Favorite Quotes:

1. I kept waiting for it to get better. I kept waiting for the change to happen. I kept waiting for the company to recognize all the things that I had done…I think for me, it was, I don't care what I have to do, I just don't want to be here anymore. —Melissa
2. I love the support, it's almost intoxicating. It's something that I just keep wanting to come back and get that support and get that feedback and run with it. I mean, that's how corporate America should be. That's how women should be supporting women. And I never truly understood women supporting women until I was in this program. —Melissa
3. It's a huge part of my heart to be able to change the corporate culture, woman by woman. When you understand the things that you now understand, it will change the way that you lead your team, it will change the way you lead your leader, it will change how you show up. —Blake
4. There are a lot of solutions out there that are bandaids when we're unhappy in our careers. The problem is nobody's really getting to the root cause of what it is that’s really that's misaligned in your life. What is it really that you need to move forward? —Blake
