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
