I invite you to join me in this course and embark with me on a circular journey.
You will learn what the circular economy is, where to discover circular ideas, how business models are presently shifting, where to look for financing and, most importantly, why you must become part of this transformational shift, whether you are a for-profit or non-profit entrepreneur or even an intrapreneur in a large company. You will be surprised how many opportunities are available all around you. Plus, you will discover how many companies are already part of this transformational shift because this course is packed with practical ideas and inspirational stories. In short: ideal for all forward-thinking individuals.
Once again, I invite you to join us.
P.S. Please note that the first version of this course was recorded in 2017-2018. Thankfully, a lot has changed since, which makes my work easier. At the same time, with our training and coaching presence in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, we are aware of how much work is still ahead of us.
Together with you, we can get there.
