I attended Colleen Spears’ three-day Sustainability Workshop–this was one of the most practical, insightful, and high-impact business workshops I’ve attended. Colleen bridged the gap between sustainability and business strategy, and I walked away with actionable, customized insights for my real estate business.

One of the exercises we did was working through a multiple page Sustainability Spreadsheet designed to identify where a business fit into sustainability models and what areas we can leverage for growth. We worked through where our businesses already align with sustainable practices, opportunities for cost-saving sustainability initiatives, and areas where improving sustainability would increase customer retention, brand differentiation, and community impact.

The spreadsheet forced me to assess my businesses in real-time. And one of the most valuable takeaways was recognizing that sustainability is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each participant also received a private one-on-one consultation with Colleen, focusing on the specific areas most relevant to our particular industry and operations. She prioritized action steps, and identified the highest ROI sustainability strategies. She had customized, strategic recommendations on how to implement that’d lead to financial and operational benefits. This wasn’t just theory or generic sustainability advice–which is what you get in most of these online workshops I think. Colleen tailor-fit strategy.

⭐ Five stars. Practical, eye-opening, results-driven.
