The leadership journey is a chance of a lifetime – not to be missed. How often do you get to meet 10 other inspiring leaders and get to know them really well, sharing challenges and fun? How often do
we get to reflect on ourselves, our lives and our purpose? I rediscovered many talents I had forgotten and that I do need focus and a specific purpose to put them into action. This program gave me both.
What a gift! Robin Anderson, senior financial analyst and land trust board member, San Francisco, CA
