Class 12 – The rewards “My main takeaway has been realizing the importance of surrounding yourself with a community of people with similar motivations. I have always had a excellent support system in terms of family and friends, but the forum of strong women in this class is unlike anything I have experienced before. Because everyone is working on entrepreneurial endeavors, the encouragement, empathy and suggestions mean much more than if they were coming from one of my typical supporters. I am constantly in awe of how bright and motivated all the women in WEL are, and look forward to hearing about everyone’s continued success with their feasibility plans!”
