10 Things I Wish I Knew as a College Senior

10 Things I Wish I Knew as a College Senior

I have two college-age daughters, one a sophomore and one six months from graduation. So when I participated in a recent panel discussion bringing together some of Charlotte’s top women in business, the topic hit home: How can we help young women and aspiring leaders grow their careers while thriving outside of the office?

I had a great time sharing my own career path and lessons learned on the journey — from art director to agency owner and fierce protector of a creative culture loaded with young talent.

It hasn’t ever been easy, but sometimes the most difficult obstacles help shape the experiences that make us stronger. I didn’t understand that at 22, and I still don’t have all the answers. But I hope my experiences will help you maximize your future, whether you’re a student, young professional or industry veteran. Read More

Great article Jennifer--hard to believe that our girls were in preschool together and are now heading out into the world.? I love the marriage one--not everyone gives that advice, and to me, it might be the biggest decision of your life and there isn't a time limit on it!??

Great advice.? I love the point of following your passion and travel.? I think this age group of students will naturally not go with the traditions of the past.? It seems they are ready to have impact and are very globally minded.? I loved hearing my 26 year old daughter say recently she would always bet on herself.? ?I would not have had that mindset at her age!??
