The “Savor the Wait” section of the course was a turning point for me. Becoming aware of how our goods are made was also an eye opening process. Calculating my own personal carbon footprint has helped me understand I have a responsibility to offset my consumption. Making informed choices, donating to charities, and reducing my carbon footprint have now become a daily part of my life. This course should be required of every human being on the planet!!

​You can leave the world better than you found it.

Humans have lived on the planet for thousands and thousands of years, long before we were causing green house gasses to be emitted. With the incredible healing power of the Earth and man-made technology, we have the capacity to reverse this downward spiral in one generation. 

And while you help heal the planet, you'll learn how good it is for you to do so, personally. During the course, students have shifted to more healthy diets, found themselves working through unprocessed grief, and also saving money. It's all connected because being an Integrity Hero taps into what humans have always done (but modern people have forgotten) and that is to be more community oriented, be curious, and be willing to give back. 

Course Structure

I'll meet with you remotely each week for an hour (you choose weekday and time). You'll also have access to me via email. During the workweek, I'll respond easily within 24 hours and over weekends, the next business day.

SYLLABUS

We'll go over your footprints and discuss things like where you were surprised, happy, see room for improvement, and any questions you may have. We'll quickly look at some carbon, plastics, and poverty projects to which you can donate right away (no affiliate) so you reverse your footprints for the month. You'll also be shown three tried-and-true techniques for spending money to do away with buyer's remorse, have more agency in the marketplace, be more satisfied with your choices, and save a lot of money. One student saved $250 in her first week. 

Week 2
Donating efficiently for maximum benefit.
For the planet: We'll explore what makes charities highly ranked, the vetting process, how if charities get bad press it may be a good thing, and look at the number one ranked charity in the world.  We'll discuss metrics for a good return on investment with charities so you can have confidence every dollar you spend is going a long way. If you have charities you like, we'll go over vetting them. 
For you: We'll explore the science the proves giving is good for you in mood, health, and wealth. We'll review laboratory studies, group studies, and population studies that show giving is as good for you as eating well, exercising, and good sleep. We'll keep up the pace from the first week and review your spending techniques, any spending pattern discoveries, other changes you've noticed, and tally weekly and aggregate savings.

Still wondering if this is best for you right now? I designed my work to be "beyond free" meaning it's designed to give you way more back than you'll invest in quality of life, time, and money. I want is to live in a world where people are exposed to the joy of giving and understand the agency they have in the marketplace.
