Here’s what past PEAK Leadership Academy participants have to say:
“I
did not expect to learn such bottom-line action steps that raised my consciousness
and changed my everyday thinking about business growth and effectiveness.
Never before did I realize and employ these components of growth that have
actually changed my approach to work and results. PEAK worked for me, even
after owning and growing two companies. No longer is it my energy alone that
drives the engine.”
– Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, President, Berkhemer Clayton, Inc.
“NAWBO-LA’s
PEAK Leadership Academy gave me the opportunity to work on my company from
the outside in. The expert guidance of Yvonne Randle and the collective wisdom
of a roomful of women business owners who generously shared the lessons of
their hard-won success made the entire experience incredibly worthwhile…and
provided me with a blueprint for re-envisioning my business.”
– Bonnie Nijst, President/CEO, Zeesman Communications, Inc.
“Every
woman business owner should take the PEAK Leadership Academy as her guide
of starting or growing a business. The program gave me the opportunity to
update my skills and work with colleagues from different industries, sharing
our experiences.”
– Maria de Lourdes Sobrino, Founder and CEO, Lulu’s Dessert®
