What happens when your firm gets a new prospect or lead? If the first step and all the following steps aren’t clearly articulated, your team may be leaving business opportunities on the table.

Here's a picture of intern Alex starting his first week 15 years ago. Goofy photo aside, it really was a game changer. As somebody who now has the benefit of hindsight to recognize how important internships and mentors were early in my career, I'm really proud of the investments Leaf Home is making in talent development. - Internships with formal project assignment and evaluation - Self-paced educational curriculum - Formal mentorships - Leadership development program Ten years after that picture was taken, I was leading marketing for the same company, only it was 10x larger and coming off a successful exit. Leaders: investing in young professionals isn't just a benevolent pay-it-forward concept, it's critical to developing the pipeline of talent needed to sustain growth.

Representation matters. Seeing leaders of color at the helm of top companies isn't just about breaking barriers, it's about inspiring the next generation, fostering diversity of thought, and creating a workplace that reflects the richness of our world. 🌍✨ Oscar, one of our internship alums, shared about the highlights of his experience with The Script : “The professional development workshops, the opportunity to practice sharing my story, the exposure to BIPOC leaders, the social support felt by the program, everything!” #LeadershipDiversity #RepresentationMatters #InclusiveSuccess"

I engaged today with 70+ seniors to further support their readiness for senior internships. They went through Talent Magnet Institute®'s newly upgraded Leadership Foundations course as a part of their summer assignment. I commit that this group of seniors will be better prepared, having completed this assignment. They will demonstrate leadership attributes with great confidence in their intern assignment. We talked about the power of learning, education, problem-solving, resilience, the value of healthy conflict, and communication. Speaking of resilience: I had a first. The first-ever fire drill occurring while I was in the midst of my speaking engagement. 70% of learning happens through experience, experimentation, adversity, and application.

Many thanks to our panelists today Shannon O'Mara, CFA, Susana Rojas Chiros, Justine Gearin, and Makenzie Gorman for bringing to life the Loomis, Sayles & Company Undergraduate Women's Investment Network (UWIN) mentoring and internship program. A few key takeaways on why the program is able to deliver on its mission to "inspire, develop and recruit" a more diverse pipeline... ✅ A business need is driving the program - diverse teams make better investment decisions ✅ The program demystifies the investment industry for undergrads - so they can see themselves there ✅ Students gain early access to mentors and key skills - which helps them chart a path and grow their networks ✅ There is broad support across the organization (over 100 mentors!) and a willingness to take the long view - building a talent pipeline takes time To learn more about UWIN: https://lnkd.in/eC-WjaFP
