Engagement in my work sounds like

Lucas Sharron (Milesplit NY)

Diversity and Inclusion

I will help others on my team grow by

Letting them contribute their own skills to the team

Not being harsh on a mistake

It happens and we are all human

I will create open and safe environments by

Advocating for those on my team

Letting others know I will listen to them

Not speaking over others

I will help coworkers feel valued by

Letting them know I am looking up to them

Asking for advice on how to do something better

Letting them know when they did something good

I will promote fairness and respect by

Acknowledging my own biases and privileges

Telling people when they did something good for me or the team as a whole

Listening to others no matter their "rank" on the team

I will be an advocate by diversity by

Making sure I am keeping a positive attitude towards my work and my coworkers

Making sure everyone is heard

Acknowledging and everyone brings something to the table and I can learn new things from everyone

To me being engaged in my work means

Being creative

Caring about what I'm writing about

Focusing

Organization

The missions of organizations I work for or lead should include

To learn and grow from mistakes if made

To be the best at what they do no matter what it is

Something about a positive outlook on the community

Examples of organizations that may meet my expectations for engagement and belonging include

Milesplit/FloTrack

Nazareth College

The organization that I work for will impact the community by

Providing resources to whatever stats they would like about a local runner

Allowing them to interact with our website

Values for the organization I work for should include

Trust that whoever is publishing an article or some sort of media that it is good

Creativeness

Teamwork

Values

Understanding

Hard work

Respect

Listen to others

Skills

Talking about running

Pretty much what I wrote in the writing section of this but talking about running can be pretty tough, since it may seem like there isn't much to it, when there is a lot to talk about.

Leader

I like to think I can speak up when needed, but not sound overly critical of others when doing it.

Camera and video work

This is also another thing I had to do a lot with Milesplit and since Milesplit is such a huge organization, they can get easily critiqued on things like this. I think I take very good photo and videos and everyone at the company told me the same thing

Writing

I had to write a few articles for Milesplit about certain teams and making whatever you are talking about sound interesting can be tough at times, so I pride myself on making running sound interesting for even non-runners

Interviewing

I had to do interviews with Milesplit and interviewing people seems a lot easier than it is. You have to form questions pretty quick on the spot and sometimes it can be overwhelming.

Tasks and Projects

Do whatever is asked of me to the best of my ability

Multiple previews of meets

Make the meet sound exciting

A lot of work, seeing who was in what race and who would be good

VVS and McQuaid coverage

Film all of the races

Interview runners after their race wins

Monroe County champs coverage

Took photos of all the races

Wrote an article talking about the meet and what happened

Monroe-Woodbury article

I also had to do research of their times from previous races and previous years

I had to take their answers and make an article out of it

I had to interview their top 2 runners and their coach over zoom

Fairport article

I had to make an article out of their answers

I interviewed their top three runners about their season and their goals

To me sense of belonging at work is

Ready for whatever is next

A feeling of wanting to go to work

Sometimes people do not want to go to work because of who works there. I feel like you should not feel like this if you feel wanted there

Feeling respected by others

Relationships

Professional organizations in my field that I could join include

New Generation Track and Field

Flotrack

Milesplit

I will proactively build relationships by

Making an effort to get to know people as friends, not just coworkers

Asking for advice from others on how to be better at my job

Getting out of my comfort zone with tasks

I had to do this a few times with the interviews I gave

I would like to collaborate with people who value

Working hard to be the best

Others values

Others opinions

When collaborating with others, I will bring the following skills, traits or perspectives

Openness

Willingness to learn from others

A positive attitude to working

I would like to work with people who are passionate about

Challenging themselves

Being the best at what they do

The same things I am
