“BIA’s Emerging Leaders is a robust program that taught me how to better advocate for myself in the workplace, and how to empower others around me to do the same. The instructors from Sojourn Partners were exponential coaches in this program, and their insight has been extremely helpful in growing my career and leadership abilities. Never before have I connected to a program as much as Emerging Leaders due to its humble, humanistic approach that brought everyone in the room together in collaboration.”

"The BIA Emerging Leaders program exposed me to several leadership development concepts that enabled me to hone in on my individual skill sets and further uncover my natural leadership style. After attending each session, I found myself slowly applying the teachings back in my workplace that not only encouraged me to own my role as a professional, but also embrace my individuality as a person."

"The BIA Emerging Leader Training Program has inspired me to approach professional situations from a multitude of perspectives, and always be willing to accept change. The challenging concepts provided by Sojourn Partners, along with classroom interaction among various industry professionals throughout NH, created a close-knit team environment where future leaders could share ideas, hone their skills and engage in meaningful discussions. I truly enjoyed all aspects of this course, the enthusiasm of the instructors, and the friendships I have made. I would highly recommend this program to future leadership candidates!"

"In 2020 I was put in charge of my own department and crew. As a new manager this came with several uncertainties for both my crew and company even with the support of senior management. The 2021 Emerging Leader’s program helped me figure out what type of manager I wanted to be. They helped guide me to be a more effective leader and provided guidance I could use daily at my career. This training not only helped me but gave me the insight to help friends and family outside of my work with some of their working difficulties. I recommend this course to anyone that wants to improve, discover or sharpen their own leadership styles."
