About Ecoawareness
ECOAWARENESS, LLC is a consultancy that helps people understand the new reality of today’s complex and uncertain times, master the new skills needed to thrive, and from there move to meaningful action. We do this by offering a comprehensive course and accompanying books. Ecoawareness LLC was founded by Michiel Doorn, M.S.E. and is registered in North Carolina, USA.
“Key is to really understand what forces are at play today on a physical/global and cosmological level and learn how to work with these. Very simply put: We need a win-win relationship with the Earth”
About Michiel Doorn
Michiel has been a consultant and coach for most of his career. He has a master’s degree in applied resource sciences from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, ranked by QS World University Rankings among the top 10 engineering and technology universities in the world.
The first two decades of his career consisted of rigorous research and project management in environmental science and technology. At the hight of his career, Michiel worked for the International Panel on Climate Change when it was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. Recently, Michiel has focused on systems-oriented approaches such as sustainable Circular Economy for communities and organizations.
A turning point in his life was becoming aware of the disconnect between people’s behavior and knowledge. He became especially fascinated in how our natural and cultural environment shapes us as humans, and vice versa. This is when he launched his strategy and coaching practice focusing on systems thinking, wholeness and connection, always maintaining his practical ‘engineering’ mind to help clients heal, grow and get things done.
He has authored numerous publications and three books, one in Dutch, and two in English. A gifted speaker and teacher who has lectured at two universities, Michiel writes and speaks in understandable and inclusive ways, making complex topics simple, but not simplistic.
“Leadership, risk management, sustainability technologies and circular economy systems are not enough. While I am thoroughly experienced in such fields, I have long since recognized that behavioral, spiritual, psychological and cultural factors are just as important. It is only through a combined and integral approach that we can successfully navigate the global challenges of today.“

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
When I was organizing the most recent Spiral Dynamics Summit on the Future, one of the very first names to come to my mind for a keynote speaker was Michiel Doorn. Over the many years I have known him, Michiel always showed his deep understanding of Spiral Dynamics: A rare healthy Green that understood Orange’s destructive powers and what to do about it, a unique understanding of Yellow that comes from understanding ecological challenges of the Turquoise system combined with rare self-knowledge and worldly wisdom.
I believe, as no other, he is preeminently qualified to weave today’s cosmological, psychological, cultural, technological and ecological realities together. It is an honor and a privilege to see him as a catalyst on the leading edge of the change we need in the world. I give him my full and enthusiastic endorsement.

My sessions with Michiel have been very empowering and grounded in authenticity, non-judgment, and mindfulness. He has a way of using his intuition to expose all of the noise and negative blocks and bring about the focus and clarity I truly need in order to get out of my own way. I have often had trouble making big life decisions and trusting my own intuition, and during my time with Michiel, I have been able to understand more deeply my passion and purpose in this life and how to fulfill it. Michiel is a deeply spiritual being and he has helped me connect more deeply to the spiritual in myself, which has increased my capacity for compassion for others and love for myself.

For my PhD I consulted four different well-known science professors, more than once. But it was Michiel who deeply understood the integral approach within my work and gave me the most valuable and clear feedback which I needed. In my opinion, Michiel has a comprehensive knowledge of sustainability, always incorporating deep understanding of the social and psychological sides of humanness and development. I experience in his approach a great wisdom and non-judging openness towards situations and people.

Michiel coached me for several months. And it was something that just emerged. I really enjoyed working with him because he is a very inspiring man. He is curious and a good listener and has a great understanding of others. And he dares to use those insights in the interest of others. I had very personal conversations with him, without them being heavy or draining. Even when I lived on the other side of the world, Michiel was able to sense my state of mind and shift it just by asking a few simple questions. After every conversation I had with Michiel I found renewed enthusiasm and was eager to start new initiatives!”
