CCG Academy Mission

Classy Career Girl Academy believes that all of us are unique and extraordinary. We must continually strive to grow, change, learn and encourage each other to become better tomorrow than who we are today.

CCG Academy Rules

1.  I will support and help others in the community in the forum, in the Linkedin group or in the Facebook group as much as possible.

2.  I will not be afraid to ask others for advice and to seek the knowledge I need to be better tomorrow than I am today.

3.  I will block off time on my calendar to login to the academy AT LEAST a few times a week for 15-30 minutes. I know that the more I put in, the more I will get out.

4.  I am ready for a kick in the butt and I will make this a high priority in my life. I will not let other things like work and duties get in my way because I am important and I need to make time to improve myself. I know that my relationships and happiness will improve when I spend time figuring out and doing what I am passionate about.

5.  I will have fun learning something new!
