I registered for the Taking the Stage program with the goal of increasing my confidence and presence as a leader in our company. What I left with was an experience that will follow me into my personal life and beyond. The facilitator, Brooke Sophia, has a unique ability to engage and inspire a group to open up to change and growth. This is not your typical leadership program.
