Avoid Internal and External Risks

communication is an art that can help

Learn how an ESG lens can help your business model and communication strategy expand. A deep understanding of the financial side of your business is fantastic, but does not tell the whole story. Communication on these topics can vary depending on the audience, and learning common ways to measure and manage outcomes will help keep everyone on the same page and maintain focus.

Course Testimonials

“I think it makes a lot of sense. The dissonance we experience comes from a psychological mismatch between what we are doing and how people feel. So, tapping into the feeling makes a lot of sense. And doing it in the group and business context makes even more sense. When we help leaders align with a greater purpose, the business is aligned and you gain a lot of resilience.”

CEO of WHYO

Lenny Kessler

“On the subject of dissonance, we currently don’t have the right people asking the right questions. People may not know what questions to even ask. There is a significant gap between our commitments and actions, and there is a significant gap between senior executives and people on the ground doing the operational work. That is why there is a need for critical thinking and embedding ESG throughout the entirety of organizations. A core component of that is having people within organizations develop the courage and purposeful leadership to ask those questions and flag any issues as they emerge.”

Director of Keyah Consulting

Dr. Sophie Taysom

“Generally, people are trying to do what they think is right. Sometimes for the wrong reasons. In some instances, rather than having decisions grounded in one's own ethics and principles of the business, they may be engaging in green washing to attract more customers and investors. This could be done knowingly, or ignorantly and as a result, when it comes to sustainability, they're getting it wrong. This is why AMNIe strives to equip executives to power positive change via knowledge of holistic sustainability integration and purposeful leadership.”
