In this five-minute community spotlight, ARISE™ founder Dr. Susanne Foulk introduces the program’s coaching-based, research-informed mentoring model — built over 25 years of organizational leadership and a deep commitment to women’s development. At the 1:00 mark, Jewels, a local small business owner and nonprofit leader, shares what the program has meant to her in her own words:

“You give that safe space to be able to share and create — and sometimes in that conversation, the answer, the next step, is created. That’s a huge gift.”

Jewels describes a mentoring relationship that did not tell her what to do, but instead helped her surface her own strengths, identify areas of need, and receive practical resources and tools to move forward. Her testimony speaks directly to the ARISE™ model: a coaching approach that listens first, reflects back what is already there, and walks alongside — never ahead of — the people it serves. This is what is meant by the transformative power of being truly seen.
