With my daughter Anna starting a summer internship at Brillect this week, I'm reminded of a quote that came across my computer a few weeks ago, "Be the person you needed when you were younger."  In the next few weeks, college-age interns will be starting in offices everywhere. What if we all went beyond the basic, 'Hello, nice to meet you," to honestly share those pieces of advice or insight that would have made a difference when we were starting out? It doesn't have to be big to be impactful. Schedule a lunch with them, take the time to meet with them, and encourage them to ask questions. No matter our role, we all have something to offer those just starting their careers. I'd love to hear from others with ideas or advice on how to pay it forward in the coming days and weeks. What advice made a difference in your career? What have you done to encourage or support an intern or young professional at your office? #mentorship #internships #careerdevelopment #payitforward

As many students will start summer internships tomorrow, I want to share three tips for the first week to help ensure a successful summer. 1. Solidify goals & deliverables - clarify what success looks like for your role and what are the end of summer deliverables. 2. Develop communication and feedback plan - ask your manager how best to communicate updates and how often, align on timing of formal and informal feedback. 3. Meet the team & learn the organization - know who to go to for what, both on and outside of your team, understand firm culture norms and take time to understand how your role and team fit into the broader organization. Happy interning!! #SummerInternship #CollegeStudents #TalentDevelopment #EarlyCareer

After the rain stops, carrying an umbrella becomes a burden for everyone. Similarly, in many corporate settings, the loyalty of interns often faces a similar fate. I've noticed a concerning trend in several ed-tech companies. Interns work hard for three months, delivering results, only to receive a piece of paper and then watch as new interns take their place for the next three months. This practice is fundamentally flawed and needs to be addressed. The value that interns bring should be acknowledged and retained, fostering a culture of loyalty and growth within the organization. Let's work towards ending this cycle and promoting a more sustainable and mutually beneficial approach to internships. #Internship #CorporateCulture #CareerDevelopment
