What I speak on
Regenerative Leadership in Complex Times
Why the industrial model of leadership fails at the edge — and what it means to lead like an ecosystem: distributed, adaptive, and oriented toward long-term regeneration.
Board Governance as Root System
The board-CEO relationship is the most leveraged and most underinvested relationship in mission-driven organizations. This talk reframes governance as a living system — and gives leaders language for the dysfunction they've been managing alone.
The Diagnostic Before the Strategy
Most organizations build strategy before they understand what's actually wrong. This talk introduces the RLL diagnostic framework and the questions leaders stop asking once they get too close to their own system.
Culture as Foundation, Not Byproduct
What it actually takes to build cultures of trust, accountability, and belonging — drawn from leading Greenpeace USA through a transformative equity and inclusion rebuild.
The Just Transition Isn't Just Environmental
Climate organizations, equity-centered nonprofits, and cross-sector coalitions navigating the intersection of systems change, racial justice, and organizational transformation.
From Mom to Movement Builder
2025 Scientista Podcast
What happens when the air your child breathes makes them sick? For Ebony Twilley Martin, it sparked a journey from concerned mother to climate justice leader. In this episode of The Scientista Podcast, the former Executive Director of Greenpeace USA shares how environmental racism, activism, and leadership intersect—and why frontline communities must be at the center of climate solutions.
From breaking barriers in the environmental movement to challenging the backlash against diversity and inclusion, Ebony brings a powerful perspective on what it takes to drive real change.
