Professional Development for Sustainability (CPD)

The Corporate Sustainability Mastermind Group is a small group of sustainability practitioners from leading organisations who get together on a regular basis to learn from each other’s experiences and drive their programmes to the next level.

The group is facilitated by Gareth Kane of Terra Infirma and operates under Chatham House rules to encourage a frank discussion. The group eschews the usual ‘death by Powerpoint’ approach taken in sustainability groups in favour of structured discussions, capturing generic learning points as we progress. It meets one morning every quarter at superb locations in the North of England and discussions continue over a fine lunch.

The group is only suitable for those implementing sustainability within larger organisations and we reserve the right to refuse membership. If you would like to apply to join, please contact us here.

I’ve been to many different sustainability events in many different formats, but the Mastermind Group is the one I get most value from by a long, long way.

Executives who have been given responsibility for sustainability often feel lonely, isolated and in need of inspiration. Our coaching programme supports you by giving you a sounding board, will help you set personal targets to improve your performance and provide you with a smorgasbord of hints, tips and techniques to overcome particular problems.

For a one-off annual fee, you will receive a personal one-to-one coaching session by telephone every month, but you will be able to contact your coach at anytime should the occasion arise, subject only to availability. This is an extremely cost-effective way of benefiting from our skills and experience without having to fashion a project to justify it. The constant reinforcement of ideas and reflection on experience is much more effective at boosting performance than attending a simple training course.

I found Gareth’s coaching very helpful in moving my business development ideas forwards. He carefully guided me from the general to the specific, asking without telling, and the gradually pressing me to commit to action.
