Resilient is brilliant!

Change happens quickly. The best organizations are “resilient” ones that anticipate, plan, imagine and innovate. The best employers attract and retain the best employees by encouraging them to bring their values, imagination and enthusiasm to the workplace, rather than leave them at home.

Resilient organizations will thrive, not just survive, in the 21st Century by unleashing the vision and energy of motivated staff.

The talk shows how organizations can bring meaning and dignity to their teams while developing solutions and creating products that enhance the lives of all people as well as the health of the planet and its ecosystems.

General audience

Part of the Problem, or Part of the Solution?

Choosing to live lightly means imagining, building

and sharing a world that works well for everyone.

In a time of rapid change, severe environmental degradation, resource scarcity and growing income disparity, leadership and decisive action are essential. But our “leaders” in politics and business don’t seem up to the task; they are busy following outmoded models to solve new challenges.

Should we wait for new leaders? Or is it time for each of us to step up and be the change we wish to see in the world? David shows us how leading is easier than we think.

Personal / spiritual

Finding Meaning and Fulfillment in Living Lightly:

Healing the soul through the pursuit of respect and harmony in our

personal lives, community roles and relationships with the natural world.

Our frantic lives are full of conflicting messages about what we can be, should be, can buy, should buy, and how all of these will bring meaning to our lives. Why, then, has the pursuit of these material goals left so many of us feeling so empty?

Why is there such a huge disconnect between what we have to do to live comfortably and what we want to do and wish to be? 

This talk examines the values we hold most deeply, and the balance with nature that many of us sense is a key to environmental, community and personal health. David embarks with you on a liberating exploration of pathways to abundance, passion and meaning-filled living.

We Have the Power:

Joining the Clean Energy Revolution for Fun and Profit

A clean energy revolution is re-energizing people, communities, businesses ad economies. Moving to a 100% renewable energy future is a key to social renewal, personal empowerment and reviving democracy. David Chernushenko shows us how we can ultimately meet our energy needs with renewable sources if we choose to pursue a path that gives priority to conservation, community ownership and a “smart” energy network. He will explore what our energy choices say about who we are, what we believe and where we are going as a society. He will leave you feeling energized, empowered and bursting to participate in the clean energy revolution. This multi-media presentation uses photos and video from David Chernushenko’s extensive travel and direct involvement in this field, and scenes from his films.
