10 Things You Didn’t Know About Stephanie McMahon

4. She Has A Degree In Communications

To earn a degree in communications, one must be well-versed in a number of areas and disciplines. Journalism, broadcasting, copy writing, media, marketing and politics are all fields that the young man or woman must be able to dabble in if they are to succeed in the communications world. That was the task facing a young Stephanie McMahon during her days at Boston College.

Like her father, she worked incredibly hard to accomplish her goal and has turned her communications degree into several high-ranking positions within World Wrestling Entertainment. It is her experience in a number of different areas that has helped her ascend to the top of the professional wrestling industry and become a trailblazer for women executives in the entertainment world.

The business world is highly political. Any single word, phrase or sentence given to the public can be picked apart, manipulated and used as a weapon to take down those in charge of a powerful company. Navigating the professional landmines set up by competitors or detractors is key to the long-term success of your company and growth in the industry.

Stephanie's understanding of politics coming out of college, not to mention her media savvy, helped tremendously with her development as an executive.
