Problem

In 2023, my employer launched an internal qualification program designed to deepen participants’ project management skills. The program required participants to work in small teams, complete multi-month assignments, meet strict milestones, and deliver high-quality project work. Our team needed clear coordination, consistent communication, and reliable leadership to stay aligned and finish successfully.

As the elected team leader and coordinator, I took responsibility for guiding the team through the program’s structure and expectations:

• Communicated all program updates, deadlines, and milestones from leadership to the team.
• Facilitated alignment by making sure each team member understood their responsibilities and the timing of deliverables.
• Supported teammates by offering feedback, answering questions, and helping them troubleshoot obstacles—without taking over their work.
• Encouraged accountability and motivation throughout the multi-month process.
• Ensured the team stayed organized, on schedule, and prepared for each checkpoint with the program organizers.

Result

Our team delivered all required project work on time and to a high standard, successfully completing the qualification program. This experience strengthened my leadership, communication, and coordination abilities—reinforcing my ability to guide a group through structured milestones while fostering ownership, clarity, and collaboration.
