We were thrilled to have Dr. George Taylor III share his story with our young professionals yesterday. Dr. Taylor is the President of the CEO Board, Dean of Business and Industry at South Central College, published author, consultant, and public speaker.
Dr. Taylor's journey took him from retired naval officer to entrepreneur, real estate investor, and educator, and he shared the life lessons he learned along the way.
A few highlights that stood out to our group:
🔸 Be willing to have courageous conversations.
🔸 Communication is key. Work on your communication skills every single day!
🔸 Be willing to pivot.
🔸 Model the behavior you want to see.
🔸 Be willing to appreciate and act on feedback.
🔸 Take time to get to know your team.
So grateful for leaders like Dr. Taylor who invest in the next generation. Thank you for inspiring our CEO students! 🙌
