Testimonials
“Before joining WLEP, I struggled with self-doubt and often second-guessed my leadership abilities. This program taught me to own my voice, reframe my mindset, and advocate for myself in high-stakes meetings. Within six months, I was promoted to a senior leadership position! WLEP is a game-changer for any woman ready to reach her full potential.”
Monique R., Senior Project Manager, Tech Industry
“I finally stopped waiting for permission to lead. Shanell taught me to position myself for leadership opportunities, build my professional brand, and confidently negotiate my salary. Because of her 1:1 Coaching, I secured a director-level role and increased my income by 35%!”
Kimberly A., Director of Marketing, Fortune 500 Company
“As a woman in STEM, I often felt like my voice wasn’t valued. The STEM Leadership Accelerator gave me the tools to advocate for myself, confidently articulate my ideas, and build a powerful network of mentors and allies. I’ve since stepped into a leadership role and am mentoring other women in the industry. This program is exactly what women in STEM need!”
Dr. Amanda P., Senior Research Scientist, Biotechnology
"I was hesitant to take on leadership roles in my company, feeling like I wasn’t ‘ready.’ The WLEP completely shifted my mindset. Working with Shanell personally, helped me develop confidence, influence, and resilience. I’ve led two major projects since, and my organization has recognized me as a top-performing leader. This program changed my career—and my life."
