Participant Testimonials

Meryl Moss
Physicians Medical Group
"My project wasn’t only about outcomes or achievements. It was about my learning. It was about the way I work with others to affect change. Leadership for Change is about being reflective not reactive; about facilitating rather than directing; listening rather than talking. It is about continuously and relentlessly testing assumptions, asking people what is on their minds, and being open about their feedback."

John Downes, Jr.

Architecture/Design/Engineering Organization
"I was able to uncover a new means for implementing change in Leadership for Change. I have changed as a result of this experience and I will always have the tools I uncovered this year!"

Janice Lu

Construction Industry
"I miss the moment of pushing myself to think beyond..."

Nick Pasquenza

Construction Industry
"The Leadership for Change focus on self reflection helped me obtain a better understanding about myself and what I like, dislike, and/or need to change. The structure of Leadership for Change promotes an understanding of the world around us and how we fit. I think the whole program boils down to how a person fits into the world and about doing well while doing good."

Jodi McDonough

Health Care Industry
"It never ceases to amaze me how attending events with Leadership for Change alumni, faculty and/or enthusiasts rekindles the fire within."

Deborah Gorhan

Health Care Manufacturing Organization
"Leadership for Change program validated my commitment to meaningful work. It reminded me that one person can make an impact on any level. As a result, I can act as a change agent for individuals, as well as groups, organizations, and society."

Joe Parisi

Retail
As a Vice President of a small lumber company, Joe diagnosed why part-time workers lacked commitment; implemented new training procedures; and developed the company's relationship with its temporary work force. This intervention not only improved the job quality and retention of the part-time workers, but also demonstrated his organization's commitment to all employees.

Jolie Bath

Financial Services Organization
"Leadership for Change is all about bringing out the best in yourself and others - the common good is not just about starting a recycling program. It's about teaching yourself and others to think about the long-term impact of each action."

Tom MacDonald

MBA, Boston College
"In Leadership for Change finding your own voice found me, and opened me to new possibilities. The faculty's passion and commitment is contagious - they genuinely care."
