384: Why Interns Deserve the Truth About Their Performance
How do you give honest, constructive feedback to interns who didn’t quite meet expectations? With summer internships coming to a close and many of you preparing to welcome new faces this fall, it’s the perfect time for us to talk about what it really means to lead young professionals, even when those conversations feel a little uncomfortable.
In this episode, I’m sharing my own lessons from years of working with interns, some who shined and some who needed a little help understanding the importance of how they show up.
I’ll walk you through my favorite feedback framework, a simple, three-part approach that makes these conversations both impactful and supportive. We’ll talk about why paid internships matter, what interns can bring to your business, and how clear, candid feedback sets them (and you) up for long-term success.
