Our Impact

“We have first-hand seen an advancement in our mission because of the deeper network, civic engagement, and personal and professional skills building that come with joining the Coro community. Staff who have completed Coro programs demonstrate greater adaptive leadership skills at DWC, a timelessly important quality, but one that converging health and social pandemics demands of our current workforce today more than ever.”

“Coro’s commitment to ongoing learning and alumni engagement ensures that the benefits of the program extend far beyond its conclusion. I now have access to a vast network of remarkable leaders, continuing education sessions, and exclusive networking opportunities that will continue to support my growth and impact as a leader.”

“Coro is more than just a space for leadership programming, it is an institution that builds community, sharpens skills through the use of group dynamics, and acts as a catalyst for empowering leaders to boldly be the ideal state leaders of our world.”

“Coro shook me up, forced me to re-examine how I see the world and relate to it, and opened my eyes as to how to lead effectively against a backdrop of uncertainty, increasing complexity and new players.”

“Coro helped me become a leader in my everyday life… before I began the program, I often sat on the sidelines… Learning to look at myself from an outside perspective is one of the greatest gifts Coro gave me.”

“The tools and training provided by Women in Leadership allowed me to continuously fill my confidence cup and push through the doubts, believing that all I needed was within me already. I give WIL all the credit for disrupting me, opening my eyes to potential within me, and giving me the wings needed to take the leap.”

“CRLN was an incredible, nourishing, educational and reflective program that allowed me to take time to step away from my day-to-day work to reflect on best practices, level up my leadership skills, and build meaningful, intergenerational, personal relationships with my colleagues across sectors working to advance similar aims.”

“The Coro Lead LA program was a reinvigorating experience for me. I found Coro’s leadership framework and curriculum to be incredibly useful, offering me practices that I could apply in my profession as well as approaches to tackling interpersonal and complex problems…”

“Participating in Lead LA has been a refreshing boost of energy to many parts of my life. Our facilitators have taught us tools and frameworks that invigorate the ways I see myself as a teammate and enhance the ways I work with others. It’s been refreshing to step out of the sectors I am used to operating in and have new professional and personal curiosities sparked.”

“The caliber of diverse executive peers made the program that much more valuable. The program was rooted in effective and ethical leadership, which assisted me to think much more strategically, and afforded me with the tools to develop and expand my leadership mindset. ELN also allowed me to uncover innovative solutions that best fit my leadership style.”

“We need programs like Coro to uplift new generations of diverse leaders, and equip them with the skills and resources to take on our toughest challenges… [Coro is] a great blueprint for how to move our city, our region, and our society forward…It’s helped me immensely throughout my political career…”

“I owe much of who I am and how I got here to the enriching experience that Coro–and my fellow Coro Fellows–gave me. As a Coro Fellow, I learned the value of being an effective leader using critical thinking skills. I benefited from being exposed to real-life situations and diverse schools of thought. I also experienced amazing personal growth, and an opportunity to meet new friends & colleagues that have helped carry me through life’s journey.”
