Gwendolyn J

"The course sparked many thoughts regarding my career ambitions. I excel at the 'accounting' focus tasks. I appreciated the suggestions on 360 hours of CE and focusing on other skills. What really pulled this presentation together for me was the last 5 minutes. I have ambitions to reach the role of CFO and be successful. But, there's nothing more important to me than finding the pace at which I reach that goal and still finding time for OUTSIDE work. Thank you for that plug."

"Thank you for the recommended reading material."
