“Professional is not a label you give yourself—it’s a description you hope others will apply to you.”

Mary Baker joined us for one of the most important sessions of the year: professional communication.

From emails and face-to-face conversations to grammar and the use of AI, Mary challenged students to think about how they represent themselves. First impressions matter, and every interaction helps build a reputation and establish credibility.

“Good grammar should be everyone’s business.” And when it comes to appearance? Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

Thank you, Mary, for giving our students practical lessons they’ll use throughout CEO and long after!
