Join WasteCap Nebraska for a special opportunity to hear from Adam Hammes during his webinar presentation, Sustainability Advocacy: Leverage Your Emotions, Avoid Burnout, and Influence for Good. The presentation can be viewed at a watch party on Thursday, March 5 from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. at Firespring, 1201 Infinity Court in Lincoln. Presentations are followed by a Q&A session. You can participate in the live Q & A during the presentation by tweeting your question using the hashtag #SLPSThursday. (Those who attended WasteCap’s 2013 Sustainability Summit may remember his breakout session as the raucous one that had to be admonished to quiet down.)
Adam Hammes will share how his experience of life, work, and family shifted profoundly as he learned to connect with people less-passionate about environmental sustainability, communicating his beliefs in ways that moved others to action. His story is profoundly unique, spanning his rural, conservative upbringing… to time spent as an environmental educator… a community organizer and non-profit founder… an award-winning corporate sustainability professional… an adjunct university business professor… a successful sustainability consultant… and director of a state sustainable business association. Join the conversation and learn from Adam about emotional stages and myths of advocacy, stages of influence, and other topics that can help you be a sustainability leader.
