Shine helped our leaders within our organization and helped our team grow together. ~ Holly Tipton, Regional Director
When Tracy Haddix came to do a leadership series for us, I was very new in my leadership role, and I honestly was not open to the series. After one day with her, I saw what Shine put into her. She put that into me, and I’ve grown as a leader. I’ve grown to embrace change a lot more. I feel like Shine did that for me. ~ Veronica Peacock, Operations Manager
