Our project is taking shape in a different way each week. I would say that this week, between our presentation, and formation of our proposal, the direction of our project is becoming clearer. I came into the last few weeks thinking that we had absolutely nothing to show for. This week I have transitioned a bit of my thinking to figuring out the foundation of our proposal. The odd thing about the presentation this week was that only three members of our group had to present. I was not one of those that presented, because I feel confident in my presentation skills and wanted to give that opportunity to someone else that wanted to work on their abilities through the presentation. I helped formulate most of the presentation as far as content is concerned. It was nice to see everyone take part, and really work to their potential in contributing to the team. I think I have been a beneficial link in the team because I have taken initiative to set up meetings and make sure that everyone is on board with the direction of the team. I go out of my way to include individuals in my team that usually speak less, and get their input. I feel it is important to take every persons thoughts and use them to benefit in the conversations we have about our proposal. Another week to form our project, and I am sure next week it will be changed even further.
