“I enjoyed all the Elevate workshops, it was an engaging journey with a multidimensional approach on the organisers end. All the guest speakers were very interesting. I learned some new information that will help me in archiving my goals. All the workshops were very motivational and positive. I loved the idea of a nearly 3 month commitment, it’s similar to establishing a positive routine!”
