I've worked with Carolyn on several projects and have found her to be an absolute joy. She is very professional and has an excellent communication style. Her passion for sustainability runs to the core! I recommend her for any project or speaking engagement related to sustainability and positive change.

I recruited Carolyn in 2010 to guide OCCU through the Re:think Program that she heads at BRING. She was more than willing, even excited to help us out. She was flexible in scheduling, very personable and professional with with the entire process. I was and am still amazed at her knowledge of business sustainability, recycling and reducing our businesses triple bottom line. She has been more than eager to speak at outside engagements as well for me that pertained to the program. I very highly recommend that you contact Carolyn to put your business through the Re:think program.
