What did you love this week? What would you have loved to have achieved this week?
I loved our event! It really feels like our whole team of 11 people finally found a shared goal and that was to make sure the event was awesome! It went great. I’ll admit that day one was more popular but I went to nearly every talk and I learned so much. I think my favorite talk was by Arathi because she helped me to plan a lot of things regarding my passions. I am so happy that this event is now done.

I learned how important it is to plan every moment and every detail of an event. If Amelia had not made the event plan that was detailed by the minute we would not have been as successful. That showed me how much work goes into an event. You cannot do it alone. I don’t even want to think of how hard that would be.
What challenges are you facing? What’s Next?
We are now facing the challenge of the pitch. We agreed not to do a practice pitch and I hope it works out for us. I am nervous for planning a pitch online. It seems very confusing and a huge amount of work. We already did so much work I hope we have it in us to pull it off.
What did you love this week? What would you have loved to have achieved this week?
I loved how easy going this past week was compared to the previous weeks. As a member of the outreach team, I feel like we had to grind really hard these past few weeks to ensure the timeslots were full. Now it’s all done! The event will be great and I am very excited to see what happens.

I didn’t really learn much from class this last week. I think a lot of my energy has been put into making sure this event is as good as it can be. It’s been really stressful and I personally am very ready for it to be over. I’m not sure I will ever plan another event in my life. It has been fun but not fun enough to want to do again.
What challenges are you facing? What’s Next?
Next, we need to make the event a success. That means on Friday and Saturday we actually do this thing! Holy sh*t I can’t believe this is real. The challenge I am facing is on that Friday I have two exams and a research paper due so a majority of my next week will not be dedicated to this event like normal.
What did you love this week? What would you have loved to have achieved this week?
I loved the game night! It was seriously so much fun and I am really happy that I got to be a part of it. I think it was the most fun for me because I somehow won two of the rounds and I really never win games like the ones we played. Usually, no one can match my humour but this group of people liked my answers which made me feel good. In class, I really liked Dr. S’s workshop about coaching. I thought it was really valuable and it taught me skills I will definitely need in the future.

I learned more about how we are going to be dealing with zoom-bombers for our online event. This was a really long conversation that our whole team had to work through. It definitely brought me some awareness of the negative sides of using the internet for our event. I think the chance of someone negatively impacting our event will be very low but it is always possible so we will keep an eye out.
What challenges are you facing? What’s Next?
The big challenge that I think we are facing is finalizing all the people who are presenting at the event. I am starting to get worried that not all the people I have asked to present will be ready. I also find it challenging to schedule all of the presentations and the inability to meet with anyone in person has become a very big hardship for me. Other then those few things I think the event will run smoothly and is going to be great!
What did you love this week? What would you have loved to have achieved this week?
I loved how much work we got completed this past week! I really feel like this event is coming together and I am getting less worried about it every day. Schantell and I have been working really hard to make sure we are contacting as many great people as we can be, Tori and Evarosa are doing the same! I am honestly very excited to see how it all goes. I think I am most excited to get people from around the globe to participate, Dr.S will be sending us the contact information of people all over the world! I think that will really make this event shine.

I am learning a lot about using my networks. Until now, I didn’t realize how many people I have in my life who are entrepreneurs or who simply have awesome skills that I can help broadcast in this event. For example, I have a family friend in Indiana who owns a furniture restoration company and he is going to do a talk about how he got his business up and running for so many years. I also know people who are dance teachers and professional chefs. I think this will be a great event.
What challenges are you facing? What’s Next?
Right now my challenges are minimal. If I was to list any it would be making sure everyone on each team is getting the same information. This has become a huge puzzle and very confusing. Outreach is doing the most right now and I think we have a huge weight on our shoulders. That’s okay though! Everyone is understanding and is here to help us.
