Leading for sustainability is a highly experiential programme for experienced, mid to senior managers and sustainability practitioners who want to increase their ability to make positive change in the world around them.

I have never spent a week as intense in learning, as inspiring and as fascinating in terms of discovery as this one. There is real beauty in diversity. We can learn so much from each other!
