Speaking
"Your talk was so energizing... you did a wonderful job balancing tangible facts, with action to be taken....with great humor along the way. Thanks again for such an inspiring message."
Todd Spaletto, President, The North Face
Andrew Winston is an accomplished, engaging speaker. He’s given keynotes and moderated panel discussions in front of audiences of all types and sizes, from small meetings of the top executives at a corporation to large conference keynotes in front of thousands of people. Andrew relies on his real-world business experience and comfort on stage to bring a relaxed (and often humorous) style to his presentations on the overlap of business and environment. He has no boring 5-bullet-point slides and uses mainly visual images that grab the audience's interest.
Andrew tailors his examples and ideas to match the audience, but his “regular” talks run from 20 to 60 minutes and…
- Explore how global pressures such as resource constraints, technology-driven transparency, and new questions from customers and employees alike, are all driving companies to go green
- Describe the strategies and tools the world's best companies use to innovate and profit in this new, environmentally-sensitive world
- Illuminate the hurdles companies face when trying to go green
- Share stories of how leading companies make environmental stewardship a strategic competitive advantage
"Andrew has a preternatural ability to perform, please, and above all leave everyone cheering. His insight into the industry is incomparable..."
Jigar Shah, CEO, The Carbon War Room
