Testimonial from mentors and facilitators of the academy:
Annette Metz
Ph.D., Conben Consulting Shanghai, WAFW Mentor:
“That is what companies are looking for nowadays – they are looking for people who are driven by themselves. This eagerness to develop for something bigger.”
Rhonda Gutenberg
Academy Facilitator：
”Being at Sias, the students are so motivated, so engaged. Many of them are the first ones to have any education of any significance in their family or their town or their village.
The five weeks I had spent at the Academy were probably the most valuable five weeks I’ve spent in my life.”
Catherine Jennings
Academy Facilitator:
“It is a crazy experience, but it is…it is life changing and it is something that you will probably never have the opportunity to do anywhere else.”
Shannon Wallace
Academy Facilitator:
“Being a facilitator for the WAFW changed my perspective on life, purpose, service and the human equation….that we are not different in kind, but merely in small degree. By going beyond my personal and geographic boundaries, I have a better understanding of the true meanings of service, unity, empowerment, generosity and pure joy. As I teach, I have been taught. I have been schooled first-hand, that the world and its inhabitants, at all levels, are true power and beauty. Become a facilitator – for your own growth and development, and for the growth and development of those who follow in your footsteps.”
