Real work. Real outcomes.
SOT's Gen Z MBA gave me practical leadership tools within the first 2 weeks of class. So far, I've learned the different types of leadership, how to manage group dynamics, and have had some real practice in handling group disagreements as a leader. I stopped guessing on leadership and started making practical decisions with confidence.
Sidney Haga

I have two daughters, a late teenager and one who is in her early twenties. I took this class for them, to learn more about it and make sure it was something they would benefit from. I was highly impressed with the class and would definitely recommend it to anyone with older kids.
Deanna Geer
Parent
Replaced 3 separate programs. Leadership, money, creativity—in one system. And we have artifacts for college apps instead of just grades.
Ava Moore
Parent
I thought leadership was a matter of confidence—something a person either had or they didn't. The program, however, demonstrated that leadership is a skill built 'one decision at a time.' The instructor was super engaging, explained things in a way that made sense, and kept the class interactive.
Fikri Nur Syifa

I did the financial and the leadership that SOT offers. It was amazing. I had a great experience. It wasn't just me tuning in; I had my son, husband, and everybody in there watching because there is a gap that needs to be bridged. My public school didn't teach me any of this.
Maya Rashid

I learned techniques to ground myself and prepare for public speaking, team building techniques, conflict resolution, and problem solving skills. I have thought a lot more about what leadership means to me and how to increase my confidence in leadership roles.

I do Money Fridays now. Track, save, repeat. I hit $200 and my mom matched it. First time I've felt wealth-minded.
Miguel Prietto

I built a Money File that finally sticks. Tracked spend, set rules, paid off $800 on my card. I feel in control for the first time.
