Before the holiday break, our Seneca CEO students had the opportunity to tour Financial Design Agency of Ohio, one of our incredible program investors. While we learned all about the world of finance and insurance, we walked away with even more powerful lessons that will guide us well beyond the classroom and into our future careers:

✨ Gain experience early and often — Get involved outside the classroom, shadow professionals, pursue internships, and always ask questions. People love sharing their stories and advice.
✨ Money can’t be the primary motivator — Start something you truly care about and are passionate about. That passion is what fuels long-term success.
✨ Integrity and relationships matter most — Stay true to your values and build trust. Skills can be learned, but trust is earned.
✨ You don’t learn from wins alone — Growth comes from losses. Be adaptable, flexible, and willing to change.

We’re grateful to Financial Design Agency of Ohio for investing in our students and for sharing wisdom that will shape not just our CEO journey, but who we become as leaders.
