Paul and Sarah Photo Elm Street Economy Training
 for Your Community
 
  Paul and Sarah Edwards will work with you or your
  organization to build a Elm Street Economy,  bringing
  good  news, practical information, and hands-on
  solutions in workshops, speeches, and presentations 
  either in person or via teleseminars or
webinars.

It all begins with someone who is willing to take the initiative: you, your community groups, agencies, and organizations, Transition Initiative, professional/trade associations, or local educational institutions.

Programs can be tailored to your local needs and interests. Here is a sample of some of the training programs we've done in communities like Claremont, CA, Phoenix, AR, Tucson, AR, Santa Barbara, CA, and nationwide via the web.

       - Sustainable Livelihoods: Now, in Transition and for the Future

          An online workshop is scheduled for August 7.

       - Training4Transition: How to Start a Transition Initiative in Your
         Community

       - Overcoming Institutional Barriers to Sustainability: Four Steps to
          Restoring Local Community Resilience

       - Five Fundamentals of Responding Positively to Change 

       - Turn Your Business or Practice into a Middle Class
       
 Lifeboat

                           
Even in times like these options and possibilities still beckon. But oh, how they can be disguised by in the painful costs the environmental and economic changes that are challenging many Americans.

In short, we have to adapt, modify, and restructure our lives and our livelihoods. Still there are emerging niches an established trade, business or profession is needed to fill. In fact these times demand all our expertise and experience to rebuilt and maintain personal and community resilience.

The Edwards discuss provide a roadmap of practical steps for navigating today's changing economy by turning one's career, business, private practice or profession into a lifeboat.

Named Consummate Speakers of the Year in 1996 by Sharing Ideas, the International Newsmagazine for Speakers, Meeting Planners and Agents, the Edwards have been popular speakers at conferences, conventions, trade shows, expos, and in-house programs for over twenty years.
