IEL was an opportunity to learn, network, and strategize with like-minded professionals in my community. The collaboration is something that I will carry forward!
Attending IEL was a worthwhile investment from my company and provided unique opportunities to fast track my leadership development over 6 immersive sessions. I will carry the lessons with me throughout the rest of my career.
