For about three years I had been sitting on a business idea that I had no clue how to bring to life. I'm a technical recruiter by day, and I always end up having deep heart-to-hearts with my candidates and offering more advice than anything. Whether it's interview prep, resume reviews, or pulling back the curtain between recruiter and candidate, I wanted to give people, specifically women in technology, that "AH-HA!" moment. To shift their perspective on their potential, learn the skills to make changes in their behavior and mindset, and in turn, build and maintain the confidence to ADVANCE. (Hence the name Advance Her) However...I was uncertain of where to start, and that kept me from doing anything about it. I'm a single mom, I have a great day job, but I always saw myself owning my own business. The Roadmap laid out everything and gave me clear cut steps, along with tutorials on how to set everything up. Don't get me wrong, I hesitated. I attended Instagram lives and talked to other people who had taken the course as well and eventually I ran out of excuses not to do it. Since then I've branded a consulting and career therapy platform specifically focused on helping women advance in their career. I'm still in the earlier phases of what all I want to complete but, I've made incredible progress since starting the course. Kelly
