Session A: Managing the Green
John Passacantando, Executive Director of Greenpeace USA, has been instrumental in guiding a tremendous shift in public awareness and concern about the conditions of our planet. A one-time political conservative and supply side economics disciple, he was converted to the environmental cause in 1987. Mr. Passacantando, who holds degrees in economics from Wake Forest and New York University, previously served as Executive Director of the Florence and John Schumann Foundation, awarding grants for campaign finance reform and environmental issues. He went on to found Ozone Action, an anti-Global Warming group before moving to Greenpeace in 2000. Mr. Passacantando is vested in working with government and industry, but finds that that is not always possible and explains that there are multiple tactics and approaches to address the many different situations facing environmentalists today. He advocates that each lobbying, letter writing, petition-signing, consumer boycott, public protest, and even civic disobedience, all have their place. This is, after all, a fight for survival.

The SPEED of TRUST teaches participants pragmatic, practical, and actionable skills they can implement immediately regardless of their role in the organization. Using the learnings from The SPEED of TRUST®, this highly interactive workshop engages leaders at all levels in the real work of identifying and closing the trust gaps that exist in many organizations. Instead of continuing to pay an outrageous trust tax™, they can begin to realize the great benefits of a trust dividend both personally and organizationally.
This creates an opportunity for individuals to prepare themselves to fill the leadership shortage and provides a proven process for companies to increase the bench strength of their organization by developing critical leadership skills in their key people. The SPEED of TRUST® dramatically enhances leadership capability by teaching The 13 Behaviors of High Trust Leaders and how to imbed them into their daily interactions.
