JP Morgan reveals why your 'shortcomings' are an asset

Global banking giant JP Morgan has proved that you don’t have to fit a certain mould in order to dominate the financial world.

A recent video blog documenting the trials and tribulations of the bank’s most recent flurry of interns celebrates diversity in all its forms. The series of inspirational videos are narrated from the perspective of the intern, telling the story of how their supposed “shortcomings” actually helped them achieve their goals.

One video comes from an intern called Poppy, who explains how as a shorter person she has had to find her niche in the sporting world. Characteristics such as a “proud booming voice” and a smaller stature meant that she made the ideal coxswain, a role which helped her realise the necessity of hard work, team work and trust - both in the open waters and in the world of finance.
