Internship Transformation: From Being Scared to Feeling Empowered at Leaderonomics

In this video, Maisarah, a Bachelor of Arts in English for International Communications student, shares her transformative journey as a Business Support Partner for the Leaderonomics Curated Events team.

Trust Beyond Expectations

Despite being an intern, Maisarah was given significant responsibilities, including contacting clients, meeting with stakeholders, and creating drafts from scratch.

Conquering Communication Fears

Even with a communications background, Maisarah feared speaking with high-level corporate professionals. Through constant encouragement, she learned to "just do it" and gained immense confidence.

A Proud Achievement

Maisarah shares her story of stepping out of her comfort zone to design marketing collaterals for the Malaysian Leadership Summit 2026 using Canva—a tool she previously avoided.

Theory vs. Reality

How this experience provided a much clearer view of the industry compared to the theoretical learning in university.
