Anticipation of new GGA class!

 We are one day away from beginning our new GGA Career Acceleration class! As Executive Director and someone very much hands-on in each of our classes, I love the anticipation surrounding the start of a new course. Who will I meet? What will the class dynamic be? What strengths will students discover? What connections will be made? What magic will happen? Because something magical always does. These are all the things that go through my mind as we begin a new round of courses.

Each class is different. Each woman comes from a different background, a different career path, and each has different goals for what they want to accomplish through GoGirl. What’s exciting for me, our founders Suzanne Keel-Eckmann and Jenni Hogan, and members of our faculty — is watching these students grow over the course of 10 weeks. And they do experience growth. Maybe it’s a more clearly defined ‘personal brand’ and a way to present yourself to employers. Maybe it’s a more polished look that’s appropriate for that new promotion they want. It might be a new color of lipstick that lights up their face, or even a memorable elevator speech describing what they do that lands them a new position. Whatever the case may be — it’s different for each student, and I know they value highly what they learn from our experts.

This is what one of our students from our last Career Acceleration class says about GoGirl: 

“GGA is a must have experience for any woman looking to transition or move forward in her career.  The courses span from personal growth and confidence building to professional topics of business writing, leadership, speaking in public, and utilizing social media.  Each topic is taught be a professional woman in that field who provides timely insight and first hand experiences.  The personal attention and encouragement each step along the way is something I’ve never experienced.  And maybe the best part is becoming a part of an astounding network of professional women that believe that we should all be women helping women.  The impact of GGA stays with you long after the initial course.”  Sandie Wilkinson, Healthcare Manager

 In fact, Sandie will be a co-coach for our next course — taking what she’s learned and helping our new students move forward. Please visit www.gogirlacademy.com for more information about signing on for our next courses!
