A PROVEN APPROACH
Marsha Clark’s Power of Self Program has been equipping and advancing women into executive leadership for more than 20 years.
The alumni of Power of Self speak for themselves calling this program life-changing and transformative. These women are consistently being promoted within their organizations. Specifically focused on women on the precipice of executive leadership, Power of Self is uniquely designed to equip women with the self-awareness, tools, business acumen and wisdom for the next level while also surrounding them with a support network for the life of their journey.
