IMPACT FEEDBACK BY PARTICIPANTS:
Last year was an extremely challenging year. Not only was the Pandemic a shock to my work and home life, I lost my amazing mom to Alzheimers. Having the ability to listen to your guidance helped me through it. I was able to create a viable work space at home and set boundaries that gave me structure to balance it all out. I am grateful for the opportunity to listen not only to you, but to revisit the ideas that you shared. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. --Senior Account Executive
This program was huge in helping me get back to the basics of sales, learning to lead and how I impact my customers, co-workers and more in my day to day and my whole life. Putting myself out there again. Invaluable. -- Account Executive
This has helped to open my eyes to the need for diversity, inclusivity, and work-life balance and offered me the insights and techniques to get there. I leave each session with at least one
thought-provoking concept to contemplate and adopt for improved leadership, communication, or self-awareness. -- Manager
Claudia is amazingly authentic. In authenticity, she provided a safe place during this program to participate and/or just listen to her and the speakers who presented. Post these meetings, I follow all of the speakers and Claudia on social media which helps continue to ground me. While I was unfortunately not able to attend all the sessions, the ones I attended added good alternative perspectives and provided me to grow my emotional intelligence. -- VP Technology
I needed a push to get me to think more creatively and outside the box. I think we all get set in our ways and I have been at the same job for 28-plus years. Market myself! Step Forward and really take a leap of faith and remember that I have what it takes! -- Senior Account Executive
I love how Claudia focuses on leadership in the family. I am newly married and it was profound how the program made me think about how I show up at home can be a tool for how I show in the workplace with others. -- Engineer
It was refreshing information, and felt more like a spiritual leadership journey which is often missing at companies. With a very fast- paced working environment, you often lose track of your time and miss out on key growing moments and opportunities to connect on a human level which I loved. -- Vice President
This program provided a very refreshing view and tools to unlock my individual potential -- Engineer
The program provided not just insightful information but a different perspective of our career and ourselves as a whole. Also, putting things into perspective helped to better determine the goals we are pursuing in the long term. I appreciate this opportunity, and I hope that we can continue our journey with Claudia, she is admirable and a remarkable woman. Thank you! -- Executive Director
Phenomenal program! I would suggest having leadership, especially male leadership in very high level positions within the company do a twenty minute summarized training on this. I think it is vital that our leadership or any corporate leadership in the highest levels embraces this whole life leadership method. Only when people lead from the top down to embrace the whole life leadership model that allows women to thrive in the workplace, then I will feel confident that I have people in my company supporting me trying to follow this at work without having to keep the idea to myself and hide it from others who want me to spend all my time on work. -- Senior Manager
OTHER CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Daisy Auger Dominguez, Chief People Officer at Vice Media | Human Capital Strategist "After two decades building diverse, equitable and inclusive cultures for companies like Moody’s Investors Service, The Walt Disney Company, and Google — what I find most effective and powerful about SHE GLOBL is Claudia Chan’s “whole-life leadership” curriculum as a methodology for creating more impactful and inclusive cultures where whole-lives can thrive in the workplace. Both her How We Rise training & S.H.E. Summit conferences help talent reset their careers as powerful vehicles for impact, and increase their passion and engagement with organizational initiatives in a format that is inspiring, practical and holistic. I speak at and attend
conferences and learning programs regularly and I have found her content and network to be some of the most compelling."
Carly Elson, Tech Industry Marketing Lead, Google
"Claudia Chan's coaching was an informative and inspiring program of leadership and life advice. Highly valuable sessions for those looking to embrace a more expansive, inclusive view of leadership that starts from within.”
Tami DeWeese, Head of Inclusion & Diversity, Samsung Electronics America Reading Claudia's book This Is How We Rise gave me confidence to lead our new women’s employee resource group (ERG) at Samsung. Launching a new ERG is hard, scary, and intimidating, especially when it’s on a volunteer basis. The book helped give me perspective that my life struggles and career challenges were for a greater purpose to help lead others towards achieving workplace equality. I then started attending the incredible S.H.E. Summit Conferences. The conference and How We Rise learnings have led me to so many new experiences which helped pave my path from Director of Solutions & Services to becoming Samsung’s Inclusion & Diversity Leader. Everyone can make a difference, just take the first step forward with confidence.”
Monique E. Lanaux, Sr. Director, Global Diversity & Engagement, Pepsico “S.H.E. Summit… WOW! Claudia and the team curated such an intimate experience for everyone in attendance. The agenda, speakers and takeaways filled a cup I wasn’t aware of and was so depleted. Every aspect of the S.H.E. Summit experience was so beautifully woven, with so many value-added micro-learnings. I truly left S.H.E. Summit prepared AND connected to thought leaders beyond the agenda; and felt so empowered to take actionable steps toward Whole Life Leadership.”
Christine Ramsay, Senior Manager Diversity Inclusion & Engagement, Jazz Pharmaceuticals
“The S.H.E. Summit was incredibly inspiring as it provoked inclusive conversations of all various dimensions of diversity. The power of storytelling from Claudia and the guest speakers as well as the connections that were made at the event were beyond valuable and made a positive impact for me personally as a leader in the Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging space.”
Dondeena Bradley, Global Vice President, Nutrition and Wellbeing at Barilla Group “As Claudia continues to grow in wisdom, she finds ways to bring out stories from leaders that reach participants in compelling ways. I personally have been inspired by her resilience and was professionally impacted by bringing a new team together to participate and learn. We took what we heard and shared our own perspective. In doing so, we became a better-connected team.”
Kathleen Griffith, Founder of Build Like A Woman
Claudia Chan is a total life transformation tornado. She takes high-order observations and applies them in a practical way, delivering a rare combination of ruthless honesty and compassion. At a time when humanity has been traded for tech, she has infused spirit and soul back into work. I would not be becoming the woman I am without her coaching.
Deepa Purushothaman, (Former) National Managing Principal, Inclusion, Deloitte When Deloitte was developing its Reimagine Inclusion strategy, Claudia’s coaching was very impactful because she gave us an external perspective we didn’t have on the gender equality and diversity landscape–what she calls the macro-movement. Educating us on corporate trends and how we can think like social movement makers, really pushed our thinking. If you want innovative, fresh and what she calls "intra-preneneurial" thinking--I highly recommend working with her How We Rise method.
