“The tools and training provided by Women in Leadership (WIL) allowed me to continuously fill my confidence cup and push through the doubts, believing that all I needed was within me already. I can’t thank [Coro] enough for the amazing training [they] have provided and continue to provide. 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.”
