"This course was an eye-opening experience for me. The content was relevant; I was able to complete the course work on time without overextending myself and got to work with a large group of likeminded women. Everyone brought their own perspective to the course, and it was always good to readthrough the discussion board posts. This course started the foundation for my leadership path. I know now where my personal strengths and values lie, and how best to exercise them in the workplace for the benefit of others.”
