Testimonials

While I learned so much personally that I could apply to my own professional situation from Amplify, I also learned how to amplify other voices. To me, amplification is advocacy and advocacy is an expression of inclusivity and kindness.

Confidence

I feel more confident about my abilities and the work that I’ve done to get me where I am. I’ve also taken the initiative to ask for feedback, and much of what I’ve received has both reinforced the value that I thought I was providing, as well as provided the opportunity to see myself as others see me, and it’s been eye-opening and so incredibly powerful. It’s given me so much more confidence in the way I am as a manager and how I’m viewed as a leader.

Collective power

Amplify is a life changing program that uses the collective power of sisterhood, diverse views, and education to equip women with the tools, skills, and training necessary to advance our profession.

Visibility

I was talking with an ally who has become a friend, and he said that he thought in the past few months, I had really become much more visible across the department, was really being a leader in a lot of ways, and was offering a lot of good ideas and support to many people. I told him, and I mean it with all my heart, that if that’s true, it’s because of Amplify.

Community

Amplify has been like my secret happy place and a chance to hop the fence and do cross-departmental work, and it represents the first community I’ve had since I started at the college. I now call my cohort my friends, and I feel empowered to speak truth to power.
