Overview
As the business management desk works across so many different projects, there was no "typical day". However, I spent most of my time working on and completing the projects that were allocated to me at the start of the internship. This allowed me to show my individual strengths whilst also working collaboratively with the rest of the team.
Skills
LBG's values and emphasis on a "growth mindset" meant that we got continual training in and and exposure to a variety of skills. We had workshops everyday that helped us discover and refine skills that have helped me both personally and professionally. It is hard to pin point a single skill.
Responsibilities
I was given four projects to do work on individually and was included in team meetings/ project discussions. This meant that I had responsibility and also felt like a legitimate member of the team.
Support & Guidance
My team was always there to support me and throughout the internship we were encouraged to having a work-life "harmony". Prior to the internship I was also allocated a buddy and a mentor!
Culture
The atmosphere is incredible. Whilst it is a corporate environment, due to LBG's values, it does not feel hostile whatsoever. In reality it is a welcoming and comforting environment that promotes personal and professional growth.
Your Impressions
I extremely enjoyed the internship and would love to go back someday. 10/10!
Yes
1) Never be too scared to ask a question (trust me) 2) Unrealistic goals create real feelings of disappointment (be honest with yourself and others) 3) perfectionism isn't always the perfect approach (stop getting stuck up on the small details and focus on progress, you can always (and should) come back to the details eventually)
