What our members say…
“I’ve been a member of many professional and women’s organizations over the years, but this has been far and away the most remarkable experience I’ve ever had with a membership. Every introduction has been high quality and people are genuinely invested in whether or not I reach my goals.”
“Cory’s and Dana’s candid insights and experiences were SO welcome & useful in a practical (& entertaining!) way. I got a lot of value out of participating in this. Thank you!”
“I really like Nan’s approach. She is a creative thinker, has a great sense of humor and provides clear direction for me in the work that I need to do. She provides a framework for how to tell myself my own stories, which I find very difficult and Nan has found a way for me to engage myself without becoming overwhelmed.”
“When I joined Athena 5 years ago, I was a new leader finding my footing. Since then, I’ve grown from leading a $50M business to a $1.2B business — and added three meaningful boards and a teaching position to my Portfolio of Impact. That growth is a direct result of the mentors, sponsors, and powerhouse executives I’ve connected with through this community Coco built.”
“If you’ve ever wanted to be part of a space that’s equal parts ambition, laughter, and genuine support: that’s Athena. At every event, I meet brilliant, down-to-earth women eager to help each other, swap playbooks, and laugh through the chaos of ambition and life.”
“It was so helpful to have a partner in the BCP process. It’s been years since I’ve updated my resume so it’s so valuable to have someone walk me through what’s current/relevant in the market and also appropriate for how to present the experience that I’ve gained in that time through my resume, bio, and LinkedIn. “
“Rochelle helped me own who I am again after a tough period in my current role that had me doubting myself.”
“In addition to the resume, bio and LI updates Rochelle and I made, I appreciated the coaching and feedback I also received as part of the BCP process. “
“Athena is a tremendous resource and network for board directors, giving busy executives support through their board career—from building a board bio and positioning to providing industry and governance knowledge. Athena is my trusted resources for board insights and world-class networking.”
“Athena was instrumental in preparing me for board of director roles. Athena provided me with the tools to position my value as a board member and a network I can trust and continue to learn from.”
“As an aspiring board director, Athena walked me through the whole process. They helped me distill why I’m interested in board service and what I bring to the table in the boardroom, as as the more tangible pieces like reshaping my CV to be more appealing for a public or private company board.”
