Testimonials

For Our Mentoring Program...

“My protégé is an amazing young professional with a strong sense of achievement.  Her commitment to continual personal progress is truly impressive. I have been pleasantly surprised at how many of my past professional learning experiences throughout my career have allowed me to illustrate the pitfalls and positives of a certain course of action.  And, hopefully, helps my protégé to excel in her career with less 'bumps and bruises' than I did!”
 - Susan Roof, Mentor & Past President, CPAFE (Director - Product Development & Management, Significa Insurance Group, Inc.)

“My mentor gave me, 'Now, Discover Your Strengths,' as a reading assignment.  We’ve based a lot of our discussion on quiz results surrounding this activity.  It’s been really interesting and has sparked good discussion.  The meetings have been really valuable both from a personal and professional standpoint.  I am really getting a lot out of them. Great suggestions, support, communication, brainstorming, and guidance.  My mentor is fantastic and I am so pleased with the relationship.” 
 - Kristina Burlew, Protégé (Momentum, Inc.)

"The mentoring experience is one that enriches the mentor and the mentee, changing both forever.  It consists of knowledge exchange, skill development, problem solving, individual strategic planning, and personal sharing.  I have discovered that the rewards associated with mentoring far exceed the monthly time investment.  Further, when the right match is made, a deep and lasting friendship can result."                                                                                                                                                                                         - - Sylvia Hepler, Mentor (Launching Lives)
