My values
One important value is adaptability. I maintain flexibility in completing tasks. Being open to change and improvements allows me to complete work assignments in a more efficient manner while offering additional benefits to my supervisors, co-workers and clients. I am able to adapt to the personality and work habits of co-workers and supervisors. Each person possesses their own set of strengths and adapting personal behaviours to accommodate others is part of what it takes to work effectively as a team. New strategies, ideas, priorities, and work habits can foster a belief among workers that everyone is committed to making a better place to work.
Another important value is empathy. This term for me denotes the potential for love

Initially, I was so focused on getting my task done perfectly that I failed to notice the low morale of the other team members and the difficulties that they were facing. I failed to take a step back and see how the project as a whole and the members were faring. Thankfully, I managed to come up with the new concept to boost the team’s morale and to overcome the difficulties that everyone faced together before it was too late.
Another weakness I showed is my fear of public speaking. As the concert’s organiser, it was supposed to be my responsibility to be the emcee on the night of the concert. However, I would get nervous when I was asked to speak in public. Furthermore, I hardly spoke up at the group meetings, opting to listen what the team members were saying instead. In the end, I chose to delegate the role to a member who was comfortable speaking in public. I avoided being on the frontlines and chose to work behind the scenes instead. Thankfully, the team member performed his duties excellently and the audience loved him as the emcee.

This is because overseas projects contain more challenges than local projects. In order to successfully lead an overseas project, I must first be well equipped to face the challenges that both local and overseas projects have in common by organizing a local project. These challenges include liaising with the organization we are serving, managing a team during a project effectively and serving our target group to the best of my ability. Local projects allows me to take on challenges and to hone my leadership skill in a more controlled environment. Should I face any challenges that I am unable to overcome, I can rely on the school’s centre for social responsibility for guidance as I am still in the country and will be able to contact them at any time. This will not be possible should I lead an overseas project without any prior experience as I will not be able to contact the school if I am
