Our CEO first guest speaker tradition continued this year as we welcomed back First Mid (Central) Division President, Steve Cooper!

Steve’s personal experiences and 33 years in banking give him a wealth of knowledge when it comes to professional development. His discussions and conversation with our young entrepreneurs stick with them long after class!

• Often times, it is the 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 that make the biggest difference.
• Having a great handshake, arriving early and prepared, your appearance, confidence and social medial etiquette all play a huge role in your 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃.
• Whether we like it or not, you are always 𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄. Someone is always watching. It only takes one major misstep to ruin your personal brand.

For the 7th year in a row, First Mid has graciously welcomed CEO back as their HOME BASE location. Their kindness and generosity continues to amaze us!

A big thank you to Steve Cooper, Abel Anderson, and everyone at First Mid Bank & Trust (Edwardsville Goshen). We cannot thank you enough!
