Experts on making your environment productive and ride-or-die friends, Andrea Anderson and Kerry Thomas, prove to us that we must “be careful what we keep” in all areas of our lives, from what’s on our desks to the people in our lives. Andrea and Kerry highlight the profound ability of women to not only network in business to support and facilitate one another’s success, but they exemplify the truth that loyal, thriving friendships happen when and where you least expect. These two dynamos even share some productivity life hacks you won’t want to miss!

About Andrea Anderson, CEO of Productive Environment Institute


Andrea started her career in education before moving to work as an in-home family counselor helping troubled children and their families. With a strong focus on family systems, this was the start of what would become her life's calling.


Though she found being a counselor gratifying, what called to her most was the opportunity to organize and streamline her company’s operational systems. Soon she found herself organizing the administrative offices and working as the Operations Manager. 


It was the perfect segue to meeting The Paper Tiger Lady, and eventually helping to launch the worldwide Certified Productive Environment Specialist™ program, in partnership with Barbara Hemphil at the Productive Environment Institute.


Andrea lives with her two dogs, Charlie, adopted from the streets of Kuwait, and Buddy, adopted locally from Canines for Service. She regularly hosts business colleagues at her home, also known as the Productive Environment Center in Carolina Beach, NC.
