Workshops and presentations


Doctors seek help and advice from medical professionals and psychologists talk to therapists, but rarely does a conservationist in a caring role have someone who cares about them in return.

Our tailored sessions can help your conservationists value, advocate, and care for themselves in a conservation career while also providing practical knowledge about how they can build sustainable lives for themselves in the environmental industry.

Each session is tailored and unique to the needs and budget of each NGO, university, or leadership program to ensure that each cohort gets the most out of each session.


Our founder Jessie Panazzolo has run sessions with the likes of:

  • Monash Uni’s Global Challenges program
  • Melbourne Uni’s Wattle Fellowship program
  • Jane Goodall Institute’s National Youth Leadership Council
  • Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia
  • Landcare Tasmania
  • National Landcare Network
  • IUCN UK
  • University of Greenwich
  • Conservation Volunteers Australia
  • Australian Land Conservation Alliance (ALCA)

Workshops and talks can cover a range of topics, such as:

  • Conserving the conservationists in your organisation
  • Valuing Volunteers
  • Growing into the conservation industry
  • Managing your office/ cohort with conservationist wellbeing in mind
  • Addressing personal and professional challenges in the conservation industry

“During your talk I was receiving texts saying, “this is spot on”, its giving me goosebumps!”, “I’m loving this speaker!”, “I want to invite her to come hang out with us in Wisconsin!”
