Storytelling
Dasia Miles-Langaine, Owner of Sincerely Sanguine: Advised on development and launch of business concept (2019); Support the growth through ongoing opportunity sharing and funding application support (2019 to present) and 10 weeks of free customized consulting services (2022). As a result of participating in the Consulting Practicum of our flagship program, Dasia became empowered to leverage her newfound business analysis and development skills to invest and launch two successful businesses.
DIFF has changed my outlook on life, specifically money. Money is everywhere, but it's your job to attract it, even if that means creating an avenue for it to find you.
Emanuel Agbavitor: Advised on the development of business concept (2021); Ongoing one-on-one business launch support including review of incorporation documentation, etc.; and facilitated business-related internship opportunity to further develop network and relevant skill set.
The Consultrepreneurship has shaped my overall decision-making and educational and professional aspirations by shifting my perception of what I found valuable to me and my growth. Before, I thought I needed to have a business degree to be successful and was chasing a dual degree program which would have left me overworked and overwhelmed. After going through the program, I realized that I can be successful by any means and in things I found interesting.
