“I am more confident with the team that I lead and I have tools to help me make better choices.”

The AWL experience transformed how I think about being a leader and has allowed me to be more intentional in my leadership. It provided me with a safe space to be vulnerable with other women leaders. As an outgoing introvert who can struggle to answer in the moment, I appreciated the chance to connect with others and practice hard scenarios in this safe space.

I am more confident with the team that I lead and I have tools to help me make better decisions. I have always believed in balance, but AWL provided me with the research to back up my lived experience - you need to be a whole person in order to be an effective leader.

I know that I have other women who I can turn to when I need help or to practice a hard conversation.

The coaching has provided me with a safe place where I can be completely honest and practice hard conversations. The sessions provide me with a place to reflect, something that I don’t always take time for on my own. My coach reminds me to be a be a learner, not a judger and to dig below the surface with my teammates.

Do it and don’t wait. I wish I had learned more of the content and skills ten years ago.

I am more confident in my leadership and better equipped to get to the bottom of hard situations.
