Meet Your Trainer

Minou started The Green Sprint together with Pamela Smit to help organizations take action on sustainability. On our journey, we kept meeting many amazing individuals in all sorts of roles and with different backgrounds with one thing in common: They care about sustainability and climate action but don't really know how to get started in their company.

So we created this course because we believe that organizations all around the world are in need of passionate changemakers who can guide the transition to the new economy. Minou will guide you through the whole journey and you can always reach out to her when you have questions or ideas.

Minou Schillings

I'm Minou Schillings, and I'm here to help you Shift from the tired norms of business-as-usual and recognize and nurture our capacities to steward regenerative businesses and futures.

The lens of modernity has been damaging both nature and society for far too long. Now, it's impacting businesses too. Sticking to these outdated ways hinders resilience, innovation, and survival in the face of crises.

Let's Shift Horizons together, leaving behind the old to create a positive impact on people and the planet. It's not only the right thing to do; it's a smart business move. I design experiences to guide businesses and individuals in shifting towards becoming regenerative stewards.

Nice clear explanation of terms and quite lucid content.

By Rita Basu on 2/25/2026

Very good story telling and good insight on sustainability action in business.

By Anonymized User on 9/26/2023

I found the course to be highly informative and engaging. The content was well-structured, and the instructors were knowledgeable and effective in presenting the material. The course covered a wide range of topics and provided practical insights that I can apply in real-life situations. One aspect I particularly enjoyed was the thought-provoking questions in the assignment, which encouraged critical thinking and deepened my understanding of the subject. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect 5 out of 5 is that there were a few areas where I wished for more in-depth coverage. Overall, though, I'm very satisfied with my learning experience and would highly recommend this course to others.

All the trainings contains the same or similar basic information. They are good, but we need more advanced trainings or at least a scale with "basic", " for experts", "for professionals" or similar. Otherwise the training is very good. This is going too slow for me, it could go to the point quicker.

In Abschnitt 2 benötige ich mehr visuelle Unterstützung der Inhalte - insbesondere bei den "5 Why".

By Bassey Edet Nkposong on 10/10/2022

Taking this course further broadens the reach of the effects of our neglect of the society, it made me understand the total effects of our waste exceeding the capacity the earth can absorb.

By Pinie Smits on 2/5/2022

Wat een motivatie spreekt er door deze cursus heen. Het volgen ervan wordt daardoor een kleine moeite en een groot plezier. Werkt aanstekelijk. We hebben inmiddels een echte groene sprint getrokken. Minou Schillings, dank hiervoor.
