UniFEM #1

We just had our first meetings with the whole planning team and Ms Mrinalini and Erny from UNIFem. Being a leader, even as a vice, I think that my previous leading experiences has refined me into being a more organized and motivated person. Personally I find myself more organized in outlining proposals and keeping the team organized.

Sometimes I feel as though I'm the main person keeping the team on-track with deadlines and delegations. I acknowledge that Selma is our main leader, but I do know that she is not very organized and sometimes a little erratic at times. That is probably why we work quite well together, I balance out Selma's disorganization with my slightly better organization. This too, shows that I have grown a lot since I first took on leadership roles in OSL, when I was very disorganized and had to rely more on experienced leaders like Yin Ying or Jia Wen.

Now with Selma I realise that she deals more with getting our contacts and brainstorming while I get her ideas organized and put those plans into action. It's funny how I've grown perhaps to become a little more organized to better suit the task I'm assigned to. This process may not be a very huge event, but this has shown that I am growing to take on better responsibilities as a person and even as a leader.

Although I am very enthusiastic about our project, I can't help feel as though we may not have enough time to plan for the event. If I do the math and count the number of weeks we have to plan and set up this event. We have less than 3 weeks to get the whole event with location, booths, people and overall logistics settled by National Day. With our very short run-way I think the whole event may not come together even with our planning. I am having my doubts but I will try to stay committed as a leader to this event.
