Overall, I’m a HUGE fan of this program and my experience in it. The ability to offer 1:1 coaching after every cohort session was an incredible opportunity to get some extra coaching for experts in their respective fields. Each of these individuals were awesome and so well-versed in their specific area. Thank you for the opportunity to participate!
