If you’ve ever felt a little climate anxiety, here is a program to help you not just cope, but thrive. We did this as a workshop in November, and I’ve been teaching this program for more than 2 years at events big and small. The results are great — not as great as a clean energy future (but we WILL get there…), but great, for our times. Much like climate progress, mental health can be a journey, and once we accept that things don’t happen overnight, we can take a perspective that allows us space to alleviate some of our stress-induced suffering.

In this program, participants learn:

  • mechanisms of stress — understanding this allows us to face our stress from a more objective and methodical point of view, pulling us out of the midst of it and allowing space for growth
  • how to rewire our minds — this is a process that truly works wonders, allowing us to change thought patterns that we’ve had for our whole lives that do not serve us, and replace them with powerful, proactive, inspiring, and fulfilling mindsets
  • ways to process the uncomfortable — allowing us to let things go that don’t serve us, take what we need from them, and maintain our focus on what is the most critical path forward for us

We are making this program available for companies to do as an employee engagement program. Inquire for details here.

Below is the recording of the workshop. Slides are at the bottom for download.

Here are the slides!

There is an accompanying journal for this program if you want to just do it on your own. You can find the Aspire Journal here on Amazon.

Scott Cooney (LinkedIn) is a serial eco-entrepreneur focused on making the world a better place for all its residents. Scott is the founder of CleanTechnica and was just smart enough to hire someone smarter than him to run it. He then started Pono Home, a service that greens homes, which has performed efficiency retrofits on more than 20,000 homes and small businesses, reducing carbon pollution by more than 27 million pounds a year and saving customers more than $6.3 million a year on their utilities. Scott wanted to contribute to native ownership of the clean energy revolution, so he gifted Pono Home to a long tenured employee with native Hawaiian roots for just the liquidation value, turning down a mainland company interested in purchasing the company. In a previous life, Scott was an adjunct professor of Sustainability in the MBA program at the University of Hawai'i, a consultant at Saatchi & Saatchi S, where he worked with a team to educate and empower millions of employees to live healthier and more sustainably. He is the author of Build a Green Small Business: Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur (McGraw-Hill) , and Green Living Ideas.
