LO: 1
This meeting with the service group was spent planning for our upcoming sessions with the members by doing a SWOT analysis, to ensure that our first session with the members would have few complications. All of the students involved in the service were placed in different groups, each group spending a certain amount of time brainstorming the current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that we were currently facing. We found that many of our strengths revolved around our traits as individuals and as a group, some of the main ones being our diversity as a group and how welcoming we were. Weaknesses that we were able to identify were the possible language barriers and age differences between the students and the members, as this would make connecting with them and building relationships slightly more difficult. However, we also saw our ability to form relationships with them as an opportunity, as we would be able to better communicate with the members and improve their time spent with us. Certain threats were also noted such as the risk of giving personal details and referring to them as anything other than members, as these two things may cause numerous problems later on.
A leadership role that I would like to take on is the role of the logistics officer. Being the logistics officer is an important role that is vital in ensuring the service has all the necessary resources and is able to run smoothly. I believe that I have the proper skill set to be an effective logistics officer and I think that I would be able to aid the service group the most in this position. If I were to take up this position I would also be able to develop my organization skills due to the numerous responsibilities of the logistics officer. I would prefer to occupy this position from November to December of 2018, as I believe that I will be able to fully dedicate myself to this role during that time period.
