We were so fortunate to have Robin Gelfius back as a guest speaker in CEO today. As a long-time mentor and friend of the program, Robin is passionate about the importance of professionalism, and her talk was a powerful reminder that it's a way of life.

Here are some key takeaways from her message:

🔑 Integrity is everything. Be a person of your word, do what's right even when no one is watching, and hold yourself accountable for your thoughts, words, and actions.

🔑 Someone is always watching. Your reputation is built on how you carry yourself and the high standards you set for yourself. A good reputation will open doors.

🔑 Your words matter. Think before you speak, avoid gossip, and take the high road.

🔑 Be kind. Kindness, compassion, and forgiveness are essential in both your business and personal life.

🔑 Outstanding customer service is non-negotiable. Word of mouth can make or break you, so remember people's names and make every interaction count.

Thank you, Robin, for sharing your wisdom and passion with us! Your insights will help guide our students not only in this program but throughout their lives.

During this first week our young entrepreneurs have been immersed in so much insight and advice. We are looking forward to week two!
