2007 Program Testimonials

The Women’s Leadership Lab came at a key pivotal point for me and my company. I was new to the company and was put in a brand new role. I felt uncertain in regard to expectations, my own contributions, and confidence in general. It was a brave new world and I was frankly very nervous. WLL made me step outside of the pressure so I could once again take stock of what I knew , what I could contribute and restored my confidence to be the leader I was but even better. WLL enlightened and encouraged me, sparking new momentum and created a positive cycle of improvement and innovation within the new team as well as positively impacting results for the company. The dividend for the investment is a guaranteed windfall, thank you WLL.

I particularly valued the opportunity to share experiences and compare notes with other senior leaders from a wide range of sectors. In several instances, I was able to ask for advice on a particularly sticky topic of current concern. The feedback I received was invaluable, not just to me personally, but to my organization as whole, as I gleaned new ideas and insights from some of the brightest minds in leading organizations.

To others attending now, take advantage of that opportunity to brainstorm, compare notes, and most importantly commit to attend all the sessions! I gained knowledge and energy from each module.

It is said that the truly educated never graduate. Similarly, truly great leaders never cease to seek learning opportunities that will further enhance their effectiveness. The Women’s Leadership Lab is just such a learning opportunity, and truly one of the finest personal and professional growth experiences of my career.
