Testimonials - General Testimonials

I do not have the words to describe the enthusiasm from the young women after participating in the Mentor Forum. I hope to build on the momentum and interests of our young women in the STEM/STEAM career fields. The doors are always open to you at Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet or any place that I am reaching young aspiring leaders. As I said earlier, "Thank you for saying "Yes" to our students."

Dear Ms. Smiley;

Hello! I wanted to sincerely thank you for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime last week in Fort Lauderdale. I can't tell you enough how inspired and optimstic I was after listening to all those amazing women speak, and how valuable my one-on-one mentoring sessions were. My favorite part of the trip was speaking one-on-one with Dr. Sogade, who convinced me I have what it takes to be an OB-Gyn, and even have my own practice someday. I can't wait to use everything I learned and all of the connections I made as I look forward to college and everything after. One day, I hope to come back to the Enterprising Women's Celebration and Conference--but this time, as an award winner!

Thank you so much!

I thoroughly enjoyed the EW event last week and was honored to be among an inspiring group of women. I admit to hesitating attending this event as there is so much going on in business and life – I am very happy that my decision was to attend.

The break out sessions were excellent and engaging, I particularly liked the open forum approach so women could participate in dialogue. Meeting so many young women courageous enough to start business was inspiring, as were those women who have successfully developed large businesses. Many times we feel alone and isolated in this journey of business ownership and this event afforded many of us to share our journey and help one another.

Monica, you are inspirational to those you support through your magazine by providing this valuable format for networking. Please accept my sincere appreciation for your work, your support and your stamina.

Participating in the EW event inspired me to author a letter to our customers. I’ve attached a copy. Just listening to the panels and speaking with other women made me aware of the value of on-going, valuable communication that is meaningful to customers, internal and external. My next step will be to author a white paper that provides the explanation and value add of this business approach further.
