Adjourning

As the saying goes, " team work makes the dream work." There are so many entities that go toward making a team perfect. There are many stages they may be difficult like the ones prior to adjourning. However, I believe adjourning is one to  show strengths and weaknesses.  I feel that when you benefit from a group of people, when the moment comes, it will be a hard one to process. Adjourning allows you to have the opportunity to tell others how you benefited from your time together.

From my colleagues, I feel like I have learned a lot from the post and differences of opinions that you all have provided. I am happy to have the opportunity to work with people who share the same common goal as I do, caring for children in the field of education. Thank you all for your thorough posts and opinions, it has allowed me to gain other perspectives and for that I am thankful.

Week 5 Blog Assignment

The first  conflict that I would like to discuss is with my husband. No specific occurrence, just what I have been noticing. Of course we are newlyweds and are always finding that we disagree on a lot more than we did before we got married. So what we do is not talk to one another when we are upset because we tend to get tension filled when we are angry and flustered. We take a step away and come back when we are more calm and can rationalize without elevated tones and unheard points of view. When there is so much tension things get out of hand and we have to be calm in order see the other person's point of view. Yes I admit it is very hard for me to walk away sometimes because I am one to keep talking about what is bothering me until I find understanding in why the disagreement happened and how to avoid it last time. ( Note: it seems like a good plan, but sometimes talking does NOT help.)

Then, there is the conflict that I have with my mother and sister. I will admit, we have a very unique relationship and I am still working on how to keep the peace with these two women. i have learned that it is better when we just keep some space in between and do not giver information about what it is that we are doing in our personal lives. The most that we can talk about without them trying to baby me, and tell me what decisions to make for me and  my own interests, is my daughter Mackenzie. Sometimes it is very annoying as well, but I do believe that they are not always trying to attack me and can sometimes give advice. What they are learning about me is that when I want their personal opinions, I will ask them and they are learning that, although I am the youngest, I need to live for me and not for them. I cannot live making regrets because I am living based off how they feel I should live.

With that being said, I am interested in any advice anyone has to give for marriage or any sister-sister, mother-daughter relationships. I am more concerned with how to make my marriage last seeing that many marriages are ending in divorce and all I dreamed of is having the traditional family household. I just would like to know how to co-exist with someone and come to a mutual ground.

Blog Assignment Week 4 6165

There are not many things that I claim to be perfect at, but communication is something I think I am good at. Usually I am the one to be sought out for advice and feedback. Most of the time I do not give my opinion unless I am asked for it, seeing as I am very strong minded. Most of the things about me stated I. The survey were true except for the fact that I do not feel uneasy when involved in an intense conversation. I am always respectful of how the other person may be feeling, however this can get me into trouble at times because I cannot distinguish the trustworthy from the untrustworthy. My tow people I chose to discuss my communication abilities with agreed with me for the most part except  for the fact that they believe I am more aggressive when talking about something I am passionate about, where as I think I am still very considerate. Mostly they are speaking about the approach I have with close family members and intimate people like my husband.

Week 3 Blog Assignment

For each, different person I have to adapt to I learn how to act accordingly. I tend to find myself asking if it is alright that I ask questions about their person culture, just so that I can get a feel of what they deem to be acceptable in order to respect the wishes of their beliefs. I do each person like this regardless so that I can know why things are and I can work with others s that I can help others to understand and not place stereotypes. I think that openly asking questions allows the person you are trying to get to know feel comfortable and make for respectful occurrences. When one feels respected it is easy to apply the Platinum Rule.

Week 2 Blog Assignment 6165

The show that I chose to observe with the sound off is Blackish. When watching the show without the sound off it seems like everyone is very loving with some kind of reservation about something else. The children talk about something over breakfast and seem to be having a heated debate about something involving school I'm assuming. the parents walked in and joined in the conversation with the children and they seem to have a difference of opinion about whatever is being discussed.
They seem to have good relationships, but with disagreeing body languages.

Based on the assumptions that I made from viewing the show with the sound off, they were correct when turning the sound on. They were arguing about sports that one son will be playing at the table (children), and the granddad, mother and father were discussing a promotion that the dad was supposed to get that day and the wife and granddad were telling him how much he needed it and how if he went to the other job that they suggested then he will have been making more money. The show is actually funny but you can tell with silence there is some difference in opinion, always.

Blog assignment week 1

There are many different people in my life that have many ways in which their communicate effectively. But, in a professional system, my has the best communication when it comes to addressing concerns and doing so with the utmost respect and patience. There have been many times that I have had unfairness happen in the workplace when working in retail. My mother was always the one i could call and talk through how to communicate my concerns without feeling, well showing the emotions. It was never ok to be disrespectful to your superior.
