When you get to work with your own daughter... Sure, I've seen my daughter Chase Carpenter in action. I've seen how her smile and positive energy can draw people in. I've watched her rally groups of young women, whether it's for pure fun and community development, or it's for a purpose-driven event, meant to move the needle. She's an organized, efficient, and magnetic leader. So you may imagine my pride getting to work alongside her this past summer at The Lola. The Lola is a vibrant, women's community space where I've been co-working for the past year and a half. I've also contributed some work to The LOLA team, helping Dana Xavier Dojnik with project management processes and content marketing; starting and co-leading a weekly accountability group with Melissa Uppelschoten, now led by superstar Qiana Avery, SHRM-CP; and co-facilitating the monthly, in-person Founders & Freelancers group with the incomparable energy-shifter Kafi London. In short, being part of The LOLA community has been my jam. When The LOLA accepted Chase as an intern last spring, I knew she'd fit right in. She understood the assignment: to help support the powerful network of inclusive, female entrepreneurs and women in business who want to build a life and career in which we are constantly growing, thriving and succeeding. It's exciting to see young women realize and embrace their own power. It makes me wish I knew what they already know when I was in my 20s! But it was a different time and we were ALL different people. :) I'm excited to keep my focus on what's ahead for all of us. Because women - young, mid-life and wise - will change the world. Established women in business and emerging female leaders: if you haven't felt it yet, lean in. And lean in HARD, because our time is NOW. #WomenInBusiness #FemaleLeadership #NextGenLeaders #MotherDaughterTeam #EmpowerWomen #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityLeadership #FemaleEntrepreneurs #MentorshipMatters #TheLOLA #WomenWhoLead #CareerGrowth #InclusiveLeadership #YoungLeaders #WomenEmpowerment

Meet Trey, our Strategy & Planning Intern. He jumped straight into work with us this summer and has been learning so much working with our incredible planning team. Today, we’re wishing him a happy #NationalInternDay! Get to know this VCU Richard T. Robertson School of Media and Culture senior below. Q: What is your favorite part of your role? A: I love the opportunity to learn new things. Being an intern is awesome because you’re able to get your hands dirty, observe the pros, and ask the stupid questions that are inevitable when entering the industry. Elevation is such a welcoming place and I couldn’t ask for a better crew to spend my summer with. Q: What’s something interesting about you that’s not on your resume? A: I am the proud winner of the 2011 Morrisville Elementary School Talent show, being one of only three second graders to ever win it at the time. I may have only been eight, but my dance moves were a solid 10. Q: If you could use one word to describe your career journey, what would it be? A: Dawning

Meet Wren Heron ‘24! Wren studied Communications and Media and minored in English and Asian Studies. We asked Wren about future plans and favorite parts at Naz: 1. What was your best experience at Naz? If I were to rank my best experiences, the top ones would be the time I’ve spent with the friends who I’ve made on campus. Nothing compares to the affinity we found with each other and the way we all supported each other in growing and learning about ourselves. 2. Who was your favorite professor? Dr. Phillip B. Guingona has had a tremendous impact on me as both a student and a person. His classes allowed me to pursue academic interests that I hadn’t previously had the opportunity to explore, meet my closest friends, and start learning more about myself. As a professor, Phillip truly values the lens that I bring to the classroom as an interdisciplinary student, and he has wholeheartedly supported my research and academic endeavors, even when I haven’t been confident in them myself. 3. What’s next? Summer internship at LáLew Public Relations- a woman and minority-owned public relations firm that champions diversity, equity, and inclusion in client work. After the summer, I hope to pursue a career path that allows me to engage in DEI work and push for more inclusive and accessible language.

