IMpower Success Stories
Discover how IMpower can help develop your rising stars
John Deere Alumna
The experiences shared by my peers were invaluable. This program and its ‘homework’ kept me visible, involved, and expressed that I was intent on making the most of my company’s investment. Overall, IMpower has helped me become more of an intentional, informed, and confident professional. I am now leaving it with increased awareness of my role in my company as well as a forward-thinking mindset and excitement for the future of my career.
The Chemours Company Alumna
With the discussions, skill building, and opportunity to “practice” my leadership skills and style throughout this program, I have gained the confidence to fully step up to the table, be confident in my abilities and knowledge, and to be a leader, not just the “doer”… I have already been offered new opportunities to continue to add value to my company. I have no doubt that this is from my increased confidence and my expanded organizational network thanks to the WU IMpower program.
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Alumna
I’m in Marketing so I already knew the value of a brand, but this program helped me think more about my own brand and the importance of understanding and being able to articulate the value I bring to an organization. I’d like to share these learnings with my colleagues back at my Company, so they can benefit as well. I also want to emphasize that this program has demonstrated that together if we encourage each other and support each other’s successes we can collectively multiply the impact we can make.
Genentech Alumna
I have become more aware of my strengths and weaknesses, how others in my organization perceive me, and perhaps most importantly, how to influence that perception. I have also increased my visibility by connecting with leaders in my organization and by making a more deliberate effort to build internal and external networks…Going forward, I will continue to work on these areas.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Alumna
The Respected Manager Interviews opened the door to personal connections that would have been difficult to build otherwise. I have become more conscious about how I want others to perceive me, actively working on my personal brand. Moving on, I feel empowered to continue a successful career path in Regulatory Affairs – to make my voice heard and to actively contribute to my company’s success.
Alkermes, Inc. Alumna
I now have a much greater appreciation of how I can stand up and make a positive impact on how my organization operates. My company is going through a lot of growth right now, and with this growth comes the need to change the way we operate in order to be as effective and efficient as possible. I see this as an opportunity not only to speak out about my ideas for improvement, but to also take the lead on making those ideas happen.
Cisco Systems Incorporated Alumna
I now know I don’t need to have all the answers, and it’s okay (encouraged, actually) to make mistakes now and then. In the end, my Company has a more engaged employee, and I have a new perspective on blossoming my career.
