About this Podcast

HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in circular economy and collaboration. She's here to discuss her course, "Professional Certificate in Circular Collaboration." So, Jane, can you tell us more about this course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Absolutely, thanks for having me! This course is designed for professionals who want to drive sustainable change through circular economy principles and strategic collaborations. My own experience working in sustainability consulting led me to see the need for such a program. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Sure. We're seeing a growing emphasis on circular business models, where waste is minimized, and resources are reused or recycled. Additionally, there's increasing recognition of the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration to tackle complex sustainability challenges. HOST: What challenges have you faced in teaching this subject, or that your students often encounter? GUEST: One common challenge is helping students unlearn linear thinking habits and embrace a more holistic, systemic view. Another is addressing the misconception that sustainability measures are costly or less profitable. HOST: That's a significant shift in mindset. Looking forward, where do you see the future of circular collaboration going? GUEST: I believe circular collaboration will become the norm across sectors as organizations recognize the benefits of sustainable practices, not just for the environment, but also for their bottom line. HOST: It's exciting to imagine the possibilities. Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and the valuable work you're doing through this course.