I started my career in communications interning at Financial Times. I remember being in awe of seeing the NYC office for the first time, journalists clacking away on their keyboards, drafting their news stories, hustling to gather sources. A cacophony of sounds fueled by black coffee and tight deadlines. I’d take a copy of today’s paper on my way out and attempt to read it on the train, its giant, pink-tinted pages brushing against pissed off commuters’ shoulders on the subway. I thought I was so cool, yet I barely understood what I was reading at the time 😅. I’ve been finding myself thinking of these memories a LOT lately, especially as I tap into my PR roots as part of this new role. I was in my last semester of college at SUNY New Paltz, and decided to accept a full-time internship at the FT. Swapping late-night brews for crack-of-dawn lattes, college papers for media pitches, quick jogs to my dorm for dreaded 6pm trains back to Long Island. Penn Station. Oof. As I pass the two month mark as the Director of Communications at Smart Electric Power Alliance, I can’t help but think of 22-year-old Natalie who DREAMED of being in a role like this one. Likely while commuting back home on the LIRR. I was, and still am, so passionate about what I do, especially now, working to build awareness and buzz around a 501c3 nonprofit that is fueling the energy industry's transition to carbon-free. What a privilege to be able to find a role that moves you. To be able to align your work with your values. To find a position that, somehow, is the culmination and result of all those little and big career decisions you’ve made thus far. Some of which you weren’t sure were right for you, or too “big” for you, but you did it anyway to prove to yourself you can do hard things and learn along the way. All this to say, I feel fortunate to be where I'm at in my career, young Nat was onto something big, and I'm so glad I don't have to commute into Penn Station anymore 🤪 Share an internship memory with me! #Comms #DigitalCommunications #CareerGrowth #WomenInMedia #OneThingToKnow

Huntsman’s #SummerInterns from The Woodlands, Texas, joined Kevin Gundersen, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Government Affairs, for a lunch-and-learn session. They gained valuable insights into the world of government affairs and how it impacts our industry and operations here at Huntsman. Gundersen shared his firsthand knowledge and professional experiences with the students, who were eager to learn more about the impact of government affairs on the organization and industry. When asked by the summer interns what skills he had gained from government to corporate, Gundersen answered, “When you’re a senator or CEO, you have a certain type of personality. Amazingly similar. All these people are well-intentioned. Learn how they communicate and with whom. Very similar to CEOs. Apply the same tools of campaigns to business. Politicians ask for votes; CEOs ask you to work for them. Touching people’s hearts and minds. I never knew the skills I developed in D.C. would apply to corporate settings. Build skills that have value in future jobs. You’re building a body of work over your career,” Gundersen said.

Here is a article everyone needs to read!!
While it's widely reported that Kamala Harris has had a 91.5% turnover rate in staff as Vice President, what the corporate media won't tell you is how she actually treats those who work for her. In 2019, a father whose son interned for Harris when she was attorney general of California wrote the article below which details how his son was treated. Some of the lowlights: 1) She instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, “Good Morning General.” 2) His son was given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members. 3) She used profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. The staff was in complete fear of her. 4) Never once during the internship did Harris introduce herself to his son and staff was too intimidated by her to introduce him. Please share this with everyone -- the American public needs to know this.

6 useful personal behaviors I’ve instilled during my Woodson Equity internship thus far. 1. Arrive before everyone else; using that quiet time to get settled and focused. Being ready to go as my colleagues arrive sets a productive tone for my day. 2. Breaking my day into hour-long segments. Tracking my activities this way helps me maximize tasks and maintain productivity throughout the day. 3. Use Excel to log my tasks and progress, ensuring everything is organized and easy to follow. Regularly give situational reports my current status on taskers. The work I input into software is almost anonymous, helping my team stay aligned on ongoing projects and responsibilities. 4. Further my connections both in and outside the office. For instance, during my summer I was selected for jury duty in the Northern District Court of Illinois, I met amazing individuals, some whose paths have since crossed with mine during my daily commute. Our mutual commonality in being veterans and working in finance truly demonstrates the power of maintaining connections in unexpected places. 5. Take detailed notes during meetings, tracking key conversations, and sharing those thoughts with my leadership. Asking questions will uncover valuable insights and develop a deeper internship experience. 6. When communicating electronically, always aim for clarity, conciseness, and professionalism. Avoid poor habits like using overly casual language, or unclear phrasing. Review emails and messages to ensure they reflect my best self and convey my thoughts effectively. I’m glad to be apart of this team of skilled individuals while still unraveling so much to learn. #TheWoodsonWay #PrivateEquity #InsideAnInternship
