Deborah Johnson Gives Commencement Address at UW-Whitewater

Our very own Deborah Johnson was asked by her alma mater, the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater, to give the keynote address at its commencement ceremony on May 16. Ever the marketer Deborah emailed the students a survey beforehand in which she asked the graduates what kinds of things they’d like to hear about from her. The grads responded that they were most concerned about finding a job and paying off debt – so those become the main themes of her speech. While offering insights from her own life experience, Deborah gave the graduates tips on finding a mentor, finding a job, excelling at that job, networking, managing finances and setting goals. The speech was well accepted, and Deborah continues to receive requests from students and parents for copies of her address. Having personally benefited from her words of wisdom over the years, we know the graduates received valuable advice. Deborah has been a mentor to us all and has helped us develop the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in business and life. Thank you, Deborah!
