CEO Weekly Recap!
This week, Annie led our chapter, “Take It All In,” and facilitated a team-building activity focused on the importance of strong communication. Our entrepreneurs had a great time working together while building skills they can carry into future careers and businesses.
We also participated in our first Freshen Up Friday, taking time to clean, organize, and maintain our workspace. Learning to take pride in the spaces where we work is an important part of building a strong professional culture.
We were grateful to welcome guest speakers Maddy Jones and Jaclyn Shan, who shared their experiences and insights with our class. A special thank-you as well to Leon Stallard and the Edward Jones team for hosting a fantastic business tour!
We appreciate everyone who continues to invest their time, knowledge, and encouragement in our CEO entrepreneurs.

What a great first full week of CEO!
Our office days were spent diving into Phase Two of the Micro Business and focusing on the key concepts that make CEO so impactful. We welcomed our first guest speaker, Lauren McClain, and took our first business visit to AM Transport.
We ended the week by celebrating one of our very own OTN football players and wrapped things up with our first team builder, “Puzzled.” The real challenge wasn’t the puzzle, it was learning how to embrace change, adapt, and adjust when things don’t go as planned.
So much learning, growing, connecting, and celebrating in just one week! We can’t wait to see what’s ahead!
