Yupiiii, great revelation :-)

During past few months I have been working a lot in different teams. Sometimes it was very nice, sometimes it was very annoying. It always depends on team members and their ability to get on with other people.

I always knew that I am not very creative person. And after so many team works I realized one thing. I am always willing to cooperate, but on the other hand, I am never the one with "wonderful and creative" ideas. I thought I might not be as smart as the others. And it bothered me a lot. I felt very uncomfortable.

During our last HR course we were talking about team roles and we got one test. And finally I realized that it is not that I am not as smart as the others. I have just different team role. I am "TEAM WORKER". What does it mean? Here is short explanation:

The "TEAM WORKER" is the team's harmoniser. His concern is for team unity and good spirit. He is aware of others' needs and worries, knows most about their private lives and family affairs, has the clearest perception of the emotional undercurrents in the team. Normally his/her contribution is not very visible. But when pressures threaten to disrupt the team, his loyalty, sympathy and support is invaluable. He/she tends to be extrovert and calm. He/she is the most sensitive member of the feelings of others. He is the most active internal communicator. Unassertive, a good listener, he/she builds on others' ideas rather than producing his/her own rival ideas. He dislikes confrontation and tries to avoid or defuse it. He/she is loyal to the team as a unit.

Hesitating

Should I stay or should I go???

Happy in Prague :-)

Unbelievable... Yesterday, after the whole week of running around I realized that I am happy again, that I enjoy my being back and that actually, there are so many good things happening now. There is a lot of work ahead and April will be probably one of the toughest months of the whole studies so far. But it is really good. I realized that I enjoy my studies MUCH MUCH more than before. I like going to all classes and lectures and I really attend the university regularly. Comparing to my Bachelor studies, this is totally new feeling for me :-))

Moreover, I have met so many nice people since I came back. I really hope that we will get to know each other better and have a good time all together.

And I like my ballet classes and ceramics course :-)

Oh, I like being back here!!!

CEMS Business project in L'OREAL

Today we have officially started our CEMS Business project in L'OREAL. We had the first meeting at the company with the director of the Professional division. It was definitely interesting. We fixed meetings for the rest of the semester and he provided us with short introduction. It looks like real thing. They are launching new brand in September and we are supposed to do the marketing research. A lot of work ahead. Which is not really surprising as it counts for 15 ECTS credits at our university.

At the end, he asked us about the brand that we use for our hair. I felt a bit uncomfortable about discussing this with him. But the result of this discussion was that we got L'OREAL products for our type of hair (I think I have enough shampoo and different hair care products for the rest of the year heh :-))

Concerning CEMS Business Projects there are seven or eight teams working with different companies in Prague. Some of them are really demanding and time consuming (the team cooperating with McKinsey is supposed to spend 15 hours per week working on the project!!!). In the end, I think our project could be useful for me in order to find out, if marketing is the right thing for me :-))

Disorganization

No idea, what is happening to me. I am completely disorganized. I should use more my agenda and take notes of everything I would like to do and especially, promised to do.

1st proof: Yesterday my classes were starting at 11am. No idea how it could happen, but I was persuaded that the beginning is at 9:15. I came to my class, looked around, wondering, how come there were no familiar faces. I thought they might come later, and it is normal, there are some new people in the class (in the 5th week of classes, really stupid idea). Fortunately, friend of mine was there, he came to me and told me that I am probably in a bad class. Surprised, I checked the number of the room. It was ok. BUT the time was not... So I took my stuff and left. Heh...in five years at the university, this never happened to me. I think it never in my life happened to me.

2nd proof: I promised to Janka to prepare paté chinois with her on Sunday. Then, another Janka called me and I promised her to go for a trip with her on Sunday. Afterwards, I realized that I have test and pre-case study and some homework due the following week. Just total mess. I should stay home and study.

3rd proof: This is mostly proof of the total mess in my head heh Nice guy (room mate of a friend of mine) invited me for a coffee. Instead of accepting his offer, I told him I have to finish some stuff (which was obvious lie as it was just 4th week of school and there are no urgent homework to do). Unbelievable, I have no idea why I refused in that moment heh

I should work on my time-management and my self-organization. Otherwise, I will be complete mess for the rest of the semester heh Well, will be again in a shape soon :-))
