### Spotlight Your Leadership & Stay Connected
"I was a protégé myself in 2023, and the experience was incredible. I loved meeting, learning, and making connections with a team of amazing women. Almost two years later, I am still connected with many of the ladies from my group, following their continued journeys."
- Verdana Skopljak, Past Protégé
"I joined #GirlsClub for the leadership training, but what I found was so much more—mentorship, real connection, and a community that felt safe and supportive from day one. Gen 7 has been a weekly bright spot, thanks to the inspiring execs and amazing facilitators who make it all feel real and relevant."
- Emily Morris, Past Protégé
"Joining #GirlsClub was one of the most impactful decisions I’ve made for my career and confidence. I walked in second-guessing myself and walked out with a voice I trust, a network of powerful women who inspire me daily, and the tools to step into leadership with courage. This program doesn’t just teach you skills — it transforms the way you see yourself and your potential. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. You’ll find growth, community, and a confidence you carry long after the program ends."
- Jessica Fryback, Past Protégé & Southeastern Printing Fuel Your Future Award Winner
"I’m walking away from #GirlsClub with more than leadership skills! I’m leaving with confidence, a stronger voice, and a sisterhood that has my back. Huge love to my mentor Cari Reed, who pushed me, challenged me, and reminded me to own my seat at the table. #GirlsClub doesn’t just prepare you for the next step, it makes sure you show up unapologetically when you get there."
- Shade Alcine, Past Protégé
"#GirlsClub transformed my imposter syndrome into unshakeable confidence, giving me the permission slip to take up more space, share my most radical ideas, and take full ownership of my dreams. The program didn't just develop my skills—it helped me step into my power and accomplish more than I ever gave myself credit for before."
- Alexandra Blythe, Past Protégé & Protégé of the Year
"#GirlsClub has been a transformative experience that empowered me to grow not just as a leader, but as an authentic and purpose-driven individual. The program created a space where I felt seen, supported, and challenged to rise, both personally and professionally, and strengthened my leadership by encouraging me to lead with intention, resilience, and empathy. As a single mom balancing both a full-time career and full-time academic pursuits, #GirlsClub reminded me that I’m not alone and that investing in myself is not only valid, it’s essential. I’ve walked away with greater confidence, clarity, and a powerful community of women who continue to inspire me."
- Erynn Nelson, Past Protégé
"Being part of this program has been nothing short of transformative. I didn’t realize how much I truly needed this space until I stepped into it. What started as a push outside my comfort zone has evolved into a journey that’s made me more confident, more resilient, and far more intentional about how I show up as a leader. I’ve discovered my limits—and learned to push beyond them in healthy, purposeful ways—while also reflecting on when to do more and when to do less based on what is truly needed. Through this experience, I’ve quieted imposter syndrome and stepped fully into the fearless leader I’ve always aspired to be. This may mark the end of one program, but I know it is only the beginning of what’s next."
- Jax Gill, Past Protégé, Protégé of the Year Nominee & Factor 8 Above and Beyond Award Winner
