Testimonials
“My experience as a participant in the first cohort of the Leadership Institute for Black Women was magical! The program helped me to take a step back to reflect on my career journey to date, acknowledging the challenges and obstacles I’ve experienced, and helped me create a strategy for my future.”
“The Leadership Institute For Black Women (LIFBW) taught me how to excel professionally, leading me to getting a promotion that aligned perfectly with my skill set and strengths. The LIFBW prepared me to meet the expectations of
my position.”
“The three most significant things that I learned was 1) have a daily meditation now and practice meditation 4 out of 7 days of the week. 2) I am more kind to myself. 3) I have a whole toolbox of tools that I can use now.”
“Today, none of the changes that I have
seen at work would have been possible without the advice and action steps of Ms. Chantelle Fitzgerald. In speaking with her, I was not only reminded of my value, but I was also given tools needed to express my value in a way that produced substantial results on my job!”
“LIFBW gave me the safe place to use my voice and the support I needed to make hard decisions about my career future.”
“Absolutely one of the most empowering, incredible tools that I have learned! Chantelle gave me a glimpse of how powerful the pause is and I’ve been consitently utilizing this incredible
technique several times a day!”

something valuable to take back to your workplace, personal life and more.”
