One of the founding participants shared this reflection:

“Rooted & Rising provided me with practical, transformative tools to intentionally maximize my strengths as a senior college administrator. The program deepened my understanding of how to tune my strengths for greater effectiveness while reflecting on how my lived experiences show up and shape my leadership. Dr. Daniel Almeida’s authentic, insightful coaching strengthened my confidence and sharpened my skills as a strengths-based supervisor. I highly recommend Rooted & Rising to leaders committed to purposeful growth.”
