Location: Kitsilano Community Center ( $25.00*/1 session)
Presenter: Russel Horwitz, Kwela Leadership and Talent Management
Is success really worth it if it comes at the expense of an impoverished world for future generations? Join Kwela principal, Russel Horwitz for a thought provoking exploration of this and other critical questions facing our society today.
Originally developed for the World Wildlife Federation’s Young Leaders program, this motivational workshop is unlike any other you may have experienced. In a few short hours you will develop a deep appreciation of the complex links between diverse global issues such as population, wealth, consumption, pollution, climate change, natural resources, the regulatory environment, extinction and habitat loss, and even warfare. More importantly, you will learn what we can do as individuals and as a society to build a truly sustainable future. This 100% interactive program uses systems thinking theory throughout to make it easy to understand the complexity of the issues.

“Russel's Systems Thinking workshop was unlike any other I've ever seen. Participants were absolutely captivated by the way the facts were presented and in a few short hours, came away with a deep understanding of how global problems are not only interrelated to each other, but also to some of the things we treasure most in our own lives. Despite presenting an urgent and pressing picture of the current situation with no sugar-coating of the facts, his engaging style and consistent focus on solutions left participants energized and motivated in the belief that we can change the world. They could not stop talking about this workshop and many are now taking action in their communities.”
