Month: January 2021

Well, in order to develop empathy for my customer, or in my case the company we choose to consult. I plan to locate an issue first and work to help them with that problem. From that problem solving and working with the company will result in empathy for them. I plan on responding to the needs of whatever company we work with by simply listening to them and letting it be known that we are there to help. Then fix or improve whatever is given to us. Overall this week went great and I can’t wait to see what this coming week has for us!

Out of what we did this week I’d say I loved doing the pitches the most. It was very fun to be an E2 going into VP1 and having a lot more knowledge about the minor than before. I probably would have loved to been able to achieve the first place spot on VP1, but I am still happy we got second. This quarters VP1 project went great. This was my second VP1 and I feel that I got a really good idea of how it all works now. I plan to just keep carrying over what I learn from the past project into the present. Not facing any challenges currently.

When I read the culture of belonging statement in the syllabus, it makes me feel reassured that the new students understand they belong. I never had that problem as an E1, but I know how this class can become overwhelming at times. When students first join the minor and feel overwhelmed, I can see how they would think, “well maybe this class isn’t for me”. So having the culture of belonging is a great way to help them stay in the program. I feel prepared for this quarter, it’ll be my second time in the class so I am feeling great and ready to get started. I hope my journey as a E2 is just as great as E1. I have the same sparks and inspirations as last quarter, just excited to get to work and become a better entrepreneur. I would say the culture of belonging really stuck out to me more this quarter since last quarter was my first time in the class and I was still getting a feel for it.
