of advocacy as a world traveler, environmental educator, community organizer, non-profit and industry association founder, award-winning author, sustainable business graduate professor, sustainability consultant, and corporate sustainability executive, in ways that connect with your own personal journey.

If you have a passion to make a positive difference in the world… the time is now!
