AWE Accelerator was the most impactful eight weeks of my professional life! I used to be that kid who sat at the back of the class, an introvert, but Accelerator made me comfortable with myself! I saw true value in participating with the team and everyone was interactive too! I’m in awe of Accelerator!

I hadn’t really thought about how I wanted people to see me. Now I know I want people to know I appreciate the people I work with, I’m fiercely protective of my team, and I’m a strong leader. That’s what I want to be said when my name is brought up in a room. I was promoted to Senior Manager on the heels of AWE Accelerator. I started to apply some of the techniques I learned and I believe it was noticed.

AWE Accelerator gave me the confidence, motivation and empowerment to overcome the imposter syndrome that I was experiencing in all of my roles, in addition to sharpening my skills. My favorite session focused on Executive Presence. It made me feel qualified and deserving of success, as crazy as it sounds, and empowered me to navigate conversations advancing myself. It gave me the encouragement I needed to view every day as a new opportunity to be great and excel. This is the type of program that can change someone’s life and motivate them to take their career to the next level or do something they may have always been afraid of.

Honestly, I was super skeptical at first because I participated in several mentorship and sponsorship programs years ago and thought I’d gotten all that I could out of them. But what I found was that AWE was nothing like those programs. Other programs are so focused on early career or so focused on getting to the C-Suite but AWE Accelerator was a network of mid-career people like me. Taking an hour out of my week to connect with equally professional women reminded me to expand my idea of what mentorship and sponsorship is.

During the AWE Accelerator course, I learned a lot about myself and ways to enhance my abilities to further my career. The content of the program was excellent and I believe it will be extremely beneficial to me in the coming years as I shift my focus to my career.
