Support the intern... Never mind the big names with big offices (and maybe some big egos :), it is time to support the intern... as this could be mutually beneficial. When you put yourself and your work into the world you never know who is watching (this has surprised me countless times over the last 25 years)... I fully believe in treating everyone well on the way 'up' - I mean, really, whether you are going up or down or side to side, it is really important. The intern may be the person who is gathering the selections and if you are clear, concise, ready etc you could make the intern look excellent when they deliver those choices. You land on the desk and the intern looks ace... winner winner chicken dinner. Speak UP LIVE is on 1.3.2024 Are you coming? https://lnkd.in/eVTZijs7

It's almost summer internship season - how much are you thinking about multigenerational communication? (non-spoiler, but there's a Sunpointe Investments angle on this because we spend so much time looking up and down the generational ladder with clients, that I'm always extra amused by how wide our age spread is in our small team. it's reflective. Mental note to ask Jack Dwyer, CFA, CAIA if expanding to 4 decades of thinking was on purpose.) BACK TO INTERNS, and multi-generational colleagues, and maybe even family. You know what's the worst? Coasting. And Lindsey Bell just told guy penn and I where it comes from. "Coasting" comes from a lack of identity. When you're miserable, when your identity isn't tied to "owning" your work, you coast. You step back, and you don't care what happens. Want good interns? Want good multigenerational relationships - at work or within your family? Don't coast. Don't let them coast. Don't let yourself coast. Own it. Own fostering fulfillment, purpose, and authenticity. Own the whole vibe around the proverbial table you're setting. Those summer interns deserve an amazing experience. So do those older and younger colleagues of yours. Figure out how to make tying some identity to the ownership of the experiences you share, on your way to making things better. (I have to share this clip. It's from "The Shifting Future of Work" episode of Just Press Record on the Cultish Creative YouTube channel)

🎉 Happy National Intern Day! 🎉 Today, we took a break from our busy schedule to get to know our intern, Hayden Koehler, a little bit better. We couldn't miss the chance to ask him the really important questions. Check out his insightful answers below! 😆 #nationalinternday

can you point out what makes Cisco Circular and suitable at the same time ? they seem to have been able to apply the ReSOLVE Feamework for circular economic sustainability well within their company. Repurpose Share Optimize Loop Vietualize Exchange This is the new paradigm shift from linear business models to circular ones.

I don’t care what industry you are in. Multigenerational communication is imperative. 👇 I’m not a financial advisor - my background and perspective is a healthy mix of my time in the military, researching insurgencies and security concerns in academia and for the State Department, and people operations and leadership development in the private sector. The lessons shared by Matt Zeigler and Lindsey Bell are crucial for leaders in ANY organization to understand. Building a sense of ownership is where identity comes from, because to the new generations (and the evolving attitude of mid to younger millennials), that is where authenticity lies. With the perception that so many institutions have failed or will fail them, why attach their identity to an organization that is just a means to an end? They aren’t trying to coast. They just don’t want to row without a purpose. Case in point: When I started the International Relations Organization at Virginia Tech, an academically peer-reviewed published group, the idea was for it to be a student run think tank. No credit. No payment. No reward. No institutional oversight. Just belief in themselves and their intuition, their voice. I was an average of 10 years older than the majority of the members, and I had to bridge that generational gap Matt speaks on. So what did I do? I gave them ownership. Nobody coasted because they all wanted to be there. 45 undergraduate Gen Z students. Putting in serious effort week after week after week. They accurately predicted how the failed coup of Venezuela in 2019 would go down, 5 weeks before it happened. They wargamed what long term involvement US involvement in the War in Yemen would lead to (results are actually quite eerie, considering that project was in 2020). They wanted to be there because they had ownership of the process and product.They knew their words had value, and they could be their authentic self. When the research was done, when they got recognized by the university for the level of community, by members of the State Department for the opportunity they forged for themselves, they could look at each other and not say “We did a good job because this is what we were told to do,” but rather “We did a good job, this is what WE do!” More than one have expressed to me in years since that it was one of the most empowering experiences they had ever had. Simply because they were allowed to have belief and ownership in themselves. And they still do. Not only did they survive the pandemic that shut most student-led organizations on campus down, they found a way to thrive - without my help. I haven’t lead the organization in over 4 years. But since then the younger generation has put even more work in, getting published, getting guest speakers, and the alumni of the think tank have gone on to succeed in NGOs, the intelligence and defense industries, and more. If you don’t find a way to forge multi-generational relationships, you are coasting.
