Motivational speaker Linda Hannah had her doubts about higher education. Then she came to HFC, where she found the confidence and tools she needed to succeed. “After getting married, having three children, and owning my own business, I realized I could handle college. It was not as hard as I had made it out to be,” recalled Hannah. “My mother has also profoundly shaped my approach to business professionalism and lifelong learning. In her 50s, she attended community college and earned an associate degree in business administration.”
