FIRST impact on Adults

[Al Skierkiewicz]

LeAnn,
The effect on my life has been surprising. The problem solving techniques I have picked up along the way have helped in many fascinating ways in my own job. I regularly surprise myself and my coworkers with quick solutions to problems that come directly from problems encountered on the team. The compressed schedule has trained me to change the way in which I prioritize tasks. The need to interact with other subteams has taught me better communication with others. Perhaps the best thing is the interaction and understanding needed to work with individuals of varying ages (chronological as well as emotional), temperments, skills and experience. Above all, I have found an entirely new resource in the professionals I meet from other teams. How cool is it to have friends in all parts of the country and the list grows longer each year?
