1. In what work does Celeste excel? Do you have concrete examples of her knocking it out of the park? Celeste is phenomenal at projecting enthusiasm and translating that into an authentic dialogue. In any setting, she brings an infectious spirit that welcomes others into conversation and is additionally mindful to regularly encourage them to maintain their involvement. Her lecture regarding voter registration is what comes to mind most prominently. With a small group of people, she excelled at being consistently engaging while being informative. She periodically reinforced the topics she covered with her own personal experiences to exemplify their importance in a way that is relevant to the audience. She then also made a point to address each individual multiple times to check in with their comprehension and invite them to add their thoughts. Her interaction with the audience and insistence that the audience interacted with one another in exercises allowed her to establish a very safe and open room where everyone felt comfortable speaking. 2. Where, if at all, do you think Celeste could further grow in order to succeed in her current work? She can sometimes jump around from topics without a cohesive transition or get lost in the abundance of information shes trying to cover. Ive seen her work most effectively when shes working alongside some form of outlined structure. Id suggest that she use these more routinely to ensure that shes hitting the notes she needs at their most relevant points and controls their impact so that she doesnt risk jumping around and losing any specific train of thought or inadvertently minimize anything of importance. 3. Do you have any suggestions regarding professional development opportunities for Celeste? Stay fab. <3 4. Are there little things that she does that you value? Are there little things that she does that are problematic for you or your work? I greatly admire how open she is as a person. She carries herself with an authenticity that is so strong, beautiful, and magnetic. Ive never seen Celeste shy away from any conversation about the various struggles or insecurities in her life, and its impossible to not be in awe of that courage in sense of self. More tangibly, shes the best at day-of reminders. I can sometimes slack at checking my calendar for prior commitments on days, and shes been such a
lifesaver sending texts to check in. A+ accountability reinforcement.
I also appreciate that she begins her events by taking a brief moment to provide an overview and allow meet/greets to build a comfortable understanding of whats expected before entering the fray. Shes always felt very receptive to the opinions of others; I cant think of an instance when Ive been made uncomfortable with any of her actions.
