Inspire’s Post

Because I love interns, I did a new thing this month... I try to tell you guys what I explore each month, and usually, it's less career-related and more real-life. This one is special. I love interns. I had waaaay too many internships in college and I know for a fact most programs suck. Most of us stop there, but I decided it was a disservice to know better and not teach others how to do better. Earlier this month, I shared all of my favorite insights into developing a Stellar Internship program with fellow A/E/C professionals. Here is one of my key insights. Measure and adapt. We may think things are going well but are we tracking and asking the right questions? Listen in and learn more. #ThoughtLeadership #PersonalBranding #Internship

Today was the first day for our 2024 Summer Interns!

NYL has got your back with tips on how to make the most of your summer internships for both interns AND managers! #NYLProud

Interns have huge value... ...if you let them! As an elder millennial, I only ever heard of interns fetching coffee and making copies whilst growing up, and that's the impression I think most people of similar age had of internships. Times have definitely changed and thank goodness for that! Yesterday we had our third annual Intern Showcase where several of our amazing interns spoke about the impactful projects they have been working on this summer. These are projects that will really benefit our business and I'm just loving what internships can be when you have a well-structured program that looks to benefit both interns AND the company. Its also important to me that they are given an opportunity to not only share their work, but to be able to build their presentation skills to a wide audience of senior leadership - this is why I and my virtual coffee hour co-chair launched this showcase three years ago. We wanted to make sure that our incredible interns felt supported and engaged with the rest of their fellow employees, making it a valuable summer for everyone. Who else has had a less-than-stellar internship experience when starting out? Do you see the same changes I see in today's internship programs?

@Celonis wanted to showcase their internships in an authentic way that only the interns themselves could have done. By giving interns the power to film themselves, while sticking to a shot list-format, they were able to do just that. #iphonevideoproduction #videoproduction #productvideos #marketingstrategy #contentstrategy #employerbranding
