Being part of this program has given me the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. Based on what I’ve learned and experienced, I know the leader I want to be and understand the power of influence in leadership. Leadership is not a word to be used loosely and this program has given me the ability to distinguish someone who is a leader and someone who possesses leadership skills.  There is in fact a difference, and many forms of leading.  In addition, this program has opened my eyes on how important and powerful followers are in an organization. Power does not only lie within leaders, but also lies within followers who deserve respect, and psychological safety.  In my current position, I am now able to lead effectively and apply the knowledge I’ve learned to improve the work environment not just for myself, but for others as well.

Through this program I have been able to build better teams, motivate individuals more successfully, and manage morale through a number of challenging experiences within my organization.  I feel my people truly look to me as a mentor, leader, and confidant and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to build and enhance my skills in the areas where they are needed the most.
