Hi Sirisha, thank you for your inspiring session today at SWE22! You managed to address the weak spots during less than 45 minutes and to get across some very valuable food for thoughts.

Hello Sirisha, it was fantastic to learn about your Podcast. Since then I have listened to a few episodes and can’t help but think why I did not look for this sooner . It’s so amazing practical solutions and tips that are provided and one can put them in practice right away. I am already working on my elevator pitch ! 😊 Thank you again. I know it’s not easy to put it together but keep up the great work and help many.

I met Sirisha at the 2022 SWE Conference where she gave several talks including one on developing mentor/mentee relationships. Her talk inspired me to begin developing a mentorship program through my college SWE section – something
that she has provided much guidance and expertise with. Her advice greatly helped narrow down the exact goals and design we wanted for our program, as well as what we needed to prioritize in our mentor/mentee meetings. Sirisha is a fantastic
communicator, and I appreciate her willingness to offer support to anyone looking to learn!

Thank you Dr. Sirisha Kuchimanchi PMP. After attending your webinar, I’m focusing on stretching my role. I’m taking on a leadership role for a non-profit and I’m using the SWOT template to work on my weaknesses and looking for ways to mitigate the threats.

Andrea Amaro

VP, Business Operations Infor

Great actionable advice today in your Mentorship presentation today at SWE. The idea of a career SWOT and personal board of directors were excellent. Many thanks for sharing your experiences and advice.
