I’m in a role where I work with others on developing their careers. Sometimes this means I’m last to take time for my development. Drake's leadership program has helped me with a master-level curriculum designed to identify and leverage my leadership strengths, an executive coach to help stretch me in areas of opportunity, and a structure to create an effective and impactful business plan. The combination of these three elements is like no other experience I’ve had in my 20-year career.
