This afternoon felt like one of those days where you learn a lot without realizing you’re learning a lot. We started with the Riverhounds Director of Promotions and Entertainment, who somehow made me rethink what a sports team even is. I always thought teams were just teams. You show up, you cheer, you go home….

Communication via Korea.
One of the most interesting parts of my internship in South Korea was experiencing how communication differed from what I am used to in the United States. Before arriving, I had learned about the comunication scale between low-context and high-context cultures. Low-context communication relies on being direct and explicit, while high-context communication often depends more…
Low-Context vs. High-Context Communication in Korea: What I Learned During My Internship in Seoul
One of the biggest adjustments I had to make during my internship in Seoul was learning how differently people communicate in Korea compared to what I was used to in the United States. Before coming to Korea, I had heard about the concept of high-context communication, but I did not fully understand what it meant…

During my internship in South Korea, I learned that professional success is defined by more than simply producing good work. From my experience, success is closely tied to being dependable, completing assigned tasks efficiently, and contributing to the overall success of the team, wherever that may be.

Inside, we met Rosemary Boyce, the hotel’s general manager. She was gracious enough to give us a few minutes of her…

During my internship with Confirmo in Prague, I noticed that success was less about being the loudest person in the room and more about being someone others could rely on. People valued showing up on time, doing quality work, and working well with the rest of the team. Everyone seemed to take pride in what…
Arrival in Art Rocks (Carrigart)!
We’ve finally arrived in County Donegal, and this time our stop is where we’re doing our consulting project. If you don’t remember, our team is the Digital Disruption and Innovation team, and I’m responsible for leveraging AI use in businesses in Carrigart! To start with, the town is one of the most beautiful and inclusive…
The Side of Tourism That Many Miss
On Wednesday, we started the day with the Giant’s Causeway. It’s a foundation of pillar shaped rocks that people can traverse for quite a bit on. The history is surrounded with folklore, and the most common story is where a giant in Northern Ireland named Finn McCool was arguing with a giant across the Irish…
