SEPT 12 MEDIA RELEASE__Bluffton students, faculty and staff gathered for a recent forum led by Bethny Ricks ‘06, Bluffton University Trustee, executive consultant and author of Face Forward, who spoke on the topic of decisive decision making, a skill she describes as essential both personally and professionally.
“This topic is really important to me,” she began. “So important that when people ask me one of the skills that I focus on with my children, I say, well the litmus test for whether or not I am a good parent is whether or not they become decisive decision makers.”
