Shriya Arora’s Post

did you know? We have been lucky to welcome over 30 students those past five years to do internships with us. Some like Yahel, Ferran, Sebastian and Fiorela joined the team full time after their internships. Others went back to university like Lucía who went to Harvard University, Adrien and Maite went back to finish or start their medical school. A few decided to join consulting firms like Matteo who joined Bain & Company (and got promoted manager recently), Mandy who joined Gartner, Himanshu who joined McKinsey & Company, Caterina who joined OWT - a Swisscom company, Alla and Cristina who joined IQVIA or Alfonso who joined Inventa. Others pursued their careers in investment like Sanchita who joined SAGANA or in finance like Marta who joined Morgan Stanley. Others chose the industry like Samantha who joined Novartis, Albert who joined ISDIN, Alexia who joined Nordstar Medical, Nicole who joined Greenlight Re. While some decided to be entrepreneurs and founders to tackle unmet needs themselves like Lucía who started YouShift, Mariana who just launched Joona, an app to access health information, Paolo who joined Antler or Lesley who co-founded Cambridge Femtech Society. We are very proud of each one of them, even if we didn't mention them all here, of their career development and the impact they are having in the different routes that they chose. #wearenina

Good perspective on what it takes to be a CEO.

Excellent example Rajan Singh of a 'T' shaped employee, wherein the noticeable trait is the elasticity with which one can move and anchor on points of interest and attention on both dimensions - the horizontal (zoom out / 60,000 ft) and vertical line (zoom in / 6 ft) making it up! Good to know of such professional grooming philosophies when in the academia itself - start as a 'V' shaped (6 ft at start simultaneously adjusting binoculars towards 60,000 ft) and get chiseled on the way to a 'T' shaped. #ProactiveToWin

In 2006, during my summer internship, Kevin Sharer, the then CEO of Amgen, was invited to speak at McKinsey's New York office -- he was an alumnus of the Firm. After his talk, someone asked him, "What is the hardest part of being a good CEO?" He said, "Some jobs require you to think at a 60,000-foot level. You think about strategy, competition, and all the big picture stuff. Some other jobs need you to think at the 6-foot level -- you get into an incredible level of detail. "A CEO has to be able to operate at the 60,000-foot level, at the 6-foot level, and at every level in between. And you have to be able to make these transitions nearly instantly -- sometimes from one meeting to another. "This ability to effortlessly move up and down the ladder of abstraction is one of the hardest things about a CEO's job." As the CEO, one moment, you might be figuring out why the assembly line is breaking down. The next moment, you might be looking at entering a new market. Nothing is off the table. The higher your ambition, the wider the range of issues you should be willing to grapple with. Some people have depth. Some have breadth. If you want to be a leader, you need both. 😊 *** At HabitStrong, I offer programs for calm productivity, digital de-addiction, and building focus: www.habitstrong.com

🌟 **Reflecting on an Incredible Journey** 🌟 As I wrap up my time mentoring two outstanding interns at AstraZeneca, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and accomplishment. This experience has truly been a turning point in my professional journey, giving me invaluable lessons on leadership, mentorship, and personal growth. This experience wouldn’t have happened without the environment that AstraZeneca provides, supporting it’s people and their development, fostering an environment where growth is not just encouraged but celebrated. The guidance and opportunities I've been given have sharpened my leadership skills in ways I never imagined. Being a mentor to these two talented individuals has taught me so much about motivating and guiding others—a reminder that leading is as much about learning as it is about teaching. I'm also incredibly fortunate to have had Hamza Jaraden and Meera Daghash through this journey. Their commitment to learn, passion, and enthusiasm for every task was beyond impressive. I feel lucky to have played a small part in their journey, and I can’t wait to see what you achieve next! The lessons and experiences I've gained over the course of this internship have profoundly shaped me, not just as a professional, but as a person. I look forward to applying everything I've learned to new challenges, and I’m excited to continue growing with this incredible team. Here’s to future successes and a never-ending pursuit of excellence! 🌟💼 #Gratitude #Leadership #Mentorship #Growth #Internship #AstraZeneca #BrightFutures #LeadershipJourney #TeamDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth

