"The CREW Seattle Leadership Series is not just for women early in their careers! I had been a professional in the commercial real estate industry for 20 years when I joined the program. Although I had much experience, the Series helped me in so many ways. It helped me look at my strengths and weaknesses, gave me courage to stretch beyond my comfort zone at work, and helped me find support and answers for difficulties I faced in the office. The experience and personal growth led to me stretching for new opportunities, a promotion, and a higher level of self-confidence – not to mention some great new friends!"
