Helping Leaders Lead: My Summer Externship with The Bassic Trainer

This summer, I’ve had the opportunity to complete an externship with The Bassic Trainer, a company focused on leadership mentoring and training. Their mission is to help people become stronger, more intentional leaders in every area of life—whether that’s in business, education, or personal growth.

My main task has been assisting with the redesign and rebuild of their website. The goal is to create a user-friendly, modern platform that clearly communicates their services, supports their growing community, and highlights the launch of their upcoming book: Boss Level Adulting.

In addition to working on the website, I’ve also been reviewing the Boss Level Adulting manuscript and providing feedback. This book is a key part of their brand and message, and it’s been exciting to help shape the way that message will reach people.

I’ve completed over 200 hours of work, which has included:

• Planning the layout and functionality of the new website
• Reorganizing and updating content to reflect their evolving brand
• Offering detailed editorial feedback on chapters of Boss Level Adulting
• Collaborating with the founder to align the website and book messaging

This externship has definitely impacted my career knowledge and teaching style. As a teacher, I’m always looking for ways to help students think like leaders and take responsibility for their own growth. Working with The Bassic Trainer has given me new tools, language, and ideas I can bring into my classroom—especially when it comes to setting goals, building confidence, and helping students “level up” in their own development.

It’s been a rewarding experience to contribute to a real-world project that aligns so closely with the values I try to bring into education. I’m looking forward to finishing the project strong and taking these lessons with me into the school year.
