Standing and Delivering with the WWF

Stand & Deliver is the consulting company I have been working with since 2007. Founded by my friend Peter Meyers, we have had the opportunity to work with companies all over the world. Peter met one of the directors of the WWF, Carlos Drews at IMD last year.

The leaders of the WWF have come to us to get help with their ability to improve their communication and leadership skills. They meet with donors to secure funding, they work with local governments to prevent poaching, they give inspirational talks all over the world. Most of the 14 participants in the upcoming training specialize in a particular species - Pandas, Polar Bears, Asian Rhinos and Elephants, African Rhinos and Elephants, Cetaceans and Marine Turtles, African Great Apes, and Tigers.

We meet at the Mountain Gorilla View Lodge in the mountains of Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park. This is where Dian Fossey did her research for almost 20 years before she was mysteriously killed.
