YANG 2026 5 for 5 Presenter Testimonials
"My biggest takeaway from 5 for 5: if you believe in your message, go find the room. Being the first to share this year was intimidating but having the opportunity to speak about something I’m passionate about with our industry was incredibly rewarding. Our hesitation is often the only thing standing between us and our impact." - Kylie Bolticoff, Bolticoff Advisory Group
“An outstanding opportunity to connect with peers and industry leaders while sharing ideas, experiences, and contributions to the industry. Moments like this create space for meaningful connections and continued professional growth. Highly recommend applying next year to anyone looking to challenge themselves, develop their skills, and accelerate their growth. Thank you!” - Ben Giglio, Aumovio
"The YANG 5 for 5 opportunity at Auto Care Connect exceeded my expectations and was truly a career highlight. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of an industry that invests in developing young professionals and creates opportunities like this to learn, grow, and build meaningful relationships. Experiences like YANG 5 for 5 leave me energized about the future of the aftermarket and the role the next generation can play in shaping it." - Abby Lim, Rotomaster
"For me, the 5 for 5 session reinforced that real growth happens outside your comfort zone, and it was incredibly rewarding to share ideas with such a driven group of emerging leaders." - Caitlin McGill, WD-40
“Being a YANG 5 for 5 speaker was such a great experience! It helped increase my confidence and my public speaking skills. I’m so glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone to do this!” - Maureen St. Pierre, Dayco Incorporated
