​Leading on sustainability takes courage

​If it was easy, the world would be a very different, much better, place for us and for the rest of nature.

​It takes courage to go against the flow. It takes courage to say things others don't want to hear. It takes courage to innovate and do things differently.

​Sustainability directors, managers and pioneers need courage to make genuine progress on sustainability in their organisations and sectors.

​That's why courage is identified by the Inner Development Goals as one the key skills needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

​What's your experience of being courageous?

​When have you had to stand up for values or make difficult decisions? How did you take decisive action?

​Have you had to challenge and disrupt existing structures and views?

​Who or what helped you succeed? What did you learn on those times when you failed? (We all do.)

​Share your experiences, learn from your peers

​Join the roundtable to share your experiences and discover how your peers are dealing with similar challenges in their particular situations.

​Together, explore new insights and approaches to navigate the tensions between what you know is needed for genuine progress on sustainability and the expectations of your job, your colleagues, your stakeholders.

​Expect something different

​This event isn't like most online events. It's a rare opportunity to discuss issues that matter with your peers, to learn and to share.

​We briefly frame the event and then create spaces for rich conversations with your peers in small groups and in plenary.

​No pitches.

​The plenary sessions are recorded and become part of future episodes of the Leadership for Sustainability podcast.
