TESTIMONIALS

  • Dynamic

    I thought she was so dynamic, and I really took away a lot about the tension between finding organizations that align with your personal mission versus trying to bring your personal mission to an organization, and how both have their advantages/disadvantages.

  • Validating

    This session put a name to lots of feelings I had and offered good breakout discussion starters. I also really enjoyed Alisa's responses in the Q&A portion; Alisa's in-the-moment answers were super insightful and she should consider giving more time for them!

  • Reflective

    Thank you for starting with that inner reflection for us! I have never really been pushed to reflect on my personal / professional traits like this. Also, the vocabulary that you presented to us (worship of the written word, etc) has been really helpful for me to sort through the experiences I have had during my fellowship.
