Our guest Matt Zinman is a personal success trainer whose experiences as an entrepreneur, athlete, single parent, caretaker, consultant and nonprofit founder, all of which led him to be a difference-maker.
Matt is CEO of The Internship Institute which he established in 2007 to bridge the gap between education, active duty and employment by “Making Experience Matter.”
His earned insights about self-discovery, relationships, mindfulness and life enrichment led Matt to write Z-isms: Insights to Live By, and it fulfilled his goal to positively impact as many people as possible.
There are many misconceptions around having internship programs, but if you do it right, the data shows you can gain hundreds of days of productivity from interns.
Matt shares the critical success factors around an internship program.
1. the CEO, whether it's the chief bottle washer solopreneur, or a multinational company, s/he has to be bought in, because the internships are really about being culturally embedded into the fabric of the organization.
2. someone has to own the initiative. At a larger company, let's say over 50 employees, that's the HR department.
3. train the supervisors on how to manage the interns
Matt also brings thoughtful insights from his book: Z-isms... grab a copy here: https://amzn.to/357le69.
It's a delicious conversation, and I'm excited to introduce you to this extraordinary entrepreneur!
