Becoming more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable involves change - lots of it. 

​​

If you're running a business, you probably know you need to change. You probably know, too, that people (including your team, your suppliers and your customers) are better at changing when we feel convinced, inspired and supported. A clear, shared vision. A plan for action. Strong relationships. Information and other resources to smooth the way. Stories and reports that chart the progress we’re making.

​​​

That’s where I come in. With eight years’ experience in sustainability and 20+ years’ experience in communications, training, engagement and organisational change management, I understand how to bridge the gap between technical sustainability solutions and action.
