Our unique workshops inspire greater connection to one another and our planet by blending ancient wisdom, nature's genius, scientific research, business strategy, and human compassion. Bring your teams together to build skills that improve performance, inspire creative thinking, and cultivate connection. Workshops can be virtual, in-person, and hybrid and make excellent additions to retreats, quarterly meetings, and conferences. Whether you are looking to build skills internally or engage partners and collaborators, these workshops will make a lasting impact.

Most workshops range from two to four hours, with more time equaling greater depth of knowledge sharing and impact. Some can be accelerated to one hour, when necessary.
Prices depend on group size, duration, and location.

When done successfully, stakeholder engagement is one of the richest areas in program and product design. What often happens is the process is performed with more of a task and checkbox approach and less by cultivating deeper insights by connecting with the hearts and minds of customers and communities.

This workshop takes you on a journey where you will learn how to lead collaborative conversations that spark imagination and inspire deeper levels of knowledge sharing and commitment to success. You will discover how the Compassion-Centered Stakeholder Engagement™ process and tools like the Compassion-Centered Stakeholder Analysis™ and Sustainability Stakeholder Matrix™, lead to better qualitative and quantitative insights across stakeholder groups, including nature and society.

Develop skills to engage with empathy by openly listening to understand current conditions and experiences to acts of service by improving conditions and experiences-- the true purpose of any product or program. Dive deeper by asking the right questions such as: does this action create a better world? What would GREAT look like?

Next, evaluate highest outcomes by applying systems, circular, futures, design, and strategic thinking to alternative paths. Most of all, experience how placing compassion at the center of decision making naturally leads to optimal outcomes for people, planet, and prosperity.

To address today’s global challenges, a new approach has emerged: The EVOLVE Sustainability Framework. The process combines the best of 21st-century sustainability practices with the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework and learning journeys to spark imagination and action for a better world. The highlights introduce the four steps of evaluation, imagination, innovation, and implementation, and make the case for placing compassion at the center of decision-making to create a more sustainable world.

In the EVOLVE Sustainability Sprint, we combine the best of 21st-century sustainability practices with the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework to spark imagination and action for a better world. As a highly interactive mastermind session, you will learn about the four steps of evaluation, imagination, innovation, and implementation, and team up to find solutions to social and environmental issues and achieve the SDGs. You will also discover how putting compassion at the center leads to better decision making and a more sustainable world.

We are in a time of transformational change that requires us to begin with inner value shifts and outer ways of being to create the world we want. Evolution University has identified 5 Essential Mindsets™ representing the core attitudes, beliefs, and skills that help us imagine and take action to #EvolveOurWorld: global, compassion, abundance, growth and changemaker. Combined they provide the inner foundation for sustainability leaders and global citizens as demonstrated through behaviors and decision making and manifested through actions in our workplaces and communities. Learn more about the Five Essential Mindsets and ways you can integrate these into your personal and professional lives to make positive impact.

Learn how to energize and engage your workplaces and communities to be green! This workshop shows you how to ignite a green spark and lead eco and social initiatives that make impact. Tap into your passions and creativity to transform your workplaces and communities. Move through the four steps of the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework to go from what is to what can be by embracing circular and systems thinking and aligning to your organization's values and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Set targets to get to zero waste and zero emissions. Start small, dream big, and make meaningful impact.

Blending indigenous and ancient wisdom with the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework, this workshop takes you on a journey to hear the voice of Earth and all of its inhabitants. Evolution University's logo holds the symbol of the four directions, north, east, south, and west that also represent the elements and messages of air, earth, fire, water, the four seasons of winter, spring, summer, and fall, and the four steps of the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework. Blending these symbols with lessons from nature, this workshop takes you on an interactive and magical journey of renewing our connection with nature and coexisting in harmony in our personal and professional lives.

This workshop was developed for the United Nations International Day of Peace. Compassion is a mindset and a skillset proven to be essential for creating a more peaceful and sustainable world. This workshop shares insights on how to cultivate, activate, and integrate compassion for people, the planet, and peace. Participants will learn a universal language of peace, engage in storytelling exercises to connect with experiences of people and nature, and discover ways to make meaningful change by finding solutions and taking action for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Participants will be invited to take the MORE Compassion Pledge that inspires daily actions to co-create a better world by being peacemakers and changemakers.

