Extras
Invest in the people doing the work
You already know your sustainability team carries something most workplaces don't fully account for. The emotional weight of the stakes.
​
The slowness of change against the urgency of the mission. The particular loneliness of being the person in the room who cares most about things that won't resolve in this quarter, or this year.
​
You'll recognise what the cost looks like before it arrives. The high performer who starts missing deadlines. The campaigner who becomes quietly cynical. The person who used to bring the room alive, who now just gets through the week. And then the resignation letter that shouldn't have surprised anyone.
​
Standard wellbeing programmes don't touch this — because they treat it as a generic stress management problem. It isn't. The pressures sustainability and social change professionals face are specific: moral weight, systems complexity, the chronic gap between effort and visible impact. What works has to be built for that reality.
​
The Change:Maker Collective is.
The Real Cost of Losing Someone Good
BEFORE THEY LEAVE
Depletion shows up long before departure
A person running on empty produces a fraction of what they're capable of- the output gap starts months before the resignation letter
​​​​THE WIDER EFFECT
Disillusionment is contagious
One burned-out team member changes the culture around them, particularly in mission-driven teams where shared conviction is part of what makes the work possible.​​
THE REPLACEMENT PROBLEM
Technical skill is the easy part to rehire
Finding someone who combines deep sustainability knowledge with the emotional commitment to actually do the work- and then getting them up to speed- takes months.
WHAT WALKS OUT
Knowledge that was never written down
Relationships with stakeholders, understanding of your organisation's specific context, and the tacit knowledge that makes someone genuinely effective- gone.
A place at the Collective costs £950. The cost of losing one good person to this sector is multiples of that- and the cost of keeping a depleted one is harder to see but just as real.
What Your Investment Gives Them
Three sessions a week, each with a different purpose: inner practice on Monday, community and peer coaching on Wednesday, shared focus and momentum on Friday.
Plus a warm WhatsApp community between sessions, a library of tools and practices, and two personal 1:1 coaching calls with Joey and Sol in their first six months.
​
-
Real practices for managing the inner critic, regulating under pressure, and staying grounded in their purpose
-
Genuine peer connection with people who understand the specific mix of passion, pressure, and doubt this work produces
-
The experience of being known, not just professionally supported by a community that gets it
-
Somewhere that builds over time, with a monthly arc that gives the work shape and direction
What You Get
ONE SEAT
One seat per organisation,
by design
​
Your employee joins a community of peers from other organisations, which means they can be fully open.
About the pressures, the doubts, the harder realities of the work. Without the complications of colleagues in the room.
The psychological safety this creates is part of what makes the community work.
RECOGNITION
Named as a headline supporter
​
Your organisation is listed publicly as a supporter of the Collective.
This puts your name in front of a growing network of professionals, and signals something specific: that you understand the human cost of this work and invest in the people doing it.
In a sector where employer reputation shapes who you can attract and keep, that signal matters.
IMPACT
Your contribution goes further
​
Every organisational place helps us hold bursary spots for individuals who couldn't otherwise afford to join, extending your investment into the wider health of the sector, not just your own team.
Who We Are
We're Joey and Sol, co-founders of the Collective and the facilitators and coaches at its heart.
We've each lived the arc we're describing: careers in sustainability and social change, real periods of overwhelm and disillusionment, and a long process of finding a different way through.
Between us we bring over 25 years of coaching, mindfulness, breathwork, facilitation, and somatic practice, and lived knowledge of this specific terrain.
Secure A Place
​Less than most single-day training events, with ongoing community, group sessions, and two personal 1:1 coaching calls across half a year.
The community now has real roots: real people, real results, real conversation.
​
The best next step is a 30-minute call. We'll answer your questions, hear about the person on your team you have in mind- or speak with them directly- and work out together whether this is the right fit. No obligation.
