LIST OF ROLES:

o Connector/Networker: Always know someone or something related to what you are talking about and connects you/provides an initial resource

o Challenger/Devil’s Advocate: This person always asks why, what is our proof, how is that different, etc. Though at times than can seem abrasive or judgmental, they help us refine our thoughts, and always have a good reason for their counterpoints.

o Cheerleader: Believes in you when you struggle to believe in yourself & Always encourages/shares excitement for your latest project

o Innovator/Dreamer: More than an active listener, or encourager, this person is always fueling more ideas with their constant creativity. They aren’t usually as concerned with the day-to-day but are always looking ahead into the future, strategizing for new ideas and pushing you for opportunities others may overlook

o Mentor/Coach: Points you in the right direction when you’re feeling lost and takes you out of your comfort zone so you can maximize your potential and make things happen

o Peer: NOT A CLOSE FRIEND! A colleague or co-worker who provides accountability to keep you focused on the task before you

o Problem Solver: Thrives on adversity and times of crisis. Problem-solvers help us to see the glass as half-full where others see it empty. They look at the potential opportunity in a situation, rather than focus on the negative.

o Researcher / Synthesizer: This person loves making spreadsheets and exhausting all options before making a decision. They help us to see more than a binary choice and enjoy researching questions we feel stumped on.

For our first episode, we wanted to give our listeners a bit of a window into learning a little bit more about Vos Fellowship, and also introduce ourselves at the Vos Vignettes Podcast.
