As discussed in the first meeting HANxIDEXX, Matthijs (company coach) and Nikos (supervisor) agreed to give Ha's permission to use AI for grammar check or research. They recommended that Ha use AI thoughtfully to protect IDEXX’s confidential information.

Paraphrase: An entrepreneurial mindset goes beyond personal gain, it involves creating meaningful value for others and contributing to the success of the organization as a whole (Murphy, 2019). By assisting with event coordination and completing operational tasks such as designing visuals or setting up email distributions, I supported my team’s workflow and enhanced overall efficiency, ultimately helping the company as a whole since every team within an organization adds its own essential value to the company’s overall achievements (HR Future Magazine, 2025). While these tasks may appear minor, they played a vital role in achieving larger business objectives, demonstrating that even small contributions can drive strategic outcomes. Specifically, before starting at IDEXX, I believed event management was relatively simple, based on my previous experiences organizing school events. However, my perspective quickly changed when Marta candidly said, “Managing events is a mess,” which made me realize how complex and detail-oriented the process truly is. She explained numerous small yet essential support tasks to ensure the success of the entire event. I learned that the foundation of effective event coordination starts with staying organized - particularly by using the MASTER template to keep track of all moving parts.

An entrepreneurial mindset goes beyond personal gain—it involves creating meaningful value for others and contributing to the success of the organization as a whole (Murphy, 2019). At IDEXX, I embraced this mindset by assisting with event coordination and handling operational tasks such as designing visuals and setting up email distributions. These actions supported my team’s workflow and improved overall efficiency, ultimately contributing to broader company goals. As every team within an organization plays a critical role in its overall success (HR Future Magazine, 2025), even these seemingly minor tasks helped drive strategic outcomes. Initially, I underestimated the complexity of event management, drawing from my experiences organizing school events. However, my understanding shifted when Marta candidly told me, “Managing events is a mess.” She helped me recognize that successful event planning relies on countless small, behind-the-scenes efforts. One key takeaway was the importance of organization—specifically, using the MASTER template to track every moving part of an event. This experience deepened my appreciation for the detailed planning required and showed how even small contributions can make a meaningful impact when aligned with a larger organizational goal.
