While recording the video last Wednesday, I was a bit conscious. Being aware of the situation that whatever happens during the video will be watched afterwards, I did my best to look appropriate. I felt that this circumstance led me to deviate some of my focus from the topic at hand. During the first few minutes, this was the case. After a short while, I felt that the discussion became more natural and it seemed that things were falling into the right places.
While watching the video, I was amused. That is me!?! Hahas! One major action that I noticed myself doing was smiling which I did a lot during the meeting. It was even accompanied by a few laughs here and there. This might have caused distractions for my team mates. Everything else looks fine. My thoughts during the recording of the video did not really show in my actual actions.
Regarding the role that I played in the meeting, I feel that I satisfactorily carried out my job as the team leader. I found it challenging to start the meeting, though. It was like starting a fire with the use of wooden sticks and dry leaves. I had to heat it up first to obtain a burning exchange of ideas. Throughout the meeting, I knew that I was able to hold everyone to focus towards the things that the team had to discuss and finish debating about. A few sidetracking moments were successfully put back into place.
After reviewing the video, I strongly believe that our team did an excellent job for this particular meeting. It was efficient and effective. Everyone was prompt for the meeting and brought everything that was required of them. Everyone had their share of ideas. While the meeting did not take too much time to finish, from analyzing the problem to the laying down of groundwork for the solution and the writing of the final proposal, everything was successfully discussed during the meeting. Every item on the agenda was successfully resolved.
A job well-done, team mates! Thank you!
