Feedback on our SMC Training approach
"With so much knowledge and insight into sustainability, the teaching approach of Beate and Isabel was mainly focused on encouraging others to share their questions and explore their feelings and thoughts related to the topic instead of them dominating with their knowledge. An extremely effective approach to leading and teaching! Learning from Isabel and Beate was such a privilege and touched me deeply as it showed me how I want to be and how Iʼd like to share my knowledge and passion with others in the future."
“The Sustainability Mindset Action Lab has been a catalyst for further personal growth. It has illuminated the dissonance between my cognitive understanding and my behaviors, highlighting areas for development in emotional and spiritual intelligence."

Thank you for this opportunity with engaging with the SMI tool - it was such a useful process and document to review - and a real "gift for the soul". It was such a positive document that gave me the space and time for reflection on my values , and provided so many motivating suggestions and possibilities. I felt very inspired from reading it. I also had the opportunity of a long train journey that gave me the chance to finish reading "The Sustainability Mindset Principles". Again such a positive and inspiring book that has prompted many ideas and motivated me to want to share this wider with colleagues and students.
The SMI has completely transformed how I teach and learn, perfectly aligning with the University of Derby’s mission to weave sustainability into every part of the curriculum. More than that, it’s given me the confidence to step up as a true change-maker in the classroom! Its robustness as a pedagogic method is commendable and I am now using it also for my teaching & learning scholarship.
21st Century, post Covid Leadership requires a different mindset. Presenting leadership as a list of carefully defined qualities (like strategic, analytical, performance-oriented and bottom-line focus) no longer holds.Leadership is an inside game that starts with self-reflection and awareness, strong values, and a sustainable and equitable mindset. The SMP Action Lab gave me the context and tools to consult and coach senior leaders on their people, profit/purpose, and planet strategies.
The program has allowed me to deepen this inspiring framework that links to conscious leadership. To be a leader starts with oneself, each individual understanding what I think, how do I act, what motivates me. This has been a self-discovery workshop, well designed to grow as conscious leaders and be the change we want to see in the world. In my work as a coach I have found that the 12 Sustainability Mindset Principles are coming alive in corporate leaders, becoming increasingly who they are in head, heart and hands. This impacts their actions!

The Sustainability Mindset Indicator (SMI) is a great contribution towards developing an urgently needed sustainability mindset. It supports individuals, teams and organizations alike in identifying areas for development.
Facilitators and coaches can use it to fine-tune their offering to actual needs. Individuals will find the in-depth personalized reports invaluable for the insight-furthering hints and questions capable of triggering a true mindshift. We successfully introduced the SMI in our Sustainability in Finance MindShift program to 25 professionals from banking and money management in summer 2021 and will continue using it. Congratulations! And “Thank you.”

The SMI has been transformational to my teaching and learning practices and fits perfectly with the University of Winchester’s focus on embedding education for sustainable development into the formal and informal curriculum. I am so grateful for having discovered it!
