“The Executive Mentor Program was a game changer for me, and I strongly recommend it. My mentor and I initially focused on my professional development. With God's leading, our focus expanded to include my spiritual and leadership development. It became a holistic experience, which is why it worked. It was a phenomenal experience for me. The key is to approach it with an open heart and prayer. Be open to what God is doing in your life and the direction God is taking you. Pray to be matched with somebody who can help prepare you for where God is taking you, not someone who will help you stay where you are. Trust the process, and trust God”
