Intention Timer

What role do you typically play on a team?

Typically I am a leader on a team. In my Senior Design project in college I took on the leader role. I think I'm naturally a leader but in this project we didn't have a leader and all were equally contributing / leading our teammates.

What resources or strategies did you use when you were presented with a technical challenge?

Something that helped my group was breaking apart and doing solo research on the technical challenge and coming back together to look out our different options with how to solve.

What is one personal/professional takeaway from this project?

That you need to agree to disagree. We came across issues that could be solved two different ways and we would disucss which was better but ultimately had to choose. If my approach wasn't choosen I needed to agree to disagree and get on board to keep working on the project.
