Decisions have consequences. That¡¯s easy to understand. What¡¯s harder is anticipating and responding to the consequences that are more hidden. This week, Proxima scenarios will include ¡°hidden benefits¡± ¡ª but are they worth the cost of investigation? It¡¯s something teams will have to navigate and discuss.

| TEAMWORK ANALYSIS |
You¡¯ve been around Synthesis Teams for a while, so you know that good teamwork means more than just participating in the game and communicating with your teammates.
It involves cooperative planning, coordinating roles, and shared decision-making. It¡¯s about including everyone and checking in on progress toward the team¡¯s goals.
This month, we¡¯ll take a closer look at these important aspects of teamwork as we examine your goal-oriented collaboration skills.
Chenjun, here's what we observed about your teamwork skills during recent game sessions: You consistently showed a willingness to contribute, as seen in remarks like "Let me do it," and "I'll get it myself," reflecting initiative and readiness to take action. Your ability to suggest ideas, such as "Let's choose the other map," and assign roles by saying, "Who wants to build batteries and cannonball?" demonstrates a strong potential for leadership in setting and organizing team strategies. One way to grow even more is by focusing on actively participating in strategic planning and shared decision-making. Although you took the initiative in some tasks, incorporating teammates' ideas and collaboratively setting team goals might enhance overall effectiveness. Why is this important? Incorporating team input helps ensure everyone is aligned, making it easier to achieve your shared objectives. Keep up your enthusiasm and work towards these growth areas for even greater teamwork success!

| COMMUNICATION METRICS |
On your journey to make any team you join better, you'll practice how to effectively communicate with everyone. Our Discussion sessions are carefully designed to provide opportunities for you to practice these critical communication skills in various ways.
Last week's theme was "Supercollaborator Training." To graduate as a Supercollaborator is the highest honor at Synthesis. After a final interview, students receive a personal letter of recommendation from our co-founders to bring to any job interview or school application. It¡¯s not easy ¡ª consider it a black belt in collaborative problem-solving. Last week was a training session: six scenarios from the world of Synthesis. How would a supercollaborator work through them?
No right or wrong answers; just interesting conversations with kids from around the world.

Reflection for Chenjun: How does your speaking % compare to others in your group?
| COMMUNICATION ANALYSIS |
Chenjun, here¡¯s what we noticed about your communication during last week¡¯s Discussion session: You did a great job affirming your teammates' ideas with phrases like "Yeah, I agree," which shows you are attentive and supportive. One way you could keep building your skills is by sharing more detailed thoughts when you agree with someone. For example, after saying "Yeah, maybe. Definitely," you might add why you feel that way or ask a question to encourage more discussion. Remembering to use your teammates' names when you respond can make your contributions even stronger and help everyone feel more connected. Keep up the great work and keep supporting your teammates!
Anyone who's on the path toward becoming a Supercollaborator is able to keep improving their skills and making course corrections. We look forward to seeing you at future sessions, and we'll continue giving you feedback on your teamwork and communication skills.
