I came to Create Your Leadership feeling frustrated with burnout, struggling with setting boundaries and lacking confidence in how to lead a team. After our 10 weeks together, I am a force to be reckoned with. I'm now able to set boundaries that are important to me and be more present at work and at home. I have tools now that help me be the best version of myself and make the best decisions for me. I was so nervous at first, thinking others had more experience, and after the first class, all those fears were gone. I quickly learned that no matter your title or experience, we can still all have the same concerns, issues, problems and questions and it was comforting to be surrounded by people who were in the same headspace as me. I felt safe to be vulnerable and learn from Kim and Jennifer and the other participants as well. I revisit my leadership statement often which helps me realign with how I want to show up as a leader. Learning about my energy with the ELI was huge for me. I now understand myself more and clearly see why I communicate the way I do and how others communicate the way that they do. I would absolutely recommend Create Your Leadership! You'll learn so much about yourself, how you work, how you lead and learn how to get better in all those areas. This is a wonderful opportunity to get better, be more vulnerable, stand up for what you deserve and this class is a perfect way to step into that part of yourself!

I’m grateful I made the decision to join the Create Your Leadership program. Expertly led by Jennifer and Kim, I found each session full of useful knowledge and well thought out exercises. This was further solidified by lively group discussion, breakout sessions and introspection. I loved hearing other perspectives and learned a lot through the group dynamic as well.

Designed to be practically applied, they shared professional tools and techniques to help us thrive, not only in the work environment but also personally. If you want to hone your professional skills and be reinvigorated in your career this is a great workshop. It also helped me get clarity around areas of personal and professional development and created a path forward. All in all, I was impressed by the material offered, the way the program was so well moderated and the excellent communication throughout. This group helped me create a more refined leadership vision that I’ve applied to my career.

Create + Lead offers an open environment to gain clarity on how you want to lead in your organization, be heard, be present - and provides actionable assignments to put changes in motion. The 9-week group program was a valuable time to connect - even amidst the demands of having four young children and working full time - to center and ground myself, and realign to my values and goals. The biggest takeaway for me was the acknowledgement of the types of leaders I chose to learn from and the type of leader I strive to be as I grow my team. I have been able to shift my mindset in a positive way. Rather than seeing problems, I'm looking for solutions with how to level-up my team, expand upon collaboration, and learn as we grow. It’s led me to re-evaluate how I lead and the type of environment I wish to create for those around me.
