Regenerative Leadership
4-Week Online Course
Start Date: August 13, 2024Regenerative Leadership
4-week online course Start Date: July 12, 2022This highly interactive four-week Regenerative Leadership online course explores how the core principles of sustainability, sustainable development, and the research-based regenerative leadership framework can address sustainability challenges in the private and civic sector (business, communities, schools and universities, government, etc.). The key goals we pursue in this work are embedded in what we have come to know as the triple top line (TTL): “How to grow prosperity, strengthen community, and enhance the health of all species for all time.”
As we work towards attaining the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we must learn the qualities, skills, and organizational strategies of effective change agents, sustainability champions, entrepreneurs, and social entrepreneurs. If you are committed to creating regenerative solutions to the world’s issues and challenges, this course helps you answer the questions:
“How can I bring sustainability into my organization or business? As a leader, how can I inspire positive change?”
Who should take this course?
This online course is designed for, but not restricted to:
o Nonprofit leaders and Social Entrepreneurs
o Business executives
o Public sector and community leaders
o Anyone hoping to inspire an organization to bring more sustainability into current practices
Course Format
This is an online course. Each week, a new module opens that includes videos, articles, and forums for discussions that can be completed offline at a convenient time for the participant.
The course also includes live sessions, which are not mandatory but highly recommended for creating connections with other participants and digging into course materials. Live session times are announced approximately one week before the course begins, as we do our best to take into account the time zones present in each class when we decide on session times.
