Team First Gear

I think that Team First Gear has worked together extremely well over the past few months, building off of one another's talents to create a strong group. We have discussed that one of the most difficult aspects has been execution of our ideas. We worked on our team for a long time making sure that all of our bases were covered, including peer reviews, delegation and good communication. 

Each of Team First Gear's members offer a unique but cohesive aspect to our team. Jenny is incredibly good at technology and organization: blogs, websites, and the video were all done well and efficient. Ian is a really good group member in the sense that I can tell he cares that everyone has their say and he often builds conversations through what he learns by listening to all of us. He was also the very first person to reach out to anyone about cars so I see him as a proactive person as well. Jessica is a great member due to her focus on the team- aspect of this challenge. She insisted on outlining goals, expectations and tasks for our group and this has kept us on track as we work to accomplish our goal. Jessica is also well spoken and persuasive; talk to her for a few minutes and you will probably end the conversation by donating your car. Kyle is a good member because he was the first person to put us into contact, making our group text message.

Overall each member has many strengths but utilizes the ones that are most needed in our group. I don't doubt that all 4 of my group members could perform well in public speaking or organization etc but I think that we have all found that through collaboration of our skill sets, we have become a very strong team. I believe this because I know that we all respect one anthers work and care more about the success of BLF and Goodwill's partnership than we do our own personal gain. Through this, however, I have seen all of my team members grow their leadership and team skills.
