Personal Narrative: Improving Team Performance

The game felt like a million hours left in the last quarter of the game for b-team. We waited on the sidelines for b-team’s game to explode as, we watched. The a-team started to drink water and stretch a little for the game.

After a challenging move from De Pere to Sturgeon Bay between my freshman and sophomore year, I can officially say that I have adapted well to my new community. In the beginning of sophomore year, one of my goals was to become as involved in my new high school as I was my old high school. I have accomplished that by becoming a part of the soccer team and joining a variety of clubs that all mean a lot to me. For example, A-Team works with other students that have learning disabilities to make social interaction a little more comfortable. In my opinion, creating a better learning environment for them not only benefits all of the students in that environment but it feels really rewarding.

managers work and did not want a new team leader with only a few years

I remember a time when I had to collaborate with a group of co-workers. It was a group of six, as a group we needed to come up with “Helping Our Mortgage Customers Save Their Home”. We as a group had to develop different ways to assist customers in saving their home, even if that meant discussing ways to let the home go for sale. We as a team developed an identical objective by learning from each other, sharing ideas, and knowledge. However, we shared ideas on the steps to modify your home, and the various options that are available to each homeowner. We collaborated on government plans that were also available. In order for the collaboration to work, we as a team had to work together to schedule meeting

A side by side coaching was done with Jason Shirley on this issue; the recap form was filled out for this particular enrollee (since this call was a part of our call calibration) I had Jason walk me through the process that he takes when completing the enrollment process for United Health Care. Jason showed me step by step what he does when it comes down to choosing a provider. Jason also showed where he stores an electronic copy of the provider directory that was sent to him prior months. Jason stated that the PCP ID was added to the application and he is unsure as to why the PCP did not show up when the application was submitted to the carrier. The suggestion that I made for Jason was to please make sure that before any application is submitted

My vision for Lehigh Athletics is that, as a whole, we are constantly striving to make improvements. For me specifically, this means continually examining my own performance as well as my teammates performance and helping them improve in any way possible. I am working to improve my team culture, and help all of my teammates reach peak performance.

Let’s be honest, every freshman is bound to get lost trying to find their way around school and I was one of them. I never knew that would be how I become a leader.

My feelings were all over the place. I was depressed, frustrated, upset until one of my friends came up to me and said “Hey don’t sweat it bro, if it wasn’t you it would have been one of us.” It didn’t make me feel any better but it was true. We got second place at a state championship. Next we had to line up to get the trophies and congratulate the other team. We walked into line to receive our trophies. Coach was asked to bring up our team captain to receive the runner up trophy. No one knew who that was, but our coach did. Coach yelled out “Carlos, Chase go!” Chase and I looked at in surprised and fist pumped each other. It was an honor for me to share the team captain with a good friend, Chase, but it was an even bigger honor to be a team

At the end of August 2008 when I worked in a company called Colsanitas in Bogota Colombia, I had the great opportunity to meet to Yanira Rodriguez who is my current partner.

I want to give a good grades for my group as a whole. All the members had a good passion about this presentation, and I think the prezi is also going well so far. We didn't had rehearsal yet, though the group members are good speakers, so I'm pretty sure that the presentation will go well, too. I think collaboration assignment is a lot harder than solitary assignment, because as a group, members have their own thesis statements, main points, and different focuses about organizing the work. We should have give away some of ours, and take what we don't prefer much. Though, I liked the collaboration, because the result by group is much better than by solo. I usually considered the order of our works. I think the sequences between the paragraphs are important as the contents to inform well.

My team now has a 12-1-1 record with a just a few games left until the District Tournament begins. I have 15 goals and 9 assists while shifting between CM and ST. I'm currently working on a new video and it should be ready to send your way in just a few days.

To get the team back on track, the first thing that needs to happen is another meeting; it might take some work because everyone is upset. If was Veronica, I would convince everyone to attend whether it be in person skype or by phone. There was a minor hiccup but the team shouldn’t give up because things turn sour. So Once the meeting is under way, we will get started addressing the current situation. The project is far from complete, George needs to be addressed properly without yelling and screaming. The team needs to know if he is going to be part of the team or not.

As I sat side stage, my legs twitched, palms sweat and avoiding eye contact with anyone surrounding a stressed inner silence consumed me as I gazed down at the ground, with my vision as hazy as my brain felt. I felt a sea of anxiety deep down like a swarm of butterflies trying to escape. I could feel my heart pulse rapidly increase as each second passed, as I clenched onto my surrounding teammates hands with a firmer grip. A two minute speech could not have gone any slower, and all I wanted to know was if we had made it… or not.

A leader is someone that believes in their vision as well as those they entrust to assist in the fulfillment of their vision. A good leader knows they cannot accomplish their goals alone and therefore are always developing others by equipping them to be leaders as well. My choice for leadership coaching is a gentleman who works at the hospital where my Aunt is a Registered Nurse. This gentleman has been a manager for their Critical Care Unit also known as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for many years and holds a master degree, but he has recently been promoted to a leadership position as Hospital Administrator. This position is responsible for hiring, evaluating, recruiting and leading specialist doctors and nurses as well as consultant anesthetists,

Enrolling in this class is particularly important as my communication with my five teenage children have taken a dramatic nosedive since their father and I divorced.
