In the relation to the Kim’s game exercise, I was quiet and contemplative in the beginning. As it was demonstrated visually I began to understand it better. The purpose of the exercise was to work as a team, to structure and to organize as a team in order to complete the exercise.

One of my strengths is organization and I would always seem to be doing something. This couldn’t be truer. Looking at my work experience, most of the time I would plan my daily tasks, communicate with my colleagues, manage and motivate them to work as a team to towards certain goals. From time to time, once I made decisions, I would act on them straightway. One of my weaknesses is that I get bored easily. I totally agree on this point. Probably I made my mind up so easily and acted on decisions so quickly, that it would impact on the results and show that I wasn’t thinking carefully, thus I would certainly get bored very …show more content…
In order to progress myself I would need to communicate with my teammates more often, be open-minded and to fully participate in the group work, instead of staying in my comfort zone. On the Belbin assessment, I have learnt to be more thoughtful and pensive, to face challenges instead of feeling fear to shrink back. In the mean time I will have to develop my interpersonal skills, to be unemotional and be more prudent. To be more accurate and concise in my work I need to be calmer and always listen to others’ opinions. I believe watching some relevant videos and reading books will benefit this endeavor. On the personality assessment, I would need to develop thinking before acting skills. In order to do that I will need to plan ahead of tasks. I have to be accepting of the weaknesses in myself, and work extra hard, spending more time on my weaknesses. On the work turn on and offs assessment I have learnt to be free from bias, to acknowledge that I can’t let personal feelings overwhelm the facts. In the future I think I will talk to someone about my feelings and get a mentor to guide me when I am losing the direction due to an over-emotional

    The self-reflection recording was a long questionnaire that was given in the beginning of this course. The questionnaire involved a range of questions and topics from definitions to how we view our race. This recording gave me a much deeper view of how I felt about my own race, and the way I view the world. The second part of the self-reflection is a way to see the personal growth and change that has occurred within the span of this course. This self-reflection will provide my view and opinion on how I think I have changed, or have not changed, during my time in this course.…

    Within the perioperative environment it is essential that the patient is at the focus of their individual care, and unless their capacity to make decisions for themselves has been compromised, for example due to diminished capacity their autonomy to make their own decisions has to be respected.

The Department of Health (1998) (DOH), defines clinical governance as being; ‘A framework through which organisations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of services and safe-guarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which clinical care will flourish’.…

    Some of my strengths in this domain are establishing/completing priority assessments, evaluating/monitoring nursing actions, and completing thorough assessments on clients concerns.

I assessed this further, asking him about when it started, when its numb, looked at his CSMW and circulation, as well as asked about pain and sensation.

    Reflection is to revise, to rethink and to take a step back and make sure something is at your best preference. This term is one that I always knew existed, but didn’t apply it to my own work or to my own life. However, now that I know exactly where to apply it, I realize it doesn’t have to be only in education. It could be used in education, in one’s career and life says Sandra L. Giles. It’s interesting because I know exactly what it is, yet I never found the urge to actually apply it.…

    After taking the Career Assessments, I have learned new things about myself when I took the Type Focus, Focus 2, and the O*Net assessments. The assessments were quite interesting because it reveals your personality, interests, and values. In result, in each test they show a list a list of careers that I would best match with. When I took the personality portion of the Type Focus test, my results said that my personality is ENFJ (Extraversion, Intuition, Feelings, Judging), which means that I “glow with warm and sympathy,” and that is true because I am always concern and caring about my family, friends, and strangers. Another thing I learned about myself is that I understand people very well and want to learn more about the human behavior and as a psychology student therefore this is very beneficial.…

    English 106 was the first real college class that I ever stepped foot in, and because of that, I was extremely nervous and unsure. The English teachers at my high school always said that the papers they assigned were held to college standards, and I always did well on those assignments, but I was still unsure about this course. I expected this course to be loaded with reading and writing assignments that would make me pull all-nighters on a regular basis. After going through English 106, I realized that there were not too many assignments and that I learned a lot from each one. To me, the most salient parts of this course were the discourse community paper, the annotated bibliography, the art analysis, peer reviews, revisions, and reflections.…

This essay focuses on assessing my objectives and how I have developed my skills from the beginning of this semester until now. At the start of semester A, I wasn’t confident in preparing for the skills sessions and workshops. I wasn 't always able to find the correct answers to the workshop questions set which made it relatively difficult for me to participate in lectures despite finding myself at the library every other day. I began by listening to knowledge based lectures online and making notes alongside the recommended reading given by my lecturers or the module guide.…
