Success Stories
Students of Springboard Academy are able to put lessons learned to work immediately and many see tangible results before they’ve even finished class. Some have received promotions with increased pay and responsibilities and others have landed new jobs (one recent graduate even got her dream job!). Here’s what some of them have to say:
“Being part of the GoGirl Academy course was amazing! The classes were fast-paced and packed with excellent advice. The coaches and advisers were all experts in their field and truly inspirational. I am sure the friendships and connections I have made throughout the course will last a lifetime. GoGirl Academy helped me develop my own unique brand and empowered me to reach my full potential!”
Gwen C., law firm administrator
“This is such an amazing experience. I learned how to fine tune, market and brand myself professionally, alongside an incredible team of women and support. It’s given me more confidence at my job, even my co-workers are noticing!”
Amy P., sales executive
“What I got out of GoGirl Academy was more than I expected. I was able to instantly apply what I learned. I felt more confident walking into a room, communicating via email or in person, and was conscious of my brand and how I want people to remember me. Getting hair, makeup, and wardrobe advice was the icing on the cake!”
Jennifer A., facilities manager, Big 4 accounting firm
“Being a member of GoGirl Academy has not only made me a more confident leader in the workplace, but it has made me more confident overall. Margo Myers, Jenni Hogan, and Suzanne Keel-Eckmann are excellent teachers in class, as well as encouraging coaches outside of the classroom. They also brought in local leaders in various areas such as networking, wardrobe, and public speaking to give us insider tips and tricks of the trade. Additionally, it is because of the skills and confidence that I gained as a member of GoGirl Academy that led to attaining my first career job! I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants a competitive edge in the workplace!”
Stephanie S., non-profit administrator
“GoGirl Academy has propelled me to create some needed changes in my professional career. It’s about being the BEST YOU – from knowing how to walk into a room, write an email, the power and importance of Social Networking, or give a presentation, just to name a few. In today’s competitive professional market, it’s quintessential to stand out with your own Personal Brand.”
Cheryl S., non-profit executive director
“The list of what I have gained from being a participant in GoGirl Academy is extensive: instruction in public speaking, business etiquette, how to discover and be true to my brand, dressing for success, leadership and mentoring skills. I whole-heartedly recommend GoGirl Academy to anyone wanting to launch, accelerate, or transition her career.”
Sima K., physician and patient-advocate
“As the CFO of a large Seattle based manufacturer, I have the opportunity to network in both finance and within my industry. GoGirl Academy gave me the opportunity to meet a variety of smart, amazing women in different trajectories of their careers. It rejuvenated my self-awareness and reinforced my obligations to mentor young women. This rewarding program allowed me personal development through thoughtful introspection. With my busy career and life, I don’t often get this amount of time dedicated to myself.”
