For Individuals
Transformational Leadership
We offer a range of programs for individuals of varying experiences, backgrounds and identities. In our courses, we use a cohort model that emphasizes small group work and community building to create a safer, braver space for this deeply reflective work. We consider participants to be co-creators of their equity learning process, and we regularly check-in and adapt our approach to make sure the experience meets the needs of both individuals and the cohort as a whole. We consider various learning styles and model during trainings. In the end, we guide participants to apply learning to action.

I realized that after a 15-year career in the sustainability field, I had worked exclusively on environmental outcomes. Yet, the promise of sustainability is to achieve social justice, environment and economic prosperity. To me this became a personal, moral and professional imperative. CDE’s 2042 program came at just the right time for me to refocus my career around this.” -Environment 2042 Leadership Program alumnus
