Sustainability--Systems Thinking About
Our World

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. ... his engaging style and consistent focus on solutions left participants energised 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.

Is successful business really worth it if it comes at the expense of an impoverished world for future generations? Our society is in dire need of a new kind of leadership, and organizations across Canada and the globe are rising to meet the challenges through corporate social responsibility initiatives (CSR).

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 participants 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. This 100% interactive program uses systems thinking theory throughout to make it easy to understand the complexity of the issues.
