The ACT SAT BATTLE: Meet the Queen Behind Your College Dreams!
Woke Up to Test Dread? Thank This Woman!
Remember those grueling SAT and ACT mornings? Rushing to a local high school at the crack of dawn, armed only with a No. 2 pencil and a prayer? For millions of students, this nightmare was a gateway to their futures. But today, we’re unmasking the powerhouse behind it all: Janet Godwin!
From Test Writer to CEO: Her Rise is Legendary!
You might not recognize her name, but this Midwestern dynamo has been changing lives since 1990! Janet joined ACT, not as a CEO but by crafting test questions! Fast forward 30 years: she’s now CEO, rubbing elbows with big names like GM’s Mary Barra and Walmart’s Doug McMillon. Talk about climbing the corporate ladder!
“I thought I’d be here a couple of years, but surprise! It’s been 35!” she reveals. Some might scoff at her loyalty, but Janet is a living testament to the power of dedication.
Gen Z, Watch Out! Job-Hopping May Come Back to Haunt You!
In a world where Gen Zers bounce jobs every couple of years like hotcakes, are they playing with fire? With 56% believing it’s totally normal to leap every two to three years, they might be risking their futures!
Janet warns, “If you’re too busy chasing the next job, you’re not serving your current one well!” This sage advice hits home as she draws from her own experiences. “You haven’t earned your ladder rungs unless you’ve mastered what you’re on!”
Curiosity Over Certainty—The Key to Success!
Godwin’s career wasn’t a straight path. With a degree in English but a dream of writing novels, she sought a practical route instead. “Explore! Don’t box yourself in!” she advises. “If you think you’ve got it all figured out, you probably don’t!”
At ACT, she eagerly jumped roles every few years—building a treasure trove of experience that prepped her for leading the company through a crisis like no other: the COVID-19 pandemic!
The Ultimate Test: Surviving COVID-19!
When testing centers slammed their doors shut, it looked like ACT was facing a dark abyss. But Janet’s weapon? Asking questions! “The best leaders know they don’t have all the answers!” she declares. “I might be CEO, but trust me, I’m still learning!”
So, the next time you sweat through that ACT or SAT, remember: behind those scores is a fierce leader who shaped the path to your dreams! Buckle up, students—the future is uncharted, but with the right mindset, you’ll conquer it all!
