Woo Hoo! I'm slightly excited to announce that after a five year effort and a successful crowd funding campaign, I'm now an author. Talking ecoLogical is a set of 40 cards that can be used by anyone wanting to open up reflection and conversation about environmental sustainability. They can be used for team building, personal reflection, evaluation and assessment, goal setting and planning, journalling and creative writing, research and organisational change.
40 cards, 40 intriguing statements, 40 conversation-starting questions, 40 inspiring quotes
... and an on-line booklet full of suggestions for activities for using the cards.

Facilitator & MC
On time, on message, participatory, heaps of fun, great outcomes and created with your team.
Recent events include the "Waste Recovery Research Centre Workshop" at Melbourne University, "Warrnambool Sustainability Festival", the "DEPI VAS Workshop" in Melbourne and "Lets talk Rubbish" for the City of Greater Bendigo.
“We were lucky enough to have Ian MC at the Warrnambool Sustainable Living Festival, the largest event of its kind in South West Victoria. Ian's energy and enthusiasm were completely contagious and his effortless crowd-management skills ensured that guests were constantly engaged and informed about events throughout the day. Ian's endless bag of tricks (literally) entertained kids and adults alike and successfully got people talking about their vision for a healthier, happier future”

Business Mentor Program
Thirteen years of successful business sustainability change practice. We improve your business.
Live ecoLogical has helped reduce power bills at Jimmy Possum Furniture, St. Lukes Anglicare, Bendigo Community Health Services, St John of God Hospital and Swan Hill Rural City Council.
This year I'm helping the St. John of God Hospital 3G Green Team to reduce waste by half, saving money. We'll need a new waste system implemented throughout the hospital and to inspire staff, patients and visitors to participate.
I'm also assisting a retail store to create an eco trail for customers to find, understand and choose more sustainable products.
The winds of change are blowing on many fronts – make sure your organisation reaps the rewards, or at the very least, avoids the coming costs.

Sustainability Workshops
So far in 2014 I have been in Warrnambool, Darebin and Banyule delivering sustainability and change practice workshops.
"Ian's 'Kitchen Table Conversations' workshop was absolutely fantastic. It took us all on an empowering journey about what it means to be a leader in sustainability and how to bring about positive change. As well as being fun and energising, the workshop also gave us some useful tools when it comes to having effective conversations about our future."
— Lisa Rankin, Sustainability Officer, City of Warrnambool, 2014
