-: You know what I love most about this job
is the ability to work with such great students
and to see the eagerness, to see the enthusiasm
in a student's eyes about a particular career,
one of the things I learned early on
is that I wanted students,
I wanted to help students discover their passion.
Yet passion for 19, 20, 21 year old
is very difficult to find.
But starting to help them understand what they're good at,
what they're interested in,
what they have skills for
and getting across this notion that
your career's going to be a long one,
you're going to have multiple careers,
so you just need to get started, get experience.
When you can relieve that pressure
of the first job in a student's mind,
then you can start to make progress.
I think one of the biggest challenges I face
is making sure that my people have the resources
and the environment to do their best work.
We definitely manage from a strengths standpoint here,
I'm really trying to help people understand
what they're good at and where they can do
their best work and get them in that job.
We have an office of around 40 people
and so there's not a lot of ability to move around,
but when you learn what someone is good at
and try to get them in those roles,
get them spending more of their time doing that,
then they're gonna be more successful and happy.
