​What others are saying

"There is so much to be said about the WE 360° guided business planning course and how it has helped me in my business.  First, I would like to say that the course is what every business owner needs, whether currently in business or desiring to be in business. The knowledge and tools are simple but effective. The sessions are taught in a clear and concise manner for easy understanding. The course not only guides you but sets you up for success.

"Another great experience taken from the class was having the opportunity to learn from the other participants. WE 360° provides a safe zone for participants to share successes and failures. More importantly, the course built the confidence I was lacking. Often times we question our abilities and the trajectory we are on. Taking the course catapulted my thinking and gave me a sense of relief in knowing that I can do anything and there is nothing to fear.

"Being in business the last few years has been a rewarding experience. But WE 360° gave me the boost I needed to take my business to the next level. As a result, I am humbled to share that I opened my first physical location on January 4, 2021. Thank you, YWCA.GC, for your vision and believing in my vision."

"The WE 360° course literally took us step by step through composing a business plan. I reflected on things that I never thought of before. I felt like there was an awakening happening inside of me. So many ideas were flowing from me until I had to meet one on one with our coach, Keisha Smith. She assured me that she understood what I was feeling and thinking."

"I had the pleasure of attending the eight-week class with Keisha Smith. The class was amazing. I've been in business for some time, only to take this class and finally get a proper foundation. I greatly appreciate what Keisha did for me, and for all of us. Sometimes you need more than encouragement; sometimes you need truth and direction, and that is what I left with. Thank you for presenting such a great opportunity."
