“The project 'Yes, I Can!' was built within 6 weeks of solid collaborative leadership methodology from the IXL Center. The program was a key resource for my future vision: “Yes, I Can!" is a powerful system to transform the special needs person’s entrepreneurial world. Now that “Yes, I Can!” is built, I believe my mistakes while executing it will lead me to improve it, supported by my self-confidence which is stronger than ever to move forward. I would refer this program to every person that wishes to discover the great leader within yourself!”
