#MiCSS testimonials

"In working with people of other generations, we have to be willing to do the work; to build a bridge and then leverage their strength. I loved the encouragement and inspiration Tim Elmore brought to us on Thursday!"
“I was reminded that each and every one of us plays a key role in leadership despite our titles. It also takes a lot of self-awareness, patience, and collaboration to reach the goals we want to achieve.”
“I felt empowered hearing from those that are in the trenches. I left the Symposium feeling motivated.”
“The hospitality and guest speakers were on point. Loved the socializing after the workshops.”

“I really enjoyed the topics such as mental health and leadership as well as the presenters, student performances, and the interactive nature of the workshops.”
