How will your project change or improve your leadership capacities with MU Extension?

To first address this question, I looked back at my Herrmann Whole Brain Model.

• I need to work more in the D Quadrant.
• I need to be more of a risk-taker, look more at the big picture and the future, be more innovative, look at long-term objectives, and other unusual possibilities.
• This project was something that had not be done before, so I had nothing previous to base this on. I had to be creative and innovative to develop something new.
• This project was a risk, because not everyone cares or buys into wellness. I knew that not everyone would participate.
• I had to look at the big picture of wellness. I tend to just think about physical activity and nutrition, but wellness is so much more than that.
• This project was not organized in the way that I enjoy organization. It was difficult to sort out all the pieces.
• I had to take everyone's suggestions into consideration, even if some seemed unusual or strange, during the input and feedback surveys.
• There was some criticism, but I had to learn to roll with the punches and not take it personally (that's my C Quadrant).
• One thing that remains is to look at some more long-term objectives for SC wellness.
