  Online workshop | Tools for stronger argument and clearer writing | Workshop 60

  Many people feel that professional documents, including the demanding ones for Impact Assessment (IA) or Assessment of Environmental Effects in New Zealand, are overly long, complex and filled with unnecessary details. Many suggest that better-written documents would help. That idea isn’t wrong, but it isn’t enough. Because you can’t write clearly if you don’t have something clear to say. And many professionals, who can master data and analysis, struggle with converting their observations into useful conclusions and recommendations.

  Online workshop | Environmental Leadership: Increasing your impact as an environmental professional | Workshop 9

  Ordinary leadership training isn't designed for environmental professionals. We face unique challenges - from navigating complex stakeholder dynamics to driving systems change while managing scientific uncertainty. Environmental leadership demands resilience, the ability to perceive and respond to interconnected factors, and skills to hold organisations accountable while safeguarding the wellbeing of species and ecosystems.

  This program fills the gap. Rather than learning generic leadership theory, you'll be guided by an environmental leadership expert and learn to use tools specifically designed for environmental professionals working in complex, high-stakes contexts.
