This past weekend our EMBA Professional Development Committee hosted a lunch and learn
during the EMBA Saturday with Lynn Wong and Stephanie Magnuson as our guest speakers.
Lynn brings over 22 years of leadership experience in global logistics, having worked
with industry giants like Maersk, The Home Depot, Walmart, and the New York Shipping
Exchange. Lynn now coaches corporate high achievers to gain energy and beat burnout
to do the work they love. She is also a career coach to EMBA students.
Stephanie’s career features an impressive 15 years in Human Resources, including leadership
roles at Walmart and Murphy USA. She serves as the Vice President of HR & Strategic
People Partner at Tyson Foods and has extensive expertise in talent acquisition and
HR strategy as well as her dedication to professional growth earned her recognition
as one of the influential '40 under 40' professionals by Arkansas Business just last
year.
Lynn and Stephanie shared their advice on how to navigate salary negotiations effectively
and how students could leverage their MBA throughout the negotiation process. Thank
you to Lynn Wong & Stephanie Magnuson for their incredible insight and for sharing
their expertise with our EMBA students! We are also very proud and grateful to our
Professional Development Committee members Jessica Jones, Prabha Girish, M. Hossein Kashefizadeh, PhD, and Madison Temples for spearheading this event.
