For leaders who can no longer unsee what’s broken — and know incremental change isn’t enough.
Academy Earth is a space for senior sustainability, climate and systems leaders to reconnect with purpose, courage and capacity — and move from paralysis to meaningful action in a time of polycrisis.
Who We Support
We serve leaders and teams who are ready to:
move beyond burnout into sustained agency
deepen their capacity to influence complex systems
integrate personal and professional purpose with real-world impact
lead with presence, empathy, and clarity
translate inner transformation into organisational innovation
Whether you’re a corporate sustainability lead, change consultant, innovation executive, climate professional, or systems thinker - this is for you if you recognise that what’s required now is as much inner development as outer strategy.
Upcoming Experiences
-
For leaders at the edge of change - in their work and in themselves.
The Fire Horse Circle brings together a small group of thoughtful professionals working in systems change, sustainability, and impact entrepreneurship to explore the deeper shifts that often arise mid-career - when success alone is no longer enough, and questions of purpose, direction, and authentic leadership begin to take centre stage.
Through confidential dialogue, reflective inquiry, and forum-style sharing, participants reconnect with what matters most and find clarity about how they want to live and lead in the years ahead.
Cohort-based programme with limited places.
April Cohort: SOLD OUT
Next cohort: Starting May 2026
Today’s challenges aren’t just technical. They are relational, emotional, and systemic. Many sustainability professionals find themselves:
Exhausted by complexity
Chronically overextended
Longing for deeper purpose
Unsure how to lead when traditional models no longer work
Led by Adam Bumpus - author, C-Suite climate advisor, facilitator, and systems thinker working across climate finance, technology and regenerative leadership - The Academy Earth provides a container to support human development in the web of life.
