(Day 23) 22nd April - Effective Communication

Before messaging the team member and my tutor, I conferred with Hannah to see what she thought. I knew I was going to message but I was interested in a second opinion. Hannah agreed I should messaged and offered wording, a way to approach this and then message the tutor. However, I felt like I was just going to message anyway and I did. I messaged my team member at the same time. 

After exchanging a few messages, the team assured me the topic is not the same. Saying, "I am certainly inspired by yours but never in my life would I do the same topic". She also said "I know you have worked hard and you deserve all the credits for that. I am glad you directly asked me and clarified. It's better that way than keep misunderstanding". After talking, I was unsure if I should have messaged our tutor, was it too rash? However, I am basing this on trust that my team member is speaking the truth, which I think she is. Our tutor being aware was a safety measure at the least. I also asked for future tutorials in person.

(Day 30) 10th May - Peer Feedback Part 2

Image
20 days ago, on the 23rd March, we did our first peer feedback session ( click here to see log ). After completing the brief, we were asked the same questions about our team members, it was interesting to see the answers. Again, the responses were anonymous and there was one less response as the groups changed.  I think all feedback received was fair and I had acknowledged areas of improvement throughout. It reflects that I had progressed on my intrapersonal skills. This is still a learning journey for me, I know that whilst I have made progress, I know my patience will be an on going challenge.  The comment about being "too impatient to be a good listener" this was evident in the first difficult discussion - here . I didn't read all the chat, I was growing impatient and annoyed. However, it was nice to see my effort to work on my weaknesses were recognised. I think I could also work on my bluntness or kind of hardness? This is coming from the "warm-hearted personali

(Day 28) 29th April - Hannah's Group Review

 As we close the group work and focus on our individual submissions, Hannah asked the group to answer questions on experience of the project. This was great to see how others felt.  Question 1) Name one thing that went well? Question 2) One thing you have learnt from this project is... Question 3) One thing you think could be improved? Question 4) Name something / one skill you learnt about yourself that you would like to improve? Hannah:   Q1) the final presentation  Q2) not to presume everyone knows what’s happening, even when they say it’s ok Q3) group to me management - the next proj I would start out by doing ‘minI team interviews’ to identify strengths and weaknesses and create proj mgt task lists Q4) my communication skills, I’ve read and practice some of the jo Owen skills and they had a better response in my WBL learner but need more practice in proj groups Tanisha: Ans 1- apart from the final presentation, I believe we all have had a number of personal learnings.

(Day 29) 1st May - What's Next?

So as this comes to an end, what is next? I haven't had the chance to properly start Grace Beverly's book yet - that is first. For one submission for this module, to represent my journey and self-reflection, I need to create an audio/visual video that is a maximum of 8 minutes long.  The video is to reflect our role, our research, experiences, learning and contributions. The claims and strategises must revenant design management theory. I have two ideas for my video at this time: 1. A video of somebody assembling a 'smooth sailing ship' with all the boat parts representing considerations for high EQ and what I worked on to work well in a team. 2. Overcoming a wall (obstacle) which represents past experiences. Then assembling a ladder which each part represents a different consideration of things I learnt and contributed to overcome the wall. Going over to the other side which shows the overall skills and contributions which made me a better leader and team member.  3. A
