In the 2013/2014 school year, I have learnt many things about leadership. My communication skills have seen the biggest improvement so far. I have expanded my network by joining a peer program that deals with career development and student involvement. While reviewing what I have accomplished this year, and what I still have to work on, I realized that majority of my social interactions in the past 3 years have been with a specific demographic of the population. UBC is a big university with thousands of active students and staff present everyday, however, it is safe to say that majority of individuals on campus have acquired a certain level of education that may not necessarily represent the rest of the population in Vancouver. All the skills I have gained and learned so far have worked really well in a university setting, but I have never applied them with a population that spends majority of its time outside an academic atmosphere. I was recently wondering how effective would these skills be when working with a different age demographic, or different backgrounds. Would they work in an environment where is work is mostly physical (e.g. construction)? To be honest, I am not sure. I have not had the chance this year to test this out, but over this summer I am looking forward to see the results. I expect some differences and some similarities. I believe it is very important to develop the skills to communicate with different populations to achieve true appreciation of individuality.
