The first example was during my first official call as a team leader. \u00a0I recently took on a leading position on the team working with our new client. We have had one \u201ckick-off\u201d call to introduce everyone working on the project from Cavi, as well as the executive team from the client. \u00a0This week, I initiated a call with the client and a few other Cavi team members to review the project description, goals, objectives, measurements of success, and overall expectations and process of execution. I led the entire call and was able to manage the meeting very well. \u00a0I went through the document that I created with the other team members working on this project. We talked through everything that we analyzed and presented as our expectations for the scope of the project. I facilitated a discussion so that throughout the presentation, the client had the ability to comment on our thoughts and input any ideas that they have for the direction of the project and what they would like to see. \u00a0The conversation was balanced and very productive, and I am excited to work more with this client.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a more personal side, this week was also the book launch party for Sam\u2019s newly published book. \u00a0At the launch party, I had an incredible opportunity to network with a variety of Sam\u2019s connections and extended network. \u00a0I spoke with many of the attendees and learned about their variety of careers. It was very informative and I was able to make some lasting connections who I will be able to keep in touch with and learn from. \u00a0I feel like I have grown a lot while working at Cavi and I am excited to continue taking what I have learned, both from the work and the company employees, to expand my network and grow my career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my time at Cavi so far, I feel that I have learned a tremendous amount and really developed my<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3996,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[76614,76613],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-contributions","category-solving-problemsimproving-leadership"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3996"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
