"I was recently involved with a project that required 30 hours of work over two weeks while I was in the middle of several other projects. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, I dove right into the project. I made a to-do list and mapped out the deliverables day by day with associated deadlines. I prioritized tasks by how crucial they were and spent the first few hours of my day knocking out those particularly high-impact items. I completed the project by the deadline, and upper-level management even reached out to commend me for completing such a lofty project in a short time."

"Last week, I was asked to lead our team while our manager was away. I created a checklist of tasks that needed to be completed to reach our deadlines. I gathered the team to discuss our goals and asked for input and ideas to get us there. It was a great experience. I was able to exercise my leadership capabilities, and I learned more about my team members and reflected on my goals for professional growth."
