what COLLAB alumni are saying
COLLAB was a formative experience for me and something that I’m forever grateful to Malika for sharing with me. Malika’s personal discussions and feedback round the course out and allowed me to be much more mindful and honest about my strengths and weaknesses. Her involvement in my career has indisputably put me on a different course.
Will Finkel, VP at Warner Media
I was fortunate enough to participate in COLLAB Leadership Development. Although I was somewhat skeptical at first, Malika gently pushed me to put in the effort. By the wrap-up session I finally understood the significant value of this program, and am amazed by the remarkable impact it has made on my outlook and my career. Malika can propel team performance, while advancing each participant's confidence and drive to succeed.
Maurice Ferkranus, VP at Deluxe Entertainment

“COLLAB has been helpful. I felt it an honor to be nominated and valued for my contribution as a leader.”
“COLLAB shows our commitment to people and provides a tangible opportunity to get skills they can’t get anywhere else.”
