TESTIMONIALS


“Training with Finley & Associates provided timely and foundational guidance in planning an IT project that impacted many different business groups. While I greatly appreciated the frameworks and theory they shared during the training, immeasurably more valuable was their wisdom, intuition and experience in creating organizational change.

– Jacqueline Cornish, Application Developer at Hopewell


“Rebecca is an extremely professional speaker and a wonderful woman to work with – having worked with her on our first ever Femina Cena event last year “Women on Boards”, Rebecca was incredibly engaging and extremely passionate about the topic which was something we were looking for in a speaker for this event. She resonated with the audience in a way only a natural presenter could – conveying complex terms in an easy to understand way and encouraging our audience to look at where they can fit board volunteering or experience into their career ambition and long-term plan. I would absolutely encourage anyone interested in learning more about board governance and/or focusing on initiatives tailored towards female empowerment, Rebecca would be an excellent person to work with!

– Farialle Pacha, VP Business Development at Next Edge Capital
