Quotes from future leaders

The feedback and coaching that was given, helped me to identify how I could improve my presentations, and I learned more about the importance of movement to engage the audience during a presentation. I would definitely recommend this conference to others.

Abigail Amu, 2017 attendee

This gave me the opportunity to meet and align with people from similar industries who deal with many of the same obstacles with my current job. I learned how to effectively manage people with different learning styles and personalities, via many team-oriented activities.

Nicholas Harrison, 2018 attendee

The ELA conference has introduced me to the leadership concepts. I had changed my majoring subject and I’m about to graduate now with a B.S. in Leadership. In this conference, I learned the importance of self-awareness in any role, especially in a leadership role.

Michael Mimikos, 2016 attendee

As a young engineer developing leadership skills, the ELA Conference was a great learning opportunity for me. We were in a small group, able to listen and comment on each other’s presentations and get to know how other people perceive our presentation.

Symren Sanghera, 2018 attendee

I enjoyed the ELA Conference because of the diversity of the organizations represented, which led to very different perspectives on topics. I learned the valuable management skills in emotional intelligence and management in the technical world. I would definitely recommend this conference to others.

Austin Morgan, 2016 attendee

What I enjoyed the most was the Social Styles session. It revealed my personality, strengths and weaknesses. My relationships with my superiors and subordinates have also been improved because of this.
I would definitely recommend this conference to others.
