Jared Hall+FollowSeeing My Past Mistakes in an InternWatching our intern reminds me of myself three years ago. Back then, I was overly polite, my words dripping with deference. I was timid, always fearing that one wrong phrase could lead to sabotage or isolation. This mindset was especially strong in those without a solid support system, like me back then. I was always on edge, walking on eggshells around colleagues. It’s a tough lesson to learn—how to assert yourself without being abrasive, how to speak up without fear. I hope this intern finds her confidence sooner than I did. #InternshipExperience #CareerGrowth #SelfDiscovery #WorkplaceConfidence #PersonalDevelopment40Share
Jared Hall+FollowHow Personality Shapes Destiny: Lessons from Mentoring InternsAfter mentoring interns last month, I gained a deeper understanding of how personality shapes destiny. All the interns were capable and hardworking, starting from similar backgrounds. Yet, what truly impressed me wasn’t just their skills but certain "invisible" qualities. One intern stood out to both me and our department head—his ability to weave storytelling magic. Ordinary tasks became fascinating through his narratives. This talent shone at a company gala, where he captivated a client with his tales, sparking interest in our products effortlessly. It made me wonder: Is effort overshadowed by natural talent? #Mentorship #PersonalityMatters #InternshipExperience #LeadershipLessons #TalentVsEffort #Storytelling50Share
