Join Colette Desmond Fearnley to learn how Staples, a trusted advisor of their customers, has built strong communities over the past three years in their existing coworking spaces.
Presently the Staples Studios are entering the next phase that includes state-of-the-art Podcast Studios in partnership with major media consultants. In addition, Staples communities can communicate with their customers in a whole new way via podcasting. Podcasting is easy and simple! You have a monologue or a conversation with a co-host about a matter that is important to your community and share it over the internet.
Staples’ first showcase for the Coworking, Podcasting and Spotlight Studio is located on Soldiers Field Road in Brighton and the next to expand will be the Spotlight Studios in Danvers and Norwood. Coming soon thereafter will be Co-working, Podcasting and Spotlight Studios in Needham, Government Center, Cambridge and Somerville.

Christine Fortune Guthery is the Founder/President/Executive Director of SPARK Kindness, Inc. SPARK is a non-profit organization with an innovative approach to bullying and violence prevention. SPARK stands for “Successful Positive Authentic Resilient Kids” and has the mission of supporting kind and empowered youth & communities. SPARK (formerly known as the Natick Parents against Bullying & Cyberbullying) has over 2,600 parent members. Since 2010, the organization has conducted dozens of programs on bullying prevention and promoting kindness and resiliency to parents, schools, and community organizations. SPARK works to strengthen collaboration between parents and schools so that young people flourish.
In 2011, the group founded the Natick/Metrowest Anti-Bullying Coalition (ABC). The Natick/Metrowest ABC is a group of over 60 organizations working together to end bullying.

Going forward, the mission of SPARK Kindness is to:
*Provide programs and resources to youth, families, schools & communities to support raising KIND and EMPOWERED youth.
