Personal Thank You

I want to take the time and thank all my colleagues for their support throughout the class. I enjoyed learning about your communication experiences, and how you over came communication roadblocks. I know the knowledge we learned in this class will be successful as we continue on this journey and in our professional lives. I wish nothing but the best for you! Good luck!

Adjourning

The last stage of team development, is adjourning. I think groups that are high-performing and have the clearest established morns are the hardest to leave because you all worked so hard together to achieve the goal and probably became pretty close to each other in the process. I remember in high school I was a part of the FCCLA student organization. I became great friends with many of the girls in the group, and some are still my best friends today. My senior year in high school, most of my friends and I were the officers. At our end of the year awards banquet, we always have a ceremony where the officers hand over their position to the newly elected officers. It was a bittersweet good-bye because the organization taught me so much, and I was leaving some friends behind when I went off to college, but it was nice knowing I helped build the successful group, and we were handing over the reigns to a new group of officers/leaders.

I feel I have gotten to know a lot of my colleagues throughout this journey. Some I have been with since I started this journey. Its nice knowing that I am not alone in this journey, and have colleagues to help me and support me through this journey. I will owe a huge thank you to everyone at the conclusion of this program because you all have taught me numerous of different things in many different ways, and have made me a better person. Overall, I think adjourning is essential stage in teamwork because we all get a chance to say thank you for all the work we have done, and for the help we gave and received.
