"I left A New Path with an action plan, a global network, and a much better sense of the importance of life balance. The Career Leader feedback helped me break through self-sabotaging barriers, and the business refresher classes examined opportunities provided by the social media revolution. I am delighted not to have missed this life-changing opportunity."

"The program boosted my confidence in my ability to move forward in creating my own business. While I have not been formally trained in business, this program exposed me to the business fundamentals I need—finance, financial forecasting, marketing, and entrepreneurship. My coach and Board of Advisers helped me to understand the value of my ideas to the marketplace—and we continue to stay connected through regular email and telephone contact."
