RESULTS

HEAR FROM OUR PAST MLP PARTICIPANTS

WHAT PAST MLP PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY

“I am proud to say I got promoted this month to Director. It was a lengthy process and involvement and reviews from quite a few stakeholders, but it happened. MLP was instrumental in getting me to the next step as I instituted principles learned right away. I can’t thank you enough for an amazing program.

MLP changed my career life!”

“This opportunity allowed me take control of my self-doubt, not celebrating my own wins, and worse of all self- inflicted fear! You get to meet with individuals that have their own experiences but oddly enough you can relate to their world. You hear from leaders that coach to your strengths and encourage you to recognize who you are and who you want to become. MLP was always a safe place to be your “AUTHENTIC” self, but what you don’t realize at first is that you start to tap into your own strengths, and it begins to shine through in your Work life and Personal life.”

“Since starting The Magnolia Leadership Program I have learned so many techniques that have proven to be successful. This program has given me tools, ideas, guidance AND the confidence that will not only help to mold my career but also to help me personally. I feel like I'm a force to be reckoned with! I'm so happy to be a part of The Magnolia Leadership network and look forward to building on the relationships I've gained during these last six months!”
