“One of my biggest takeaways from the program is that my leadership aspirations are attainable. To move from where I am today to where I want to be as an influential leader in my company, there really is a formula. There are skills, techniques and tools that this program is teaching us how to leverage to position ourselves to lead change, become the head of a division, or whatever your leadership goal may be… it is attainable. This realization has reignited my growth and confidence. The growth of my confidence is the biggest change I’ve experience as a result of the program… it has just skyrocketed as I learn valuable new skills to stay resilient in the face of the ever-changing business landscape.”
