"I was enrolled in Alise’s leadership sessions and they were life changing.

She helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses so you can better harness your skills and experience to be the best leader you can be. Through the sessions I was able to find deeper value and meaning in the work I do by further exploring my purpose and passion. Not only did I gain leadership skills to use in the office but my personal life benefited as well. Whether you are looking to develop your leadership skills, be re-motivated, find the connection between your work and passion, or improve communication skills, you will be able to do so with courses from Alise. The knowledge I gained from this experience will stick with me forever and I believe everyone would find value in sessions with Alise."

"Dr. Alise Cortez strength finding assessment session during Leadership Texas- Dallas, helped me to unlock a force in me that has been dormant. I am naturally an encourager and motivator of others, but I didn’t feel like I had the right cheerleaders in my life. I realized the evening of our session, that no one can encourage me, like my “true” self can. I studied what the assessment said, and Dr. Cortez masterfully guided us to embrace our strengths and to not look at them as weaknesses. Our strengths are what have gotten us this far, but often, we think we need to pivot because we haven’t truly embraced those things as strengths because they come so naturally. I harnessed the momentum from the session, and I did something bold and brave on my job and the results were successful. Thank you, Dr. Cortez, for reigniting my purpose and meaning!"
