I’d like to thank Belleville CEO for the many opportunities it has given me to grow personally and professionally. Through this program, I’ve become a more confident speaker and a more thoughtful thinker. I’m especially grateful for the people the class has brought into my life. Meeting my mentor, Anne Koleson, has been an incredibly valuable experience—she has taught me so much in such a short time. She has helped push me to become a better person, leader, and expand my knowledge of the business world. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had in Belleville CEO was our partnership with Autospa. Throughout this project, I learned lessons that will stay with me, particularly the importance of clear communication and how it can shape the success of a team. This opportunity helped me understand how to apply strong communication skills within our class and in real-world business situations. - Adam Smith, Chief Executive Officer, Session One