Your heart is the greatest power center in your body, yet what often happens in the workplace is we get caught up in tasks and to-do lists, then find ourselves drained and disconnected. By reconnecting to our hearts, we can find ways to strengthen resiliency, reignite joy, and access an abundance of energy to fuel our passions. We'll explore ways of tapping into multiple forms of empathy and practice openly listening-- proven top leadership skills.

Compassion research shows that activating the heart center shapes brain responses from scarcity to abundance, leading to better decision making as well as employee and customer experiences. We'll engage in sensory exercises and practice compassion hacks when triggered to quickly transform our relationships and maintain a proactive leadership presence.

Are you craving more meaning in your work? Do you have a dream you would like to act on but are not sure how to get started? Would you like to gain clarity on what your purpose is and discover ways to express this through your current job, a new company, or social cause?Within each of us are clues to our unique life calling. In this workshop we will turn to the four steps of the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework and Evolution University's logo from the perspective of:

1) soil/purpose,
2) seed/nurture,
3) bloom/cultivate, and
4) harvest/prosper.

You will be guided through an assessment of your current conditions, or the the quality of the soil in your life, evaluate its regenerative properties, and continue to move through the process tapping into personal values and sustainability themes found in nature, the human spirit, and the UN SDGs.

Discover how the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals can provide a blueprint for designing comprehensive city planning initiatives and strategic plans. The goals cover all aspects across social, economic, and environmental issues while cultivating peaceful and inclusive societies.

This workshop is ideal for city planners and sustainability managers to discover ways to connect with the global goals and bring them to the local level in robust, meaningful, and innovative and ways. Learn how to tap into the successes of other cities and customize them for local results.

The workshop includes exercises on adopting the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework and the cognitive skillsets of systems, circular, futures, design, and strategic thinking.

Climate change is a real and undeniable threat to our entire civilization and is the formidable challenge of our lifetime. The effects are already visible and will be catastrophic unless we act now. Facing these issues presents both challenges and opportunities for cities, businesses, and community organizations to make the necessary changes to protect the planet while modernizing infrastructure and industry, creating new jobs, and promoting greater prosperity across communities.

This workshop ignites a climate action planning process by providing a clear purpose and centering actions around SDG 13: Climate Action and the complimentary SDGs that together create a comprehensive plan across social, economic, and environmental sectors.

The EVOLVE Sustainability Framework guides participants through the stages of planning from evaluation, and the often skipped, yet essential phases of imagination and innovation, to making it real through implementation.

The climate crisis affects all of us. But together we can solve it. That is why Al Gore created the “Truth in 10” slideshow, a 10-minute presentation to share the truth of what’s happening to our planet and the solutions in our hands.

Presented by NYC 2024 trained Climate Reality Leader Joni Roberts, the presentation breaks down the science of global warming and how rising greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels lead to more and more extreme weather events and impacts from rising seas to fast-spreading disease.

Just as important, “Truth in 10” explains how we can solve this crisis and create a better future for all with a just transition to clean energy, using the tools and technology here today. All in simple and easy-to-understand terms any audience can follow.

This presentation is complimentary and is ideal for schools, colleagues, and more talking about climate change and how we can solve it together.

As the Founder and Chief Evolution Officer of Evolution University, it's my joy to support people in their leadership and sustainability journeys. My career as an international entrepreneur, leadership and strategy professor, and creator of all things Evolution University, have given me a breadth of knowledge to work with while helping others be successful.

Cultivating an engaged and compassionate heart helps me to hold the space for a range of emotions experienced throughout life's challenges. As demonstrated through my work, I have a devotion to lifelong learning and natural curiosity. I am also an adventure swimmer, hiker, and nature lover.

Head plus heart plus the determination of an athlete is what I bring to support you and your organization's learning and sustainability journeys.

Be the change you want to see in the world is not a cliche, but exactly how change happens. Together, we will do a leadership assessment and work on building the inner skills and mindsets that translate into desirable outcomes. Coaching is grounded in courses and workshop materials, offering a multitude of pathways for professional development and success.

Rather than traditional consulting methods of analysis and prescriptions, we provide the frameworks, practices, content, and facilitation that empower people in your organization to gain the mindsets and skillsets to solve problems imaginatively and effectively. From building better relationships and teams to undergoing organizational transformation for sustainability, we can help you achieve the results you seek.
