  • Account Executive | Alteryx

    “SOAR played an integral role in my development, especially during an unprecedented year full of change and uncertainty. The program helped me peel the layers of understanding myself, what motivates me, how I communicate, how I build and nurture relationships. SOAR provided me with much more than I could have imagined."

  • Human Resources Manager | Toyota

    “Out of all of the trainings and development programs that I have been a part of, the SOAR program for Black Women has been the best and most positive experience. I have gained skills that I have used immediately and I have no doubt that being a part of this will positively affect the trajectory of my career.”

  • Senior Process Engineer | Ashland

    “SOAR has been such a rewarding and fruitful journey. It pushed me to show my core values, show my authentic self even at work, create my own path and be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I am grateful for SOAR for providing me with a space to connect, discover, learn, and share experiences and perspectives with a remarkable group of women.”

  • Brand Manager | P&G

    “The SOAR experience was truly transformational. I learned so much about myself, which I then was able to apply to become a more effective leader of others. And the relationships created with the other women, are truly priceless. I know they will be the most valuable career resource I will ever have.”

  • Supervisor | UPS

    “I gained so much from my participation in the SOAR program. I learned the pitfalls that I was allowing myself to fall into. I have since prevented those falls and am truly a more successful female leader because I am applying much of the knowledge to my career as well as my everyday life. So much wisdom; so much self-awareness; so enlightened. I am truly a better leader because of my SOAR experience!”

  • Projects Execution Director | SPX FLOW

    “The SOAR program has been a great opportunity for me by giving me the chance to build a wider network within the organization. Thanks to SOAR, I developed more self awareness which helped me to work on my goals and values with more guidance and determination.”
