THRIVE Framework Workshop

Guest Speaker Guide

THRIVE Project Mission

The natural world is changing at an unprecedented rate, surpassing anything seen before in human history. We’re experiencing biodiversity loss, catastrophic fires, floods, and drought from climate change, as well as crippling inequalities within and between societies. In the face of these challenges, civilisation must plot a path out of its current state, towards a more sustainable future.

THRIVE is a for-impact and not-for-profit social enterprise that aims to ensure the long-term well-being of humanity. Our vision is to ensure a world where all life forms coexist in harmony and our civilisation pursues global shared value creation and prosperity.

To this end, we seek to provide a platform for changemakers with a passion for improving the well-being of our Earth, so that they may inform and inspire others on the pathway to change.

Let’s defy extinction. Join us on the journey towards ‘thrivability’ – a place of providence and prosperity.

Help us make the World a thrivable place!

Please come and present at one of our webinars!

Workshop Overview

We host workshops quarterly, on the last Friday of the designated month.

Our online workshops are grounded in The THRIVE Framework, emphasising Foundational Focus Factors. These sessions provide a unique platform for changemakers, specialists, researchers, and sustainability enthusiasts to share their insights, discoveries, and experiences.

As a THRIVE Guest, you will have the opportunity to engage with our global audience of over 24,000+ followers, extending your reach and impact. Additionally, you may be considered for further opportunities, such as featuring on our THRIVE Talks Podcast or Thrivability Matters Webinars, which is held on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM AEST (UTC +10). Each Webinar hosts three Guests, providing a focused forum for sharing expertise.

For workshops, we invite individuals with experience in the fields listed below to join us and contribute to these meaningful discussions.

How It Works

We aim to have two sessions for participants in each workshop. To ensure a smooth presentation, we require from each Guest the following:

  • On registration: Please provide a title and synopsis for up to two topics, a short and extended biography, a half body shot, and a 20-sec intro video about you. We will select the best one for you to present.
  • Please provide us with the draft presentation slides on the selected topic ahead of time (at least 5 weeks before the workshop). Upon receiving this, we will identify what you plan to present and work with you on planning brainstorming and engagement activities for the participants, also, if necessary provide feedback if necessary.
  • Two weeks before: We will hold a rehearsal for the workshop. Guest speakers are invited to attend, learn about the format, and resolve any technical concerns well before the event, to ensure the session runs smoothly. Please ensure you attend from the same location and use the same equipment as on workshop day.
  • One week before: Finalise presentation slides and send to THRIVE, to allow for setup.

Each workshop session lasts for ~90 mins, making it one day event as detailed below:
