MANAGER TESTIMONIALS
Rave reviews from employers
"This incredible program helped a diverse set of women in the early stages of their careers build the confidence and skills to accelerate their potential at Salesforce. From the foundational curriculum to the seasoned coaching from experienced business leaders, our team felt empowered and energized to make a bigger impact on their careers, our business and our customers."
“Recently promoted to her first managerial role, the timing was right for Roksana to fully benefit from Equipt Women. This was a much better investment than a comparably priced conference or training course, as the eight-week duration facilitated immediate application of the skills to Roksana’s job and established an interactive loop to gain real-world advice and input along the way.”
"Since Carlee has been part of the Equipt Women network, I have seen a tremendous increase in her confidence and focus at work. In fact, she's been clear and vocal about wanting to lead a critical new initiative that will be a game-changer for our organization and teams. I have no doubt that her enthusiasm and ownership of this work will enable her to continue to shine as a leader."
"Our HR Business Partner went through the program last year. I observed a meaningful change in her confidence and willingness to trust and communicate her instincts and point of view. She developed a broader perspective through sharing insights and common experiences with her peers in the program. The program offered the right blend of personal growth and reflection with learning valuable skills and tools to use in the workplace."
"This spring, Olivia received a well-deserved promotion. By working with Equipt Women, Olivia built greater self-confidence and strengthened her self-advocacy skills. It was her ability to clearly communicate her contributions to the organization and be explicit in her expectations that allowed her and I to advocate for her advancement. Olivia's renewed confidence and sharpened skillset has brought great benefits to her, our team and the organization overall."
