I asked for help with salary negotiation before my performance review; Val & Becky gave me very useful advice. In my review, which was very positive, I used their advice. My boss granted me the raise! Without learning from Val & Becky, I don’t think I would have had the confidence to bring it up.

ExponentialChangemakers platform and community is inclusive, welcomes and values each member, their ideas, and contributions. It is a space of continuous growth where you have the opportunity to hear (first-hand) others’ experiences, “faux pas” and their journeys towards meeting their purposes and ambitions.

I’ve learned how to better advocate for myself & what’s important to me regarding career/life needs. I understand better what kind of work culture best suits my skills. I’ve been given real tools to consider my future and I’m motivated to put more time into areas where I need more work!

XCM is one of the first times I’ve felt like someone has taken the time to help me think things through and ensure I can formulate and articulate my career plan. The amount and diversity of support available are unrivaled; it’s a great way to ensure you’re taking time to work on yourself.

It’s an awesome network of great women who provide tailored support.

I would recommend ExponentialChangemakers because it is a way to build community, connect, and find clarity surrounding your career path.  I have learned to have confidence in myself and articulate what it is that I want out of my career. I have learned that I do not have to sacrifice my values for a career.

The XCM network is a combination of inspiring women, community, tools, and support that, together, have given me hope and new perspectives on my career. My confidence is stronger. My relationships with my directors strengthened.  And I have the tools to lead my career.
