Todd Porter, MPOD 6, MMAC Steering Committee member since 2018
Since 1995, Todd Porter has been designing optimal energy management for commercial operations throughout the United States. His leadership roles in Performance Assurance, Client Satisfaction, Quality, and Research and Development led to his discovery that the biggest challenge isn’t technical. It's incorporating change in ways that outlive the immediate initiative and achieve long-term impact. He wants to answer the question: How do humans move from "enlightenment" to improved patterns that last?
To explore the dynamics of change in human systems, Todd completed Case Western Reserve University’s masters’ program in Positive Organization Development in 2011.
That experience in human organizing, combined with the creative skills embedded in his BA in Electrical Engineering and MA in music, accords Todd a unique set of expertise: Relational, Artistic, and Technical.
Combining these areas over the past decade, Todd has led compassionate communication workshops based on Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life. His presentations have equipped professional, community, and faith-based groups that include large suburban school district leaders, university interview officers, movers and shakers within the Wild Goose Festival and other 501(c)(3) organizations, church staff and municipal leaders, and participants in a variety of regional and national conferences.
The conviction underlying all of Todd’s work is that empathic connection between human beings enables us to create the world we long for: A world in which everyone has what they need. His work with "Conversations That Connect" creates positive impacts that last - no matter your present goal or geography.
Todd lives in Fort Worth, Texas with Krista and their cat, Bert.
