Why is this event by invitation only?
Our programs involve interaction among participants, so we are deliberate in surrounding you with the right mix of leaders — people you can respect, learn from and partner with.
How does Green Wave differ from other sustainability conferences?
Green Wave is a leadership development experience rather than a series of presentations or panels. It’s more interactive, with ongoing opportunities to connect, lead and be heard.
What are the take-aways? How will I benefit?
You will walk away with three major outcomes: 1) pivotal insights about your potential as a leader, 2) enhanced leadership skills that you can apply immediately, and 3) new partnerships that have the potential to magnify your impact as a leader and transform your career.
Is this a “touchy-feely” experience?
No. This is a professional program, similar to what we have delivered for top leaders of Fortune 500 companies.
Tell me about your history. Can you send me information about past conferences?
We've been running leadership training for the Fortune 500 for several decades, including hundreds of custom programs with tens of thousands of leaders at all levels. By focusing on the dynamics of leadership and influence, our programs are designed to help leaders in all functions, including sustainability. Learn more about the team here.

Why meet at a resort?
Leaders grow and connect better when they can relax a little and enjoy themselves. It makes for a healthier, more engaging — and more productive — experience.
Why meet at this particular hotel?
The Mandalay Beach Hotel & Resort is close to Los Angeles — a moderate drive or van ride from a major airport and large metropolitan area. It is truly beautiful, comfortable and relatively inexpensive for a beach-side resort. The hotel abides by Hilton’s sustainability policy, and the staff is willing to work with us to make Green Wave as sustainable as possible.
Why stay the weekend?
We recommend that you invest more time in the people you have met. Or you can use the weekend to regain balance and health — to take a needed break from a hectic life.
