Our top candidate and our least-favored candidate share their perspectives. We appreciate their candor and look forward to our next steps!
Interviews with candidates
Team Member Impressions From Month Two:
Anna -
Jennifer - I haven't enjoyed this month's cohort work very much, but I completely recognize the learning that is available to me. I think our biggest challenge as a group is that some of us really prefer to work one-on-one but because of the schedule, that's tough and it can be difficult to figure out how to make appropriate progress on the work when we have to depend on email and phone communications. It's been especially interesting to consider the past month after hearing Rhonda Hall's presentation on personal accountability. I challenged myself to figure out what my own role needs to be as we move forward. A positive outcome is that I've started discussing the idea of a community garden with my neighbors - I'm not sure I would've taken that step if it wasn't for this cohort project!
Ken -
Rob - I feel like our group is struggling, and I don't think I'm helping very much. This kind of situation is not my strong suit, but I'm hoping to learn from it. It will be interesting to see how we deal with the next challenge.
Susie - This month has been more difficult. As with most non-profits, the high of the first idea comes more difficult with practicality. For myself, I found it easier to express how I was feeling, and I think we all did. In the past session - we focused so much on consensus and being polite - but this month we all expressed our views more. This led to a clear understanding that we all learn/work/communicate very differently. As we continue, I hope to be able to use my voice and assert my opinion, and also be aware of how other people work as well. I am optimistic that we can take these challenges and turn them into even more positive outcomes for Bringing Health Home.
