Hear From One of Our Students
Renée Frazier, MBA
Founder of A La Renee, Inc., New York
“Multi-layered strategy and commitment are the words that best describe Dr. Soaries’ online program: How To Become A (Paid) Corporate Director. This self-directed cohort gives a hands-on approach to those who dare to take the journey. Dr. Soaries’ commitment to our preparation and polish persisted through the mixture of both meetings, and modules. Built into the program were sobering considerations and expectations regarding fiduciary responsibility. All information came from a personal, professional, and governance vantage point.
Fortune 1000 Board Directors met with us regularly as guest speakers. It was all at once inspiring, helpful, and yet, less daunting. Even the intra-cohort contacts proved to be richly beneficial. A deep understanding of brand reputation – both personally and corporately – are highly stressed. There were many light bulb moments and thankfully so, for, in the end, I feel well-equipped for both my professional journey and ultimately, my seat at the table.
You will grow; in your understanding, your sphere of influence, and exponentially. You will do so with a good-natured, well-versed, poised, and generous spirit at the helm.”
