“I could not recommend this program enough. Korn Ferry LUfH truly provided a completely different perspective on career agility, figuring out what I want out of my life (and career), and then having effective tools to achieve those ends.” ~ Frances Mei Hardin, MD

“Engaging in the Leadership for Humanity program came at the perfect time during my professional journey as I stepped into my new role… The program equipped me with invaluable skills in strategic decision-making, effective communication, and team collaboration, enhancing my ability to navigate the complexities of advocating for women in academia. As a result, I am better positioned to champion diversity and inclusion, fostering a more equitable environment for women in medicine.”
