Leadership Coaching Workshop for Sustainability Professionals facilitated by UN PRME
hosted by the SEED Institute
Date: Wednesday, April 19
Time: 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Location: Main Hall 333
Tickets: $25, farm-to-table lunch included
Event Description: Sustainability professionals strive to create immense transformation, often with limited support and resources, and often, they do it alone. Roles like Chief Sustainability Officer, VP of Sustainability and ESG Director can be extremely meaningful, but also demanding, and these careers often lead to burnout. This workshop will help connect Front Range sustainability professionals with their community and provide space for these leaders to share challenges, harness the group's collective wisdom and uncover insights and solutions. Our special guest facilitators will join us from the UN PRME Working Group on the Sustainability Mindset and Leadership in Motion (LIM). Tickets include a farm-to-table lunch provided by our sustainability-minded campus dining partner, Harvest Table.
