TESTIMONIAL: TARA COSTANZO
“During the in-person component, I had a profound personal leadership learning experience. I realized that I needed to make a tough life decision. This group provided a safe, judgement-free environment. My cohort and the core leadership team offered me a space to share.”
TESTIMONIAL: kent honl
“You’ll meet really interesting people, form new friendships, and see what’s possible outside of what you had imagined for yourself and for your organization, before participating. It’s just a lot of fun. it gives you a nice, uplifting feeling that you’re not stuck in your own isolated space in your own organization in one part of the country, but that you have a network all over the country of others who you can talk to and get inspiration and ideas from.”
testimonial: lisa ortega
“I learned how to work with others and how to take space and how to make space, and that listening is really one of the most important tools we have. Speaking can come after we truly understand our partners and what they need from us. It was such a great experience to be at GCLI because since then, it’s changed my career and propelled it into a completely different direction.”
TESTIMONIAL: elise schadler
“Something I loved about GCLI are the people! This is really at the foundation of what the Institute is trying to do, is to build this amazing, powerful network of people who are interested in problem-solving, being creative, collaborating together. So between the cohort, members, the leadership team, and the speakers, I really felt like I benefitted from meeting these people and having them in my orbit, and being inspired by the great work they’re doing across the country.

“It was a transformational experience for me and contributed directly to my new career in academic service. Now, I’m involved with the Institute’s core leadership team where we hope to build upon our past successes.”
