Reflection on Internship up to this point:
Things I am learning:

- Sociological/Psychological aspects of meetings and partnerships
- Recognizing what each party needs from a partnership, and how meetings can facilitate opportunities to cater to those.
- Using clear thinking that I currently have as an outside observer to see how I can apply new thinking to my own projects back home.
- Recognizing what each party needs from a partnership, and how meetings can facilitate opportunities to cater to those.
- Discerning what tasks are important and more importantly , which aren't
- Recently, working on getting out the "box" perspective I have been approaching work with
- Separating work and passions/big ideas, where they should be one and the same

What I think I/We can do better:
- Ask more questions
- Communicate schedule better- what meetings coming up, so can do more research beforehand- that way able to participate more in meetings
- More personal challenges could be something to look at
- PR stuff has been good, enjoying that
- Maybe more work with Jeanette?

Other Business/Concerns/Ideas:
- CM website concerns
- Gaps, like CP Society meeting
- Marketing- probably going to need more methods for interactive participation generation (Though not too familiar myself with the virtual community as an effective model- beyond facebook)
- Any Partners we could look into?

- Also, something I would like to work on is a Visual Representation of Diversityworks, Diversityworks trust, and all the people, orgs, etc involved in current initiatives
- I think could really benefit understanding organization and with defining a bit more if the organizations identity in the end- make things smoother- (mag example).
- Also could tie into developmental evaluation in that the MISSION needs to be clear, and visually, the relationships may be a key way to measure effectiveness of new programs.

Break:
- Reading
- Wellington Promotion?
- Applying learning to start planning my activities back home

- Defining my role and tasks a bit to plan for next year
- Coming up with game plans
Meeting with Philip, 3 April 2009:
Try running some meetings- throw into deep end (with a life raft)
Go to Philip for 5 min catch up meetings for daily tasks etc
Planning target and objectives- AGENDA
Mailing list- next communication- give feedback - survey?…objectives…why doing it...working towards…do you think we have it? …what do you think we should add...
Half responding to opportunity- need and demand
Half creating opportunity and demand
Kind of what momentum 09 doing…peer support
Lecture could have business aspect…people come and talk
WISE species model
Be more assertive in what doing….say by the end do this …..interview everyone about what want for company
Mapping out company- wants- needs-
Making Mission ….Framework to keep thinking about
Not stepping on anyone's toes
Practice having idea as good as others….good idea, what about this
Mission
About thinking, the way we think about things….changing that
Highlighting "stupidity" sometimes in thinking
Thinking can create the problems rather than fix it or finding way to fix it.
Some sub conscious psychological need to have problems
