Let’s Talk about Your Leadership - OWA Event Invite

 

Meeting Details Here

Sustainability is flowing into every business silo and flooding the built environment. It is re-writing the official rules on what (and who) matters as well as how we keep score.  This triggers deeper questions:

Is sustainability challenging how we collaborate professionally and conduct our careers? How? What’s your plan of action?

I am pleased to join Kira Gould, co-author of Women in Green and one of Sustainable Industries’ First Ladies of Sustainability, as she moderates a discussion with several other industry pacesetters in engineering, architecture, education, finance and construction to talk about how sustainability is redefining leadership and creating new ways of working for many of us across diverse sectors.

Note that this is not a “women only” event. The forum will explore how both men and women are being affected by and can benefit from tackling sustainability and leadership-related issues in their lives and careers.

You will meet and hear views from the following pro’s (on the photo above from left to right, top to bottom):

• Lisa Michelle Galley, CEO of Galley Eco Capital
• Kira Gould, Co-Author of Women in Green
• Laura Rodormer, Sustainability Consultant
• Marsha Maytum, Architect
• Gail Brager, Engineer/Educator
• Anni Tilt, Designer

For my part, I see a couple of the deeper issues that are making headway into commercial real estate finance and investment:

- Convergence of disparate disciplines: We are now seeing “integrated everything”. Finance, too — possibly with cool, but unexpected implications. What’s up with that?

- Where to activism? The greening of business is supposedly taking consciousness and fist-raising to the cubicle and conference room. In some quarters, its almost fashionable to be an activist at work. But not everywhere. So what’s business activism look like (hint: my finance and investment friends, this could be your moment…)

For extra credit, you can read Kira’s recent commentary about this in Sustainable Industries.

And please join us and contribute your leadership to the conversation.
