Year-End Review

Q3 and Q4 Accomplishments

In experiential learning, the actual learning often comes after the work when one has the

chance to reflect upon what he or she has experienced or learned. Self-reflection is an important

aspect of learning, although it is not a novel idea. Reflecting on one’s actions and concrete

experiences often leads individuals to recognize that their experiences have created new ways of

perceiving learned theory. I have learned so much this year to be a good manager to the team,

especially my training techniques and communication with each team member. I was involved in

decision-making and improvement towards to each person’s growth and productivity. The

amount of effort, training, and leadership I put into making the team successful from day-to-day

day requests to this year’s firm conferences were my focus and goal setting to be an effective

manger.

Some of the accomplishments and contribution include slide library file, TSSP offsite and

new TSSP logos, training, LP conference, department’s workflow guide and outlook signatures,

as well as software research and beta testing.

Slide Library Files

With regard to slide library files, besides the continuous update of the firm’s template

slide library files, I included some of the changes suggested by the team to make their tasks

easier.

TSSP Offsite and New TSSP Logos

For the TSSP Offsite and New TSSP logos, I took initiative to work with Cindy in TSSP

to create and update the TSSP new branding logos (16 logos) to incorporate them to the offsite

presentations and outlook signature. I also updated these in the slide library and logos folder for

easy access for the team.

Training

Training was tailored from needs assessments to customized courses on Lynda.com and

was both innovative and hands-on. Exercises and assessments files were intended to measure

one’s improvement level and skill set with live request practices, mentoring, formatting

knowledge, and best practices. One-on-One training in the conference and review sessions also

gave trainee the privacy to address any questions and concerns they might have had. Elearning

training courses on Lynda.com were carefully chosen and customized to improve the team’s

knowledge of the software that is in use in the department.

LP Conference

This year was largely a successful one for the LP conference. Measuring the success of

any event is a critical yet overwhelming task. However, it is worth noting that attendance is an

excellent way of gauging the success of an event such as a conference, and attendees constitute a

vital component. This year’s LP conference can be termed as a success not only because many

preparations were in place prior to the conference, but also because the selection of the right

team members for the Graphics’ TEE and GTT team was accomplished. There was also active

communications to the TEE and GTT team to manage expectations, the project was managed

from pre- and post-conference to make sure everything ran smoothly, met deadlines, and clients

were satisfied.

During on-site, it was my duty to manage the project and supervise every aspect of the

GTT requests from concept through completion. Even though there is always room for

improvement, I was happy with the overall performance the team and its contribution to this

year’s LP conference. Feedback were positive and additional info helped me in accessing

training needs to be developed to help individuals to accomplish their goals and objectives for

upcoming ARR and Real Estate investors meeting.

Department’s Workflow Guide and Outlook Signatures

I accomplished the department’s workflow guide and outlook signatures in the process of

updating department material for the team to use for reference.

Software research and Beta Testing

In addition to project management and training, I also performed software research and

beta testing for new software applications and development for different departments. The

Growth department requested to have a tool to help to display pictures in slideshow format that

loops with transitions and continue to run on their two monitors for Windows. After testing ten

image viewing software, one software was found to perform this task and it supported an

extensive list of formats with very low system resources requirements. The Graphics Department

research and initial QA tested five font management programs that the Graphics team could use

without needed to have IT install the fonts on their computer. They found one that was best

suitable the graphics team and was ready to implement to the team. The IT department was to

make certain the firm’s conversion macro and template were working on new laptops with new

Windows 10 and 2016 PowerPoint. The IT staff completed testing on two laptops and is

currently working on testing on the latest laptop that soon will roll out to the entire firm.

Strengths and Areas for Development

The intention is to continue improving the project management techniques to manage

department’s complex initiatives and recommendations in a manner that is more effective.

Training Needs

Some of the training needs that have been identified include:

A) Working on elearning courses on Lynda.com to become an effective leader and

communicator, as well as giving and receiving feedback.

B) Working continuously on adding more add-ins and shortcuts to the PowerPoint software

to simplify presentation formatting needs. This will require time, research, and self-

training if it is to be successful.

Career Interests

Career interests are a reflection of an individual’s preferences for certain kinds of work

and work environments. In this regard, aligning one’s interests with the requisite work

environment not only leads to increased job satisfaction, but also a higher likelihood for attaining

career success. My career interest is to reach the next level of project management with PMP.

This is informed by the fact that certification creates better project managers and that projects

manned by certified managers are likely to succeed compared to those without PMPs. There has

been a growth in the number of trained project managers because clients are demanding to have

them on their projects. Attaining certification in project management will indicate that I possess

some level of expertise and knowledge, and that I am able to work competently in a project

environment.
