Brock attended PMA's High Performance Management Conference as DMA's representative.
Interns have been a mainstay at DMA for the last 6 years, but this is the first summer we have brought on not one, not two, but three fabulous students to join us as we work to increase the consumption of fresh produce. I couldn’t be more floored by how lucky we are to have this crop of talent working here for the summer!
In today’s fast paced, ever-changing world, it is not enough to simply be memorable. No, today it takes a lot of work to establish a brand for yourself whether you’re running for political office or trying to establish yourself in an industry where you believe passionately that your talents can make a positive difference.
I’ve become very conscious of the powerful personal brands in our own industry, and recently at United Fresh 2013 in San Diego, it hit me. There are several recurring attributes that each of the leaders I look up to possess and that I believe are necessary to be relevant and, well, outstanding. This is my list.
At DMA, we’ve spent years integrating internships into our company culture and have even had successful remote interns. Not that we’re running a Yahoo-sized biz here, but we don’t entirely agree with Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s assessment that remote working isn’t conducive to collaboration and productivity. So we turned to Danielle, our current remote intern, to gather her perspective on the hot topic. And what she delivered, below, is a smart read from a quirky and talented millennial that will provide additional insights for employers and interns alike!
