QUIN Programme Feedback
Environmental & Human Security CoordinatorPacific Region
Thank you for the opportunity to go through the course! this is amazing! I had the most knowledgeable experience learning through each module and making sense of the work we carry out in regional and international organizations. Resilience is important! however having the right approaches, right tools and the knowledge and confidence is key! Thank you. With gratitude and appreciation!

I liked the mixture of a masterclass with the cohort and lecturer and they way this was framed more of a discussion rather than a 'lecture' style. This provided an open forum for meaningful discussions and exploration of key issues. The breadth of topics and structure of the course was excellent. I look forward to seeing if future courses extend into broader ESG and sustainability leadership.

I found this course to be well-structured, informative, and engaging. The content was clearly explained and highly relevant. One of the highlights was the group project, which provided a great opportunity for networking, encouraged collaboration, and allowed us to apply what we’d learned. I feel much more confident in the subject now. The course was genuinely outstanding.

I am incredibly grateful to have been part of the inaugural QUIN5 Women’s Sustainable Leadership Programme. It was a privilege to learn from Dr. Maloney and Professor Hart and to work alongside such a dynamic team of women leaders. Together, my small cohort collaborated to imagine: The Future WOMEN Lead: Equity. Regeneration. Accountability, a 2035 vision for shared oceans and coastlines where green shipping corridors thrive, renewable ports anchor clean transitions, women lead across governance and investment, blue innovation drives equitable job creation, and data transparency supports inclusive, regenerative economies. Deep thanks to the entire QUIN team & guest speakers for fostering such a powerful, visionary space.

Corporate Social Responsibility Consultant Germany
I found the course very versatile and liked the different resource modes (live, videos, texts). I'm aware the course goal, being an "accelerator", is to keep it compact and short. Everything was lovely, well organized, great experts, and I especially loved the co-working part, the mini challenge because it brought us together, to develop ideas and to collaborate and that's what it's all about. Thanks for everything, I really enjoyed the format!

Water Security CoordinatorPacific Region
Thank you for a wonderful inspiring course. I enjoyed the course and feel that I have learnt much new content. Thank you. I went into the course thinking I would learn the things I already knew as a practitioner working in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction for over eight years; however, I was proven wrong.
I gained fresh insights into climate resilience maturity and new climate reporting frameworks like ESG, GRI, SASB, and CSRD. I also deepened my understanding of adaptive leadership, sustainable supply chains, and stakeholder communication — all of which are now shaping my work in water security.
Thank you, Dr Jo and Adam, for this invaluable course and for the learning. Thank you for teaching us to think about climate change differently as we tend to look at it through a traditional lens.

Team Leader & Project ManagerPacific Region
The course content was good with a mixture of delivery mode from lecture/zoom seminar arrangement to recordings, notes including video format. The mixture of delivering the content was useful for me as a technical person (Civil Engineer) trying to learn new concept and aligning our experiences with presenters and those shared within the chat groups. It was exciting and inspiring for me to be a leader in the climate action space and how to link our work in a small way impacting the sustainability of our development work, climate actions on a regional and global level. I must say that the experience and the learnings I got from each other, the information shared in the lectures and from experts and the knowledge sharing were invaluable in my learning and my work going forward. Thanks

Considering the environment and our interactions within it was central to the overarching theme of this course. In so doing has widened my understanding of how I might ethically develop my business in environmental terms moving forward over the years. It was fascinating to meet so many talented people from all over the world which again helped me to broaden my understanding of these complex subjects. The course was produced extremely professionally but more importantly developed with that ethos of community which I believe will be pivotal in creating the seismic methodological changes in which our environment needs.

Grateful to connect with colleagues around the world. The tools and lessons shared in the course is very important and I have been trying to run parallels with how we can apply this knowledge in the Pacific and integrate these into our current efforts. Highly recommend the course to my other colleagues. Thanks again.

CEO, Sustainability EnterpriseEngland
I really enjoyed the course itself, the masterclasses were great eye openers, esp. hearing the stories of what is going on in different parts of the world. Teaming up with other fellow accelerators on the other side of the globe was great and overall, very enjoyable. Thank you again for the opportunity.
