Services
How can I help you?
In recently reviewing my service offering due to a changing operating landscape I have have adopted a simpler approach to my service offering.
My new offering is centred on Mentoring to help sustainability practitioners to enrich their sustainability practice and to embed a culture of sustainability in their work through a living systems approach.
Through Mentoring, I work with individuals and groups, either solo or within an organizational context, to engage in experiential learning in applying Living Systems Practice, and support their agency over transformation efforts in their own social context – their network, community, organization, institution, group or team.
Mentoring sessions can be face-to-face or online by arrangement. Group mentoring can be offered in semi-structured workshops or as community-of-practice sessions.
Alternatively, an on-going engagement embedded in your organization is offered as a bespoke activity. This gives me an opportunity to work with you over a longer time frame, which will assist in embedding new practice in the culture of your organization.
Participants will work on on authentic problems and complex sustainability challenges from their own workplaces or projects.
The Online Foundations Course still remains as the entry path into Living Systems Practice and as preparation for mentoring - go to Courses. And the Second Nature comments interface and chat tool form the basis of a living systems community-of-practice.
I’m also open to speaking roles, as I have been delivering presentations on sustainability topics to many different audiences for over 40 years.
I can speak on a variety of sustainability, living systems, regenerative concepts, circular economy, sustainable technology, strategic design, ecodesign and innovation topics.
I can tailor the message to suit the audience through:
Meeting and conference keynotes
Professional development workshops
Industry communities of practice
Industry webinars and presentations
Presentations to community groups.
As an experienced sustainability educator, researcher and former PhD supervisor in the University sector, I am also available to provide the following services:
Industry research and reporting on sustainability topics
Preparation of case studies
Writing presentations, webinars and teaching materials
Preparation of white papers on sustainability topics
Review and proof reading of technical reports, doctoral and masters’ theses and other written materials.
My fees are flexible and are negotiable to suit the activity and the context.
Please contact me to discuss your needs and to request a fee proposal.
Discounted fees are possible for extended mentoring engagements, lump sum contracts and by special arrangements in the community, NGO, charity and social enterprise sector. I will also consider working Pro Bono for eligible organizations.
