“In October 2011 I joined Platinum Exchange’s program. I was unsure as to what I was going to learn from the program and from the first session all the way through to today I am still learning thanks to the program. This program is unlike other leadership programs that I attended in the past. It was a wonderful experience to be in the company of professional working women (mostly who were mothers as well) and to see that the majority of us were struggling with the same issues. Kerrie broke the course down into several sections which all culminated together and demonstrated how we all have the ability within ourselves to be successful and with a few newly learned tools in our tool kit we could stay there. I would strongly recommend this program to other women, it is a tremendous networking opportunity and not only does it help you think differently about yourself, but it enables you to think about others differently as well, which makes everyone better off in the long run.”

— Paula Delaney, Vice President, VMware

“Platinum Exchange has been instrumental in helping me to achieve my professional goals. Through the program, I gained a deeper understanding and comfort level with my leadership style.

“Never imagined how much my life would change because of the Platinum Exchange program. Over the six months, I met an incredible group of intelligent, talented women who were going through the same challenges with their careers that I faced. We supported each other as we broke through fears, took career enhancing action and gained more confidence throughout and after the program. My career has improved dramatically, from understanding how to work with different people, to understanding how to be the owner of my own success. This is an experience I will never forget!”
