The more time I spend with the interns in my team, the more I am reminded of the incredible individuals who took the time to enable and believe in me. Their guidance, support, and unwavering belief in my potential have been instrumental in shaping my career path.
It's essential to recognise that each person we encounter is not just another head but a budding professional with dreams and aspirations. As we progress in our careers, it's our responsibility to pay forward the support and encouragement we received, particularly to those following in our footsteps, like interns.
Interns are not just temporary hires, they are the future of our industries. It's crucial to brighten the glimpse of their future and not dull it. Empowering them with meaningful tasks, guidance, and mentorship not only enriches their experience but also creates a culture of inclusivity and growth within our companies.
Let's strive to be the leaders we wish we had when we were starting out. Let's create an environment where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. Together, we can create a workforce where gratitude, empowerment, and paying it forward are the cornerstones of success.
