Positive team experience

In my experience, when eight very unique, ambitious and talented people come together to form a group, there’s bound to be drama. No one is used to taking a back seat and allowing others to lead them, and the group spends more time “storming” than “performing” (borrowed from one of our executive lunches).

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this scenario wasn’t at all applicable to our 2006 intern class. Granted, we’ve had a few disagreements amongst ourselves and struggled to find our place within the group, but overall, every day is more fun and enjoyable as a direct result of our group. There’s such an amazing mix of personalities within the group of interns, and you never know who’s going to say what next and catch the group off guard. Whether it’s playing pool during lunch or just chatting at a meeting, the harmonious blend of our ideas and personalities is a constant surprise.
