Participant Success Stories
Here's what Nick Wake, one of our most recent graduates from the Baltimore, MD Cohort, had to say about his experience with the T.H.R.I.V.E. Emerging Leaders Reimagined training program.
"The coaching sessions, SME calls and peer-to-peer in person have all been great resources for our business. I came into THRIVE thinking I need to see where we could improve some areas of our company, I will be finishing the program with an expanded growth plan that will take us to another level. To say I am excited would be an understatement! I not only see what we need to start doing, there is also a list of things we need to stop. I am truly thankful for all the time and resources that have been put into this course!"
