What we do:
In-person workshops & training
We've led workshops on:
- Employee engagement (incumbent employee sustainability trainings)
- Going green profitably (existing businesses looking for sustainability solutions)
- Social entrepreneurship (starting a green business)
We've run training workshops for a wide range of organizations and audiences, including:
- large companies (Wells Fargo, Wal-Mart, Duke Energy, and NBC),
- small companies (e.g., Green Dentistry, Afford Efficiency, and Mytthra),
- education institutions (e.g., Laney Community College, Presidio School of Management),
- non-profits (e.g., Urban Fire, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Urban Solutions),
- municipalities (Cities of San Francisco, Ukiah and Salt Lake City),
- and at national conferences for entrepreneurs (BALLE).
We've developed criteria and certification standards for:
- Green Leader certification (a "Six Sigma" for sustainability)
- Certificate of completion for social entrepreneur workshop
