"Dr. Smith is an outstanding organizer and facilitator. Her relevant content and engagement with the participants helped make our Women’s Business Success 2024 -- Be the CEO of your Future program a great success."
“Attending the leadership workshop was truly transformative for me. What stood out most was how it challenged me to see leadership not just as a title, but as an opportunity to walk boldly in purpose and serve with authenticity.”
