Events I'll be organizing, speaking at or just soaking up.
I have helped change conversations about adoption, architecture, the arts, business, community organizing, design, education, exploration, fishing, fundraising, health care, hospice, leadership, neuroconservation, non-profits, oceans, parenting, plastic pollution, real estate, recreation, sea turtles, slow food, surfing, technology, travel, urban planning, water, well-being and wildfire for good. (Whew!)
Venues have included TED, Aspen Institute, United Nations, Greater Washington DC Board of Trade, various TV network news and radio shows, The Royal Geographical Society, Explorers Club, Fortune 500 companies, international conferences, and dozens of universities and goverment agencies.
How can I help upgrade, expand, and reframe your conversation?
For information about speaking, workshops, consulting, Skype presentations, book signings, or events please contact me by email or contact the talented Deb Benson at Changemaker.
On Monday October 16th we'll kick off the Blue Mind Book Relaunch (huh?).
The book has been published for three years, and the original launch events were at Bedruthan Steps in Cornwall, England and the Santa Monica Public Library, but the vast majority of people in the world (~ 99.99% of them at least, at last count) haven't yet heard of or read Blue Mind. So for that one week we are going to treat Blue Mind as if it has just come out.
We’ll enthusiastically tell friends about it, share our discovery with fellow water lovers, write an Amazon review or an insightful blog post, give the book as a gift, get a case into a new shop, use book sales to raise funds for a favorite org, and generally make some blue noise!
Dig up your favorite quotes, articles, radio or TV reports, and photos (we've had some real gems) and share one of them each day all week.
Folks can grab a case of signed books from www.SlowCoast.org (along with 20 blue marbles and bookmarks) and have half their holiday shopping done! Or they can stop by their local library, favorite independent bookseller or shop for a new or used book online.
Our big picture mission is to change the conversation about water for good. Our short term boring, but practical goal is to sell Slow Coast out of Blue Mind books before the holidays so the loan from our friend Louise can be paid back!
We are also inviting the whole Slow Coast staff to join us in this relaunch effort.
So, mark your calendar for the Oct 16th Blue Mind Book Relaunch and get ready to get your blue mind on all week. We can do it!
Signed books (individual or by the case) are available here: www.slowcoast.org
