Coaching Services for Sustainability Directors
Sustainability Directors are often struggling to be successful in their roles. The irony of an SD is that even though hired by their firm, they almost immediately suffer from diminished credibility just because they are an “inside” voice. Additionally – SDs are typically technical experts – they are often architects or engineers who have risen through the ranks by delivering projects and implementing designs. This is often a necessary but not sufficient skill-set. The skills needed to implement change management strategies are completely different. That’s where we can help. We can coach your sustainability leaders to develop effective strategies to gain buy-in, overcome resistance and implement valuable, transformative strategies that benefit your company on many levels.