👋This past week, @Greif interns participated in a week-long immersive intern summit that provided an introduction to the company, the opportunity to network with many colleagues, and the ability to create meaningful connections with our fellow interns. Firstly, we appreciate the efforts of Tracy Studebaker and Michele Walker along with countless others in both planning and investing in young talent throughout this summit. During an engaging session and presentation with Chief Human Resources Officer @Bala Sathyanarayanan, we received exciting news: GREIF has been selected as one of Newsweek's Top 100 Global Most Loved Workspaces in 2024! Such an accomplishment hardly comes as a surprise, and it is largely due to GREIF’s unique culture. After diving deeper into our conversation with @Bala Sathyanarayanan about the building blocks of what distinguishes GREIF, we want to take a moment to reflect on some of those remarkable highlights. During his presentation, Bala emphasized a people-first mentality through servant leadership aimed at serving others. Through this, we were introduced to six attributes of a highly valued intern: being a business person (no matter your role at the company), leaving your work better than you found it, having a bias for action and following through, being a change leader, being candid and to the point, and being a complex problem solver. Throughout our discussion, we reflected on the importance and impact of company culture, curiosity and exploration regarding our own work, and pushing the boundaries and expectations of our role. We also delved into the importance of candid and direct communication, and how we can evolve to become complex problem solvers. One key indicator stuck out to us that we wanted to expand on: having a bias for action and following through. To us, this means being consciously change oriented and proactive. It means putting yourself out there even if you are uncomfortable. It means constantly reflecting on our past, energizing others, and asking questions. After all, no question is a dumb question. The place where you improve the most is outside your comfort zone. Being an intern means not just clocking in and getting the job done; it's about pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations by keeping your focus on the bigger picture. The only way to move forward is to step away from comfort. That's what will truly make you stand out. And we are committed to doing just that. #LoveWhereYouWork #Greif #InternSummit #MostLovedWorkplace

When I landed Business Development internship at Throne, I felt both excited and nervous. Since joining ESSEC Business School, it was my first experience that was based outside Tech 😶🌫️ Throne's LinkedIn page showcased incredibly accomplished individuals from Google, Amazon, McKinsey, and Goldman Sachs. I wondered if I could keep up After a few months, I asked a co-founder why they hired me❓ Expecting it was my skills or interview performance, his answer surprised me: "We saw that you had a YouTube channel, and we thought that was really cool!" He explained that top candidates have often similar profiles, but something unique can set you apart ✨ For me it was my YouTube Channel [Maven Talks], a passion project that I never intended to use for job hunting. This taught me a valuable lesson: the things that make you different are also the things that make you shine ♥️ Embrace your passions and let your individuality shine through! What's that one unique aspect about you that has helped you to standout? #careergrowth #professionaljourney #careeradvice

This summer, Origin Healthcare has recruited four interns to have the chance to be part of contributing to several company initiatives. Say hello to our new intern team! 👋 Our interns have dived into their roles, gaining valuable skills and insights in their first week! Here’s how we’re taking these lessons forward: #1: Roadmapping 🏁 Starting an internship can be daunting, but mentors Hailey How and Christine Lum Lung, introduced a transformative approach: working backward to set goals. By focusing on the end results and planning steps to achieve them, interns learned to manage time and structure responsibilities effectively, turning initial uncertainty into an organized and enriching process. This strategy will provide an efficient means of project progress. #2: Ownership of Our Work 🔑 Working at a startup with founders from prestigious backgrounds could be intimidating at first for interns who are beginning to sharpen their expertise in the field. However, the mentors encouraged the intern team to take full ownership of their projects, which gives us a sense of larger responsibility and leadership for our work. Because of this responsibility, we take pride in our work and strive to deliver the best results! Join us in celebrating the achievements of our talented interns as we continue to grow and make meaningful contributions to Origin Healthcare! - Intern Team Leads, Maddy and Thanusree
