As the 1996 Pulitzer and Tony Award Winner, I had long thought of it as my personal unicorn. Something I had heard and dreamt of, but would never experience myself. As we dressed for the show, my thoughts were flooded with images and ideas. We descended the hotel stairs, hailed

Simulation Reflection The simulation was very interesting in that my partner and I were given an opportunity to think critically about how to approach to influence different managers and workers with different characteristics. By running the simulation twice, it allowed us to find out what actions have worked and what did not during the first run, and then second run allowed us to apply what we learned to complete the second simulation in a much more efficient and timely manner. There are three

I pick Doris up following work to meet Zak and Gordon at The REI store. The process of buying a road bike is effortless with Zak. He shows Doris and me the exact ones for us. Without hesitancy, she pulls out her credit card. I am less eager to spend the money, but don’t overthink the expense and just do it. Gordon is next to pick one. He takes his time and eventually settles on the bicycle Zak prefers. And later, it’s time to shop for cycling clothes, a pair of road shoes, bike accessories and
