"The 1BY1 Leadership has played a factor in shaping me into the young professional that I am today. The program has allowed me to flourish in public speaking opportunities, relationship building, and post educational opportunities. At a young age I joined 1BY1 through a computer software training program that allowed for my marketing creativity to arise in storytelling. From grade 6 I have since then learned much when it comes to networking and strengthening my inner personal skills. I have been able to network successfully and give it my all when presented with real life scenarios. Today I am a young professional in the HR industry. Without public speaking trainings conducted by the 1BY1 I may have not been able to have been introduced to ways of communicating ideas thoroughly and effectively. 1BY1 allowed those skills in becoming finer tune. I am more confident than ever in presenting ideas in front of others very well."
