#MakeMoves

Look who’s been making moves! Paula is a Senior majoring in Psychology and minoring in French. Last summer she interned as a Marketing & PR Intern with IHG, a hotel group that manages Intercontinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, and Staybridge Suites. During her internship, she aided the PR team in creating marketing materials for the different brands and was able to strengthen her Portuguese written and verbal skills. Paula used Toppel’s services while searching for an internship and met with an advisor who helped her focus her search on a field she was truly interested in.

Paula is also the president of the Miami Mindfulness student group and started her own YouTube channel, The Deep Lifestyle. She modeled her YouTube Channel around a workout concept she created called DEEP®; a combination of HIIT, kickboxing, yoga and deep house. The concept revolves around brief 2 minute videos that teach you how to live life on a more conscious level.

Some advice from Paula: “Don't follow the rules! Who says you have to work a 9-5 if that's not what you want in life? Dare to think differently- it is the only way to true happiness.”

4 Tips for Developing Leadership Skills

Effective leadership is a skill that must be practiced and honed, even by natural born leaders. Whether you learn from the knowledge of others or get insights from your own experience, becoming a successful leader is about what you do and how you communicate with others.

In this short-read, LinkedIn's CEO, Jeff Weiner, provides 4 practical tips on training yourself to be a great leader.

One of our favorite points:
“Leaders who recognize the importance of humility and emotional intelligence are the ones who are able to inspire. These leaders concern themselves with action instead of position.”
