SPOTLIGHT: REVERB

REVERB is a non-profit organization that uses its rock star platform to motivate music lovers to save the earth. Shine Your Light has had the pleasure of being their strategic consultant and leadership coach since they began 16 years ago.

Founded in 2004 by environmentalist Lauren Sullivan and her musician husband, Adam Gardner of Guster, REVERB creates and executes comprehensive, custom programs to green music tours while engaging concertgoers to take action for the environment.

They’re always doing something cool and fun: interactive “eco-villages” with local environmental nonprofits, farm service projects with famous musicians and their fans, visiting the rainforest in the Amazon and lobbying congress to help… If there’s an important environmental issue, you can bet REVERB is there both leading and doing their part.

REVERB believes that all of us can be active participants in protecting the environment and creating real, large-scale, and measurable change.

”Laurie has been there for me since I first founded my organization. Over the past 16 years, she has helped me grow immensely as a leader, especially around communication, strategic decisions, and sticky employee issues. She has been instrumental to our organization over the years, guiding us through our various ups and downs, focusing us on our priorities, and helping us to become the tight-knit, highly effective team we are. She draws from 25 years of her own experience with literally thousands of other organizations, pulling out just the right tools, advice, and next steps we need at just the right time. I have never met another leadership trainer who is as skillful, caring, intelligent, insightful, engaging, and FUN!”
