What will I bring to my group?

  1. List the skills you can offer to your group. List a minimum of 3 skills. 
Looking in the book, pages 189 and 190, and the listings of roles in a group, I can identify with at least 3 of them.

Researcher- I am awesome at researching. I sometimes surprise myself at the research I find.

Information seeker- I'm great at asking the questions that needs to be asked, filling in the missing information.

Tension releaser and observer/interpreter- I'm good at keeping the group on track and help alleviate any conflicts, stress, or miscommunication. I had to do this recently in a family group chat, there was a lot of miscommunication and I cleared things up before it got out of hand. 

I'm not thrilled about taking on these roles but I have taken on the roles of group leader and initiator/contributor quite a few times. My organizational skills are not up to task a lot of the time, but I can step in and get things rolling if I need to.  2.


2. Provide one proposed code of conduct for your group.

As group members, we will all check in regularly to our group's chat and communicate regularly with the group. We will all work together to complete this project and help one another, when needed, to do the best job that we can do.



3. How do you typically resolve conflict? Complete the “How do I handle conflict?” worksheet below and list on your blog your rankings.

My conflict rankings:
1. Avoidance - 17
2. Compromise - 16
3. Collaborate - 16
4. Accommodate - 14
5. Competition - 10

Feelings - Censorship and Expression

When was the last time you expressed yourself during a conflict? How about censor yourself? I am a passive person. I hate conflict and I hate confrontation. Therefore most of the time I tend to avoid conflict if I can. Should I happen to be confronted, however, it usually ends in two ways. The first way it usually ends is myself being quite stressed out and quite unhappy, as I usually stay silent so the person on the other side of the conflict can go away, usually quite happy as they've won the argument. The second way a conflict usually ends is the same way; I am stressed and unhappy and the other person is stressed and unhappy, but they now know how I feel. An example of the last time I have expressed myself during a conflict would be the last argument I had with a former friend. She and I were quite opposites of each other, we knew each other for a while (met through a mutual friend) and had hit it off. After a while in the relationship she started to push me around a bit, t

My Self-Concept

Five Things I'm Most Proud of Myself 1. I'm still madly in love with my husband after 15 years. 2. Going back to school,getting good grades, and I'm almost done. 3. Raising three really great kids. 4. I'm kind and considerate to other people's feelings. 5. I can usually find the positive to any situation. I'm actually really proud of all these features, however, if I were to pick one, it would have to be going back to school. It's tough taking classes when you've been out of school for almost 20 years. It's also tough when you work a ton of hours and have younger children to raise. Also, I'm almost done. I am a person that starts something and never finishes, so to be this far along and can see the finish line, I'm super proud of that fact. Five Things I Believe In 1. Communication is very important in any relationship. 2. Treat others how you would want to be treated. 3. Spirituality 4. Forgiving and forgetting.
