Inspire and Lead Change for Our Climate

The programme

Our modular training programme teaches practical skills for influencing change in the context of the climate crisis. Through the course, you and your colleagues learn to better connect to each other and the issue, and how to have conversations about climate change that move people from feeling powerless and overwhelmed to feeling capable and creative.

Practical details

  • Choose from our 9 issue-focused modules.
  • Complete any number of these standalone modules in any order.
  • Each module is delivered in a 2-hour live Zoom session by two of our experienced climate change coaches.
  • Invite up to 20 people to a session.
  • Keep the carbon footprint of training to a minimum with the live online learning sessions.
  • Learn and practice skills in the training sessions that can be implemented immediately.

Our coaches are trained in how to build intimacy and trust using video. Our Zoom training is not ‘death by screen time’ – there’s lots of time out of your seat. Each module comes with a simple workbook with the slides, further resources and prompts to encourage post-session reflection.
