Team
A team of four PhD colleagues created a business together, developed workshops, designed a website, and launched SLP. The colleagues share a foundational view of education based on the study of dozens of sustainability theories and practices. SLP and the shared leadership team program are grounded in the interest of environmental, ecological, and social goodwill. We are prepared to inspire, organize, serve, and improve leadership teams.
