I want to thank Belleville CEO for the opportunity to develop my leadership skills, build meaningful connections with peers and mentors, and gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship. This program has provided me with valuable insights into the business world, helping me grow both personally and professionally. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to work on real-world projects, which have helped me apply classroom knowledge to practical situations. The program's emphasis on teamwork and problem-solving has also allowed me to develop critical skills that will benefit me in my future career. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had in the Belleville CEO program was the workshop with Mike Riley Jr. His session on strategic thinking and innovation was incredibly insightful, offering a fresh perspective on how to approach and solve complex business challenges. Mike's real-life examples and interactive exercises not only deepened our understanding of the subject but also inspired us to think creatively and ambitiously about our own entrepreneurial ventures .His insights into the importance of adaptability and forward-thinking in business resonated deeply with me. The tools and strategies he shared have already influenced how I approach challenges, encouraging me to think beyond conventional solutions and embrace innovation in my entrepreneurial journey. - BJ Jackson, Session Two
