Jose Gonzalez, Ethan Howard, Kayla Laskowski and I met with our client Mary Rachel Keville from AMP INK on March 23, 2018. AMP INK is located at 1081 Broadway Street, Buffalo NY 14212. AMP INK is a social enterprise of Matt Urban Hope Center Hope Work Program. They provide low barrier and job experience, training, and services to help current or previous experience homelessness to develop skills to improve quality of a stable life. Throughout the process and progress, we have made, I personally felt like my team should have put enough effort communicating as much as I did. I know we all have busy schedules, but at the end of the day, I didn’t want to feel or be stuck trying to figure out strategies for this organization. At first, it was awkward …show more content…

I would ask them questions about what they plan on doing; they never got in touch with me or double check if those plans would work out for AMP Ink. Through all and all, towards the end, as we got comfortable and communicated more on a daily basis, it was a stress reliever to know we were on the same page with the budget, tactics, and how to advertise their organization within the community. We figured out how to set up a time with Mary and get more information for this project, in order to combine everything together. We worked at our own pace and patiently waited for one another to be done on their part, so we could organize and make sense of what to do and talk about. When we met in class, we actually set up an effective plan for AMP Ink, including goals; which would improve and be beneficial for their organization. We discussed taking a different route in order to attract the audience they want to have, including teenagers, young adults, and advocates that are passionate about helping their community. It is a new organization, therefore we had to figure out solutions to jumpstart AMP Ink, which going overboard with advertising and going over

  • Reflection On Stratsim Team Performance

    1129 Words  | 3 Pages

    From the beginning, our team worked collectively attempting to understand our industry, our competition, and how best to go to market with our brand and products. We focused on key areas of growth and product development. I felt we were able to really work well as a team, communicate with each other and express ideas and concerns openly without hesitation or fear. I do feel that we feel short on the communication piece though when things are being done outside of the classroom or work environment. Sometimes it seems as almost an out of sight out of mind type of situation. Our group didn’t not fight about a controlling interest when it came to decisions, primarily they were made by one of two members or what I would

  • Women’s Voices Open Mic Nights

    I had the distinct pleasure of contacting volunteers and writing the emails that were to be used for the tele-stars batch out request. Tele-stars were used to publicize the events to all the students and faculty through our WIU email accounts. I was also made to deliver the tele-stars batch out request forms with all the required signatures with a copy of the email with all the event information. It turned out to be a lot easier then I had originally thought. I’m not sure how I managed to get stuck doing all the communication jobs, but I enjoyed them. Janine supplied us with a list of volunteers who had expressed interest in helping with the coordination and planning of the Women’s Voices Open Mic Nights. This list turned out to be of no use for us. The volunteers never actually showed up for the work they had originally volunteered to help complete. We also used Facebook to publicize the event. We had several r...

    Working with Chase and Anita on this group project turned out to be a successful experience. Considering the fact that the two out of three of us are athletes with time consuming schedules, I believe we did a really acceptable job of staying on each of our tasks and completing our individual research. We discussed our reading assignments in advance and each agreed that the three of us would take responsibility for one out of the three books. This best worked for our group due to the fact that we had contradicting class schedules. At first, I thought that this would hinder our progress, but in the end we completed the task at hand and everything came together. We brought our work together and tied it all into one presentation, which in my opinion,

  • Homelessness Analysis

    One of our difficulties was merging two group ideas together. Jessica wanted to work with women who were just released from jail, and Anna and I wanted to work with veterans who had psychological issues after coming home from war. After meeting, we were able to brainstorm and combine our ideas to form an even better topic, homeless women and children. In building our video, we realized that each group member had their own strength. My strength was editing and rephrasing the paper we wrote to make it sound like a video. I was able to change an informational paper into a persuasive script. During this process, I struggled with keeping the other group members’ viewpoints in mind. This is where it would have been easier to work alone, but for the majority of the project having a group was extremely beneficial. Another issue I faced while recording the first time, I used one long recording, so when we went to revise the audio, I had to start from scratch. From this project, I learned that when using audio recordings, it is better to record in smaller

    We had to do 2 listing tasks. First we listed the most appropriate goals to govern the best developmental group experiences in order to maximize social development in a democratic society. This was hard, we spent much of the time trying to understand the meaning of what we were listing. There was much back and forth negotiation before we reached somewhat of a consensus. Every member was really engaged although a few members were more vocal and therefore driving the direction of the discussion. The second list was to name clubs and civic organizations. This was easily rattled off. Some of the members took on a bored attitude even disengaging and checking their phones there were more side conversations and joking around. The results of this activity spoke to the S and A in START

    We were a group of people with a vision working towards a common goal. The building of our team was complicated. We negotiated roles and tasks according to our strengths and interests. We worked well together, but far from perfect. Through varies conflicts ideas were exchanged and meaningful productivity resulted (Porter, 2003). Good communication resulted from trust and respect. All members shared an equal participation which made it easier for each individual to contribute to the success of Week 3.

  • Downward Communication Case Study

    2634 Words  | 6 Pages

    Kyle Marrero stated, “communication by itself without tactical outcomes does not work” (K.Marrero, personal communication, April 27, 2015). He understands that there can be an inadequacy to downward communication. In his vision for UWG he notes that an, “organization must foster an environment of upward communication” (K.Marrero, personal communication, April 27, 2015). In higher education there can be a culture where faculty and staff do not feel they can speak up. This is where inadequate communication can infect the overall organizational communication. For example, when someone asks a question that we didn’t quite hear we ask for clarification. However, this often does not come into play with a downward communication focused organization. Is a plan or action item is not communicated correctly or is not well defined, no one speaks up. One other negative impact of a downward system of communication may be reflected by Marrero when he said, “would rather complain than to solve” (K.Marrero, personal communication, April 27, 2015). Perhaps those in a lower level fail to care or feel connected when communication is primarily
