Motivation is something that I feel our group does well however. Both as an individual and, myself as a part of the group uses many motivational tactics to ensure that we stay motivated and actually get work done. Sometimes it’s a bit disheartening to push aside a project we have been working on for a while and pivot into a new direction, however, we normally bounce back from this pretty quick and ensure we have the motivation to continue on the new project. I keep myself motivated because it’s my company, and I really do find we have a sense of meaningfulness. A sense of choice is given because each person has the choice of how they want to do their part of the game., a sense of competence and a sense of progress are both given by using checks, …show more content…

Although, in Subwolfer Studios it’s not much of a problem, it is a problem sometimes in other groups and sometimes I allow myself to get passed up and don’t have the opportunity to put in my own opinions. So, in an attempt to correct this, I need to really start attempting to speak up quicker and not wait to the point where I miss my turn to speak. Secondly, I do need to work on ensuring that when I speak in a group I am not using abstract words, or otherwise phrasing things so that the other group members and I will end up bypassing each other on meanings. There are angles that I really want to approach this from. First off, I want to be sure I’m using concrete terms that all have a definite meaning, and secondly I want to make sure when other members of my group us abstract terms, I’m questioning them on what they mean so we can all remain on the same

Moreover, my accent did not help matters either since it hampered how I articulated the information that was being conveyed. I used this feedback positively to ensure that I work on this aspect to make sure that I improve on it.…
