CEO had an incredible visit to Contegra Construction last week with Founder & CEO Eric Gowin, where students were reminded that long-term successโboth in business and in lifeโcomes back to fundamentals.
Eric shared powerful, practical life lessons that resonated deeply with our students:
๐ Do the right thingโ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ค๐ฃโ๐ฉ, ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ
๐ Say what you mean, and ๐๐ค ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐จ๐๐ฎ (๐ฅ๐ก๐ช๐จ ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ก๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฉ๐ง๐)
๐ Be confident enough to say yes and ๐๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐จ๐๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ค

๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ more than you talk
๐ Look people in the eye, help where you can, and ๐๐ช๐๐ก๐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐จ ๐ช๐ฅ
These values are clearly reflected in Contegraโs culture and business model. Contegra is a 100% employee-owned construction firm that specializes in large-scale industrial and commercial projects across the country. With a strong reputation for integrity, accountability, and people-first leadership, Contegra proves that doing business the right way is not only possibleโitโs powerful.
Our students walked away with a clear message:

Eric, thank you for your time, wisdom, and for modeling what leadership with integrity truly looks like. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from you and the Contegra team (special shoutout to Katelyn for spoiling us with the breakfast treats)!!
