Overview

Sustainability is a complex, rewarding and sometimes frustrating, profession. Making a difference takes time and effort, and it is therefore of paramount importance to have all the stakeholders in a project working with you, not against you. When this is not the case, problems may arise, including delays in the project delivery, missed opportunities but also damage to the reputation of those involved. Green Gorilla offers unique training and coaching tailored to the specific needs of those sustainability professionals, who are technically strong, but feel the need to improve their 'soft' skills to deliver the best project outcomes possible. Our practical and interactive sessions will strengthen your ability to make your voice heard, to exercise influence on others even when you haven’t got the authority, to learn key presentation and communication skills, to face confidently challenging conversations, and spin negative situations into positive ones. Green Gorilla also offers training on the business case for sustainability, so that you’ll have all the right arguments and techniques to speak to your clients and get them on your side quickly. Virginia Cinquemani, our Director and Founder, published in February 2020 SustainABLE: How to Find Success as a Sustainability Professional in a Rapidly Changing World. In this book, Virginia draws from her experience and condenses the Green Gorilla's framework on the essential skills necessary to work successfully in sustainability.
