What Past Participants Are Saying
I’ve been through other leadership programs, but they can become so time consuming. Seemed like we really got down to it with not a lot of wasted time.
The way the questioning happened throughout the whole thing was so different. Asking questions was a huge light bulb for so many people.
The group design is super powerful.
I walked away with a new mentor.
I wondered how it was going to fit in my life, but I left wanting it to continue.
