Week 3: Kelsey Schweibert

As related to my example used in discussion for this week, a dog sled team. There are so many different parts of a dog sled team that must come together for a perfect race, however, with Mother Nature there can be unforeseen circumstances that could throw the race. It is up to the team to work together to make up for potentially lost time. Teams are about a network of people using their skills to make for the best outcome, but there is always potential for mistakes, working together as a cohesive unit is important. It is a network of coming together to achieve a common goal.

Another metaphor that I thought of for the Making Change approach to change, was working out. The making change approach is about staying in control and pushing for what outcome is desired. It is about fixing broken parts, creating long term goals, and a complete sense of control over all people and aspects of the project. Much like working out. It takes someone to come to the conclusion that they want to make a change to their health, from there they are in control of their weight-loss destiny. It is up to them to set their goals, whether it be with diet and or exercise, and sticking with it for the long haul...not letting cravings or laziness stop them, being in control of all aspects. Weight loss doesn't come over night, it's a process.
