“WISE FORETHOUGHT CAN REMOVE OBSTACLES BEFORE THEY APPEAR” Portion of July 7, 2013 To my surprise, I received an e-mail from Shyra stating that she changed the name of the “Advocates of Hope” incentive program to “CASA for Children Incentive Program to keep the branding of the organization”. I was surprised, disappointed, confused, upset, calm and finally understanding. I went through all these emotions because I did not receive any stipulations when given the project. I understand the significance of keeping with the branding so I have now come to terms with the name change. I think one of the emotions that I experienced was upset because she did not give me the branding guideline from the beginning. As I am learning to think more and more like an executive director, I am also being mindful of how I can enrich an intern’s experience. When I give a special project to an intern I will be clear of the expectations and guidelines.
