“I just love this NextUp community—these fantastic leaders who are willing to share their advice, members who are brave enough to share their thoughts, and clear takeaways that can be put into action on day one.”
“It has been so inspiring for me to see how NextUp has affected the careers and lives of so many others. As ambassador for Acosta, I am given the opportunity to help spread the values and benefits of NextUp to so many other people within my organization. That fuels my motivation to keep doing what I am doing.”
“This organization is about friendships, relationships—I've learned topics and met people that have literally changed my life. I am so glad to have that circle of influence—to have someone that can get you through those tough spots. And that has been what this network has done for me personally.”
“What I love about NextUp is just the pure authenticity of the network. It’s not just a traditional, professional LinkedIn connection. It’s actually a real authentic relationship that happens to be professional but also happens to be extremely social in that you are aligned to the same nonprofit mission.”
“NextUp has helped provide the proper environment for my female employees to have a place they can collaborate with other [women] leaders, network, share ideas and best practices, and continue to educate from...I feel creating this type of environment is one of my top responsibilities.”
