Today, I was honored to complete the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative program at Harvard and now count Cohort 24 as valued partners and friends. If you are looking for a phenomenal life-changing leadership program, do consider this one. I highly recommend it!

I am grateful for my time with NPLI Cohort 24 at Harvard University and I leave there better prepared to lead through crisis. This program challenged the way we think, exposed us to tremendous leaders from the public and private sectors, and provided us with the tools needed to effectively drive through our “You’re It” moments.
