What is cCHANGE All About?
cCHANGE is all about creating real, lasting sustainability transformations. It’s not just about quick fixes or surface-level changes — it’s about shifting systems and cultures at the scale, speed, and depth that today’s challenges demand. After decades working in sustainability, it’s clear that how solutions are implemented matters just as much as the solutions themselves. And it all starts with you. When individuals and teams show up with courage, unity, and strategic focus, extraordinary results happen. cCHANGE brings together the practical, political, and personal sides of transformation in a way that’s meaningful and impactful. The goal? To foster personal and organizational transformations where people thrive and nature flourishes.
