June 9, 2017: Inner Critic, Meet Gratitude, by Andrea
Topic: Gratitude
Andrea founded The Coloring ProjectTM in 2015, as a way to harness the benefits of coloring as a tool for mindfulness, focus, transformation, and self-discovery. Building the muscles of presence, focus, and intentional practice are necessary for success. The Coloring Project’s purpose and products provide both a trip to the mental gym and an accompanying mental massage. She works across corporate and non-profit leadership events, team building exercises, and community engagement events.
Andrea currently resides in Seattle. Outside of her professional coaching and training career, when she’s not coloring, you can find her dancing (Salsa, Afro-Brazilian, Hip Hop, and Zumba, for starters) or at the theatre for any Broadway musical that happens to be in town.
