I choose to include is Project One. In this project we explored conformity and its effect on a group. This has contributed to my learning as it has strengthened my awareness of how conformity can negatively impact a group. It hinders DEI, and it is important for all group members to be aware of this. Reflecting on my own experiences allowed me to have a better understanding of how I can address when conformity is having a negative impact. This directly applies to the programmatic theme of career connections. Going forward, I will work with others in groups to solve problems at times we must conform to address them. This newfound knowledge will allow me to do this while respecting others individuality.

I choose to include is Project Two. I choose to include this project we explored how implicit bias and stereotypes threaten diversity, equity, and inclusion. As well as how a growth mindset can combat this. This added to my learning experience as I am more mindful of my actions. We might be aware of our own biases. Practicing mindfulness will take into consideration others and how we can make them feel respected and included. Reflecting on how to overcome and be aware of bias has allowed me to take steps in my own life. This project applies to the programmatic theme of emotional intelligence and career connections. Being able to understand others' emotions will allow us to react in a respectful inclusive manner. Also having a growth mindset in the workplace is a vaulabe skill and helps you contribute to a healthy work environment.
