carbon Coach
Support in meeting your carbon reduction goals
Mobilize and Align Resources
Over the years, we’ve had an opportunity to talk one-on-one with over 3,500 leaders in sustainability and energy management, exploring ways to expedite change in their organizations. We’ve also had the opportunity to coach and train more than 5,000 C-suite executives in our careers in the executive development industry.
Our impression, based on this experience, is that leading for the planet can be a “tough gig” even if your leaders say that they value sustainability. Some of these struggles may seem familiar:
Organizations set distal carbon reduction goals, without a meaningful way to get there
Your leaders — and their commitment to climate goals — change
Your organization is distracted, even chaotic
Climate planning is relegated to one person or a team that has limited credibility or influence
You wear many hats, representing all that is good (diversity, corporate citizenship, sustainability, social justice, etc.)
Sustainability is primarily a marketing role, about creating the impression of progress
You have to compete for resources with other leaders who are better connected or more able to build a business case
You sometimes feel alone in trying to do what you think is right for your organization and the planet
Our monthly, 45-minute pro bono coaching sessions help you as a LEADER driving change, by helping you hone a compelling vision and learn to mobilize and align resources. We also help you maintain your sanity, energy and optimism while you navigate a turbulent world.
