Andrea Dean, Coach • Consultant • Speaker

"The green wave is gaining so much momentum that trying to catch the wave - or stay on it! - can sometimes feel overwhelming! Indeed, now is the time for concerted and organized efforts to make our businesses and lives green, inside and out! The Green Business Coaching Group is a great tool to streamline information and gain useful insights that will work for you and your green business needs. I personally was looking to understand where businesses were heading or what types of plans were being thought through. I gained precious information on business needs and barriers to "going green" that would have necessitated hours more research had it been done in a more "classical" fashion. Throughout the coaching, I found each member's idea sharing and Andrea's masterful coaching skills a recipe for energized inspiration and creative innovation! Moreover, there is that added value of on-line webinars that improve my carbon footprint, that should not be forgotten!"

"You'll participate with like-minded people who have a passion for eco-consciousness on a wide range of topics. Past participants include a filmmaker, architect, small-scale chicken farmer, arborist, and artist. Join the teleconference from the comfort of your home or office. I' de recommend Andrea Dean because she can help you focus your goals on how to incorporate the principles into your personal and business practices. Andrea is a wealth of information and she can get you started on your path."

- Deb Pun Discoe

"Andrea's Green Group has been provided both a comfortable haven and a place to be challenged on what we all are contributing to the movement to make the planet a better place. Andrea has such positive energy herself that she attracts people to the group that are clearheaded, critical thinkers with a wonderful sense of nurturing mixed in.

It's the time of the week that I most look forward to and never leave without a sense of connectedness to the group and to the planet.

The group discussions, and Andrea's insights specifically, have helped me to reset my priorities and move a project forward that had been languishing for some months. The time spent with the Green Group has been some of the most significant of the past year."
