Lucas Sharron (Milesplit NY)
Relationships
I would like to work with people who are passionate about
The same things I am
Being the best at what they do
Challenging themselves
When collaborating with others, I will bring the following
skills, traits or perspectives
A positive attitude to working
Willingness to learn from others
Openness
I would like to collaborate with people who value
Others opinions
Others values
Working hard to be the best
I will proactively build relationships by
Getting out of my comfort zone with tasks
I had to do this a few times with the interviews I gave
Asking for advice from others on how to be better
at my job
Making an effort to get to know people as friends,
not just coworkers
Professional organizations in my field that I could
join include
Milesplit
Flotrack
New Generation Track and Field
To me sense of belonging at work is
Feeling respected by others
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
Ready for whatever is next
Tasks and Projects
Fairport article
I interviewed their top three runners about their season and their goals
I had to make an article out of their answers
Monroe-Woodbury article
I had to interview their top 2 runners and their coach over zoom
I had to take their answers and make an article out of it
I also had to do research of their times from previous races and previous years
Monroe County champs coverage
Wrote an article talking about the meet and what happened
Took photos of all the races
VVS and McQuaid coverage
Interview runners after their race wins
Film all of the races
Multiple previews of meets
A lot of work, seeing who was in what race and who would be good
Make the meet sound exciting
Do whatever is asked of me to the best of my ability
Skills
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.
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
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
Leader
I like to think I can speak up when needed, but not sound
overly critical of others when doing it.
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.
Values
Listen to others
Respect
Hard work
Understanding
Organization
Values for the organization I work for should include
Teamwork
Creativeness
Trust
Trust that whoever is publishing an article
or some sort of media that it is good
The organization that I work for will impact the community by
Making sure that the running community gets
to hear about what is going on
We provide stats and previews for multiple
races and sections
Allowing them to interact with our website
Providing resources to whatever stats they would like
about a local runner
Examples of organizations that may meet my expectations
for engagement and belonging include
Nazareth College
Milesplit/FloTrack
Manchester City FC
The missions of organizations I work for or lead
should include
Something about a positive outlook on the community
To be the best at what they do no matter what it is
To learn and grow from mistakes if made
To me being engaged in my work means
Focusing
Caring about what I'm writing about
Being creative
Diversity and Inclusion
I will be an advocate by diversity by
Acknowledging and everyone brings something to the table
and I can learn new things from everyone
Making sure everyone is heard
Making sure I am keeping a positive attitude towards
my work and my coworkers
I will promote fairness and respect by
Listening to others no matter their "rank" on the team
Telling people when they did something good for
me or the team as a whole
Acknowledging my own biases and privileges
I will help coworkers feel valued by
Letting them know when they did something good
Asking for advice on how to do something better
Letting them know I am looking up to them
I will create open and safe environments by
Not speaking over others
Letting others know I will listen to them
Advocating for those on my team
I will help others on my team grow by
Not being harsh on a mistake
It happens and we are all human
Letting them contribute their own skills
to the team
