Words cannot express my gratitude to you and NextCISO for the opportunity. Because of that experience, I was the project lead in my company’s ISO 27001 Surveillance Audit. My management was very impressed with the way I handled the audit. So grateful to you and Jenai! Thank you so very much!

I feel more confident in leadership and calling myself an expert and owning that. My leadership chops are something I need to lean into more, and the program showed me that I possess these qualities and am meant to use them.

I feel really excited and grateful for the program. I wouldn’t have been able to get my new position in GRC without having gone through it. Learning about personal branding and negotiation helped me to get a salary I didn’t think I could get. Thank you both for everything.

For seven months, they ran a program that would make a drill sergeant proud. At times, it felt like a firehose of information to learn. It’s a lot, but I learned so much more than I thought I would.

Going through this program helped me pivot into GRC. I was able to use the skills I’d gained in previous roles and build on them. I feel confident in my new role and am excited for the future.

Growing up, I went to schools that were predominantly white. This is the first time I’ve been a part of a program where my classmates and teachers came from diverse backgrounds. This meant that I got to learn and grow in an environment that was open and accepting. This program felt like it was geared towards everyone. This program nurtures you, it finds your strengths and builds on them.
