Week 4 was the week where everything that we've worked so hard to build as a team broke down. There was tension in the group, people were frustrated by the confusion in the process, some of us lost our energy and drive from the earlier weeks, and I could see even Per was not his usual motivated self.
What started out as earnest discussions between some of the boys and Per turned into a point of contention. Looking back now, maybe some of these discussions that we've had were more counter-productive than anything as it got some of us on the same page but maybe left out the girls in getting everyone up to speed.
Personally, it was really hard for me to reflect on that week. I tried not to take sides and remain impartial, but that can come across sometimes as me not having an opinion or not having a stand. I try to avoid conflicts as I feel it is even more critical that we listen to each other's frustrations and try to find common ground and what is it that we agree on during conflicts. Or we face the risk of losing people along this journey that we're all embarking on together.
But maybe that's just me. :)
