Hey readers! I hope everyone has been able to stay focused but still enjoy this spring-like weather in February.

Last semester, I introduced in a blog that I am Director of Marketing and Social Media. Marketing has been an interest of mine ever since I began my college career. I have been gaining experience in this field through internships. For the past year I’ve had an internship at Taylor-Leonard Corporation and work closely with Kelly Leonard, Co-Founder and CEO of Taylor-Leonard Corporation. Why do I tell you all of this? Kelly will actually be speaking at the Skilled for Success: Building an Entrepreneurial Mindset panel on March 7^th from 6:00-8:00 pm here at The Universities at Shady Grove!

I saw my connection with Kelly as a great opportunity to share with all of you and asked her a couple of questions in regards to the event.

Q: Why do you feel this event is beneficial to college students?

A: Open forum Q&A + Opportunity to build relationships with a group of entrepreneurs who have subject matter expertise and a willingness to help you pursue entrepreneurial endeavors.

Q: What is one piece of advice you’d give yourself when you were in your 20s?

A: Associations are everything.  Master relationship building.  Seek out people doing what you aspire to do and ask them if they’d be willing to allow you to shadow them.  Then, be a sponge.

Since I personally know Kelly and based off of her answers to these questions, I have no doubt in my mind that the panel will be extremely beneficial from her and all the other speakers. Also, it’s a chance to network among your peers and possible professionals that will be attending the event! I’ll definitely be there March 7^th. Will you?

Hope to see you there! As always, ‘til next time! 🙂
