For our last challenge of the Adventure Semester, Midge and I were challenged to… Wait. No. We didn’t know what our challenge was. Let’s start over.

Our challenge today was to be vulnerable. We opened ourselves to the (sometimes tough) feedback from our group under the facilitation of Ari and Marian.

As has been noted in previous blog posts and videos, our group this week has been experiencing some communication problems. We’ve all been hearing about Dev’s challenge, and we knew that this one would help us with communication skills. In fact, the challenge today did exactly that. In the morning we met up and took […]
