I have been interested in a shift and this program allowed me the opportunity to think it out in steps and get feedback along the way. I was able to make things manageable and realistic. I would recommend this program to people who have a passion and vision they want to see come to life. Thanks to the facilitators and my amazing cohort.

This program gave me the skills, the framework, and the community support I needed to create my new venture. Even more, it provided that accountability I didn't know I needed to make sure I was faithful to the calling I've received from God. I'm so thankful for all the care and learning.
