I am a strong believer in integration, collaboration and inclusiveness in order to achieve a broader impact. I am certain that spaces like this, where knowledge and ideas are shared, are the best way to create real social and economic transformation.

This program has strengthened my leadership skills through exposure to executive-level management information and skills, building a network of professional leaders who can provide support in my leadership challenges, and in facilitating small-group conversations on leadership development such as through the Crimsonbridge scholarship awardee lunch. While there are many other useful and impactful leadership programs available, this program's focus on nonprofit leadership and the nuanced aspects of the non-profit sphere make it particularly useful.

Spending time with a group of fierce, committed, leaders has been wonderful. I highly recommend Bob and the Positive Intelligence program for anyone curious about how to incorporate daily practices that will make you a steady, compassionate, and skillful leader.

Coaching with Bob truly gave me hope. He used the language of Positive Intelligence to help me get true clarity about my next steps and how my saboteurs and sage are warring against one another.

The first couple of months in my new role felt daunting and I experienced imposter syndrome. However, thanks to the Certificate Program, I learned that some of the challenges I had been facing were challenges that other executive directors 5-10 years into their roles were still facing. I feel more confident now as a result of the Certificate Program.

As I transition into a new role at the Carlos Rosario School as Chief of Staff, I feel like the program validated and rounded out my near decade of experience in the nonprofit sector. The curriculum was relevant to my organization’s challenges and opportunities, and the capstone project will be really impactful in determining the direction the school takes to pursue the opportunity of geographic expansion.
