Bruce Nixon, Sustainability Consultant: Creating a Just, Sustainable, Non-violent World

I am a member of the Climate Change Speaker Network http://www.climate-speakers.org.uk and I give talks to schools and sixth form colleges.

At conferences and other events, I give bespoke talks and workshops on sustainability, economic justice, the global economic system and bringing about system change. These are for people, including entrepreneurs, who want to make their lives, businesses and communities sustainable and need a challenging, radical speaker and facilitator with wide corporate and public sector experience who has also worked and lived in a developing country. I help people design their events or conferences to make them more participative and effective. I also do some business school teaching.

Themes:

Getting Sustainability into the Lifeblood of Your Organization
A New Agenda for Business Leaders in the 21st Century
Undoing an Unsustainable Economic System
Seeing the Opportunities in the Big Issues
Creating a Culture that Liberates Spirit, Energy and Innovation
Developing Strategic Leadership in the 21st Century
Leading Transformation Successfully by Co-Creating Change
Giving and Getting a Good Listening to - Co-Mentoring for Leadership Development
The Importance of Diversity
The Role of HRD in the 21st Century

I can also work with you and help you use and adapt Real Time Leadership Development and the Strategic Leadership Model to the unique needs of your organisation. See the Consulting Services section of our site for more information.
