Coaching

We are committed to serving people who are creating a better world by taking a stand for sustainability.

The effectiveness of implementing sustainable practices is often measured by the impact on the quadruple bottom line of people, planet, profit and place. No doubt we need to know the impact of our work, the amount of our paycheck, the health of our family and other measures of our success.

What if the real bottom line doesn’t come at the end of the week or year? What if it exists in each moment? What would you measure? Who would you be?

We will partner with you to explore the meaning, benefits and measures of sustainability in your life. The exploration begins with you as an individual, leader or team member within your family, organization, or community. Questions asked, lived and answered provide fresh insights and introduce new practices. We tap into the wisdom of thought leaders to inform our conversations and take you where you want to go.

As coaches for sustainability we contend that achieving a positive bottom line for sustainability lies in a few principles:

• Stewardship: Embracing stewardship means choosing service over self-interest and accountability over abdication of responsibility.
• Education: Pursuing life-long learning informs our minds, hearts, bodies and spirits, and helps us to understand, grow and act.
• Community: We long for a sense of place. We are stronger together. A culture that empowers and respects each of us frees us to act in the best interest of all of us.
• Sufficiency: Operating from a mindset of sufficiency rather than scarcity reveals previously unseen opportunities.
• Leadership: Principle centered leadership invites us to take a stand for the world we will deliver to future generations.

Over and over again our clients tell us about work/life stress and share feelings of exhaustion.

Personal sustainability is about meeting your present needs without compromising your ability to meet your future needs. It's also much more... fulfilling your present life and your future vision. Our coaches help you define what that means for you.

Many clients also say they are seeking to connect to a higher purpose while making life much more simple.

It's not about what's wrong. It's about what's right for you. Our clients are feeling pulled toward a vision for themselves, their families, communities or businesses. Some people are looking for ways to work toward a better future for all, to create a more sustainable, compassionate planet. They are seeking something more and less, at the same time.

Our coaches have the tools and knowledge to help you self-assess your own well-being, identify your goals, and create do-able action plans to enhance your personal sustainability and fulfill your vision. Along the way, we provide the resources to support you and challenge you to see the possibilities, as well as your own potential to create a more compassionate, sustainable world.

Leaders feel accountable for creating the vision and the path to sustainability.

Passionate and visionary leaders create excitement for their causes. Whether it’s overcoming and adapting to ecological issues, ensuring environmental justice or adopting sustainable business practices, your role as a leader is both challenging and full of possibility. While there is dissension about the methods, there is a growing realization of the issues, acceptance for change and need for collaborative action to create a more sustainable earth.

Your work may be draining and the scope of tasks daunting. At Nebo, we listened to leaders working for sustainability, across multiple sectors, and heard, “we need to BE prudent, bold, fearless, inspirational, plausible, dynamic, responsive, transparent, supportive, honest, capable, open, communicative, visionary, capable of admitting we don’t know and willing to ask for help.” With such demands, we also heard, “we need on-going leadership development and effective survival skills.”

Nebo’s coaches are committed to ensuring that leaders for sustainability survive and thrive. We take a holistic approach to ensuring the health and well being of leaders while working with them to build their capacity as individuals and teams to achieve their goals. During one-on-one and team coaching, we bring the wisdom of thought leaders and our own expertise in leadership, team-building, communication, human development and sustainability.

Leaders enroll followers in sharing a vision. Organizations make it happen.

Mobilizing an organization to operate sustainably or serve its environmentally or socially focused mission, takes leadership and teamwork at every level. Whether you are creating a new green business, assessing and revamping manufacturing operations or energizing the green movement, you depend on the capability and capacity of your organization – the people. Attention to organizational structure is important. Attention to the culture created by the individuals within that structure is crucial.

Nebo’s coaches support your organization’s need for everyone to engage in and be accountable for the vision.

We go into and beyond the classroom to provide real time learning and leadership development on the job. We work with you to create and deliver a plan for increasing your organization’s capacity to achieve its vision through growing and developing leaders and teamwork to make your vision real
