Testimonials
It’s hard to explain the magic that happens when a diverse group of high-achieving women get together on a regular basis to explore strengths they didn’t know they had and conquer challenges that are all too familiar. The training they receive prepares them to lead boldly in their own authentic way, and the bonds that are formed through our active alumnae network last a lifetime.
Momentum is a life-changing opportunity. The program helps instill the foundational belief that we own our career trajectory. The programming is thought-enhancing, inviting and interactive. Each session allowed time for us to share fresh insights and best practices from the coursework. We were reminded that we are most successful when we leverage our natural strengths to enhance our specific leadership style.

Momentum was an opportunity to unplug and be personally and professionally rejuvenated. The energy and passion at the opening retreat continues today when we come together.. Was I moved beyond my comfort zone at every monthly meeting? Absolutely, as were the many Momentum alumnae before me! Relax, be inspired, be mentored, and be blessed by the Momentum experience.

Momentum gave me permission to breathe, literally, and exposed the powerful qualities that I possess as a woman and as a leader. I now lead with conviction, intentionality, and courage. I’m more confident in who I am and add value to other aspiring women leaders by teaching what I have learned through the program. Momentum is the platform to transform aspiring leaders into world-changing leaders!

Momentum was a reminder that I am only one of many professional women in the community actively managing work and home responsibilities. I was immediately enriched by the experiences, advice, and life lessons of the talented women in my class. That experience allowed us to connect and develop bonds that will carry forward for years to come.
