“ Some people are better than
other people.”
” Some people are a helluva lota helluva lot
better than other people.”
or
Let me bust a few myths about Summer Stints
Disclaimer
It is just my POV. You are entitled to agree / disagree
☺
Myth: Tutors are too busy with their work to closely
observe traineesReality: Your tutor is watching you and making observations you and making observations
constantly!
Work like Michaelangelo – ‘God is Watching’
ENTHUSIASMBEGETS BEGETS
ENTHUSIASM!
Myth: It is enough to deliver a good project
Reality: Here is a chance to stretch yourself till you are at the stretch yourself till you are at the point of snapping. Get involved in
everything. Ask for more!
Throw yourself into everything you can. EVERYTHING.
“If things seem under control, you’re just not you’re just not
goingfast enough.”
Mario Andretti
Myth: The Tutor is responsible to give you feedback
Reality: You need to DEMAND feedback, regularly. Ask for it, feedback, regularly. Ask for it,
Demand it, Scream for it!
In getting early feedback you leave yourself with time to
salvage the situation!
The 10 Most Powerful 2 Letter Words in the WORLD
IF IT IS TO BE IT IS BE IT IS UP TO ME
Myth: It depends on how good a tutor you have
Reality: It depends on how many people you are able to wow with people you are able to wow with
your great work!
More than one opinion decides your rating! Make sure every
interaction counts.
Jack Welch: “I am a … Dispenser
of of Enthusiasm!”
Myth: Your stint is about work
Reality: It is about everything you do!do!
If it is a party, a farewell, a team bash etc. contribute, showcase your talents (singing / imitation/
public speaking etc.)
The Truth
The Way You Do SomethingIs The Way You Do
Is The Way You Do
Everything!

Parthian Shots.• Don’t lift off the net
– Many trainees have been caught doing this and the consequences have been severe
• VFCJ– Volunteer For Crappy Jobs and do an amazing job of it and
WOW everyone
• Be Remarkable• Be Remarkable– If you are asked to model 2 scenarios, model 10. Your tutor
will be zapped
• Work HARD– If your tutor tells you 4 weeks into your stint that you are
working TOO hard, there’s a 99% chance you will land a PPO
• Make every interaction / opportunity count– Network / Build friendships with people outside the
immediate team you work with.

“The only reason to give
a speech is a speech is to changethe world.”

“In classical times when Cicero had finished speaking, the people said, ‘How well he
spoke,’ but when Demosthenes spoke,’ but when Demosthenes had finished speaking, they said,
‘Let us march.’” —Adlai Stevenson
