I’d like to thank Belleville CEO for providing me an opportunity to further my public speaking and communication skills. This program has helped my confidence a ton because I can actually contribute to meaningful conversations now. I will be able to carry these new skills into my future career and personal relationships all because I had the chance to develop them in Belleville CEO. For me, one of the most meaningful experiences I have had so far in CEO was the mentor match days because at first on day one I was very nervous and shy that to even talk to the mentors was a challenge. But day by day I was able to hold a good conversation, nothing scripted or forced, just two adults speaking to each other. Looking back I realized how much these 3 days helped me have more natural conversations where I wasn’t stressed out or overthinking. - RJ De Vine, Session One
