Attention, incoming summer interns! We’ve reached out to leaders across Koch, including those who were once interns themselves, to gather advice just for you. Today, we’re sharing insights from our Vice President of Human Resources, Cara Chennault-Reid. She shares three tips as you prepare for your internship: • Ask questions • Embrace the journey • Understand and apply Principle Based Management™ With these tips in mind, we’re excited to see how you’ll use your unique skills and abilities to shape your paths.

As the summer internship season kicks off, and we are welcoming our new interns at Michelman & Robinson, LLP, I'm reminded of my own transformative experience as an intern in Germany at the Frankfurt offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer over 20 years ago. It was my first international business experience, and little did I know then how much it would shape my personal and professional growth. To all the students embarking on internships this summer, whether close to home or far afield, I'd like to share some reflections from my journey: Embrace curiosity: Your internship is a unique opportunity to learn. Ask questions, seek out new perspectives, and absorb as much knowledge as you can. Curiosity is the fuel that propels growth and innovation. Dare to think big: Bring your best self to work each day and don't hesitate to contribute your ideas. Your fresh insights as an intern can spark meaningful change. Dream beyond the immediate tasks and envision the impact you can make. Connect with others: Your internship cohort and colleagues could become the cornerstone of your professional network. Build relationships, collaborate, and support one another. The bonds forged during this time can last a lifetime. Embrace the challenges: Growth often lies outside your comfort zone. Whether it is navigating a new environment, tackling an unfamiliar project, or communicating across differences, each challenge is a chance to develop new skills and resilience. Looking back, my internship in Germany was a pivotal stepping stone in my career journey. To all the interns of today, I wish you a summer filled with learning, growth, and exciting new horizons. Embrace this opportunity—it could be the start of something extraordinary.

I loved this post from Asya Sharrow, and I think it's a great thought-exercise: Which early rejection are you most thankful for? For me, it was probably being rejected from the University of Michigan's Creative Writing Program (now called the Helen Zell Writers’ Program) back in ~2000. Being a fiction writer was my greatest ambition at the time. Not only did I have a great deal of passion for writing, but I also had a VERY, VERY high opinion of my abilities. (Yes, even back then!) I thought the application packet I submitted was going to blow everyone's wigs off, guaranteed. Except it didn't. And being labeled "not good enough" made me rethink...everything. Certainly my career path, but also my ability to self-evaluate. I'm not going to lie. It really hurt at first. But it also forced me to get creative about how I wanted to apply my talents and interests. After I got the rejection letter, I decided to re-focus on working for The Michigan Daily and exploring opportunities in journalism. That led to a madcap five-year run in the world of New York magazine publishing, and then seven years in online media — all of which gave me the skills I needed to transition to content marketing, a profession that has made me feel truly successful for the first time in my life. Now, what if I was one of the chosen few that got picked for U of M's Creative Writing Program? What if I'd gotten accepted, instead of rejected? I really don't know. Maybe I would have developed the skills and confidence to eke out a living as a semi-obscure fiction writer who publishes something every few years and never sells enough books to pay back my advance (or pay off my MFA loans), who has to supplement my passion through teaching creative writing, even though I was never a fan of being in classrooms in the first place. And that's a *best-case* scenario for most people who go through these programs. As a working artist, I would have continued to build my life on rejection letters and acceptance letters — a terrible way to live. My early rejection felt like a steel door slamming shut on one pathway in my life. But there were so many other pathways in front of me! I just didn't see them at first. Once I found them, the rest of my life began.
