o Working live in Excel so you see it, not just hear it
o Building a first real budget around a first real paycheck

o The fundamentals of investing and how to begin
About Mike Iem
I'm a Purdue graduate, former Microsoft product manager, and founder of The Ziem Group Consulting company. Early in my career I helped launch Visual Basic .NET, appearing onstage with Bill Gates at its Moscone Center debut, and I've spent the years since translating technical and financial concepts into plain language people can actually use.For the last decade I've delivered financial literacy workshops to College students — sessions sponsored by student organizations including IISE, APM and IESGSO. I built the workshop because the money skills that shape a graduate's next decade are rarely taught before they need them. Now I'm bringing it to more campuses.
Thank you
I am looking forward to hearing from you. I am always ready to present at another University!
