🎬 Movie That Influenced Me: "The Intern" "The Intern," directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, is a film that left a profound impact on my life. This heartwarming comedy-drama tells the story of a 70 year old widower, Ben Whittaker (played by De Niro), who becomes a senior intern at an online fashion retailer founded by Jules Ostin (played by Hathaway). 🌟 Key Takeaways: Value of Mentorship: Robert De Niro’s character, Ben Whittaker, reminded me of the immense value that experience and wisdom bring to the workplace. Intergenerational friendships can bridge gaps and foster mutual learning. Leadership Lessons: Anne Hathaway’s portrayal of Jules Ostin, a young entrepreneur balancing work and life, mirrored many of my own challenges. Her journey inspired me to better delegate, trust my team, and find a healthier work-life balance. Embracing Change: Ben’s decision to re-enter the workforce in his seventies taught me it’s never too late to pursue new passions. This message motivated me to step out of my comfort zone and seek growth opportunities, no matter my age or past experiences. "The Intern" is more than a feel-good movie; it's a powerful reminder of the enduring nature of human connections and the importance of continuous learning. Have you watched "The Intern"? I'd love to hear how it influenced you! 💬 #Mentorship #Leadership #CareerGrowth #TheIntern #Inspiration

I'm a little late but I couldn't let the National Intern Day slip away from me. I absolutely have to highlight Jess LeSueur-Houtz! Lencioni has a philosophy that the best hires are hungry, humble, and smart. Jess is all three of those things. Jess, starts her internship and within two weeks had the entire leadership team raving about her. A leader- to me- is not a title; it is an action and Jess is it. It's rare to meet someone whose name becomes a verb and noun, ie "How can we Jess this thing? Or "how can we get some Jess like energy into this?" Here's how she made an impact over the past few months: 🏆 Hungry: At 7:59am she was asked to edit something by a VP before 9:30am and told it's okay not to do it since it's a last minute ask. She not only got it done way before 9:30am she also had some suggestions how to make it better. 🏆 Humble: There is no task to little for Jess. She is excited to learn and sees every opportunity that way. Our team observed when you give her feedback she lights up and gets excited someone has found a way for her to improve. If you pitch her a project her enthusiasm to take on more work is so big - it's contagious. 🏆 Smart: Multiple times she's taken the initiative to connect the dots for her leadership. She will say, "hey I heard this earlier today do you think that's relevant here?" She's absolutely not afraid to be wrong and would rather ask the question than assume the answer. Congratulations Jess. You up level every project you've touched, every team you've influenced, and our entire team culture. I can't wait for your to start in your new role next week! #nationalinternweek #highpotential #leadership
