Transforming human society toward sustainability is an unprecedented challenge.

How do leaders move sustainability forward effectively? How do they overcome barriers to change?

Whether you’re a skilled sustainability champion or relative newcomer, this course will enhance your ability to influence and promote organizational and social change in support of sustainability goals.  It moves from a broad theoretical overview to a detailed exploration of the skills and qualities of effective change agents, as well as their relations to other actors.  This course is an interactive peer learning experience.  We’ll draw on real-world cases and discuss strategies for taking action to achieve your sustainability goals.
