Testimonials from the 2023 Mentoring Program:
“I cannot say thank you enough to ASTA for setting up this program. I was hesitant to apply since I was working another full-time job, but I took a leap, and I am beyond grateful that I was partnered with Jenn Lee... She is an incredible mentor and shared so much insight with me, and I feel more confident in my business. Thank you ASTA for realizing that this was something advisors needed. This program truly helped me see I could leave a job that made me unhappy and instead pursue one that I love.” – Alysha Klein, Alysha Klein & Associates Dream Vacations
“I am grateful that I was chosen to be a part of this first program. I can't thank ASTA enough for the opportunity. I always jump at the chance for growth, both as a person and for my business, and this program was exactly what I needed. I love having someone with whom I can feel free to ask anything and to bounce ideas off. And someone to give advice and recommendations but also hold me accountable for things I need to work on. It's been highly beneficial.” – Michelle Shumate, Fairy Godmother Travel
