Always listen first before
responding to ensure that there
will be no confusion.
Be empathetic and not so selfish' in
conversations with peers/classmates. Work
hard to understand other people's ideas and
perspectives before rushing to state my own.
Stay in tune with my own emotions and well
- being in order to be more open in
understanding others in both verbal and non -
verbal communications.
I intend to offer words of encouragement to the
people I come in contact to, particularly at college
currently. I believe that this will make them feel
more welcome and appreciated when
communicating with me, and in turn, make each
of us feel more comfortable in discussions.
I will try to make sure that when I am in a group conversation
that I include everyone properly using the correct method of
communication, especially body language. I say this as body
language is something I must work on as I can get pre - judged
badly due to showing off the wrong body language which could
make people somewhat uncomfortable in my presence.
Intend to communicate with people equally and treat
them the same and avoid patronisation. This will build
and develop people's trust and respect in me which is
key in communication.
I will intend to not send mixed
messages - make every tone match
to avoid confusion, otherwise
inefficiency will be caused.
Make eye contact to portray genuine interest and make a
conscious effort to talk with different ages of people to
develop and show different kinds of communication and
language.
How will I
develop
ORGANISATION?
Plan all work or tasks that need to be
completed in date and therefore priority
order.
I will not procrastinate over work as this will
cause me extra stress and worry as well as
enabling a larger workload later on,
I intend to always manage my time
effectively.
I must examine the situation I am in firstly before
deciding how I must organise it - work wise. This is
very important because I need to know that when I
make a plan to organise myself, that it will work in
with my day - to - day life.
I will try to not maximise my tasks, but optimise
them for better results.
I intend to continue to alienate myself from any
distractions so that I can stay completely
focused and fully organised.
Be time - driven - make time lines to complete certain
tasks in order to stay on top of workloads.
How will I
develop
DECISIVENESS?
I am extremely indecisive so the main
way to develop decisiveness is to tell
myself that I can be decisive and that
i can make quick, fast decisions.
Force myself to make fast decisions - about work and general day - to - day life; 'When
will I complete this?' 'This task must be completed now' 'Choose this colour.' Doing this
makes decisiveness easier as it becomes part of my daily routine and not something I
need to think about often.
Listen to my instincts.
I will remind myself that there is no
such thing as a bad decision - any
decision will be of benefit as actions
and intent will always beat inaction
and slow decision making.
Set myself time limits to make
decisions by; this will further
help me be more decisive.
Remember: the faster the decision is made,
the more productivity will occur. This will
help me so much in work!
How will I develop
TEAM WORKING
Ask questions to develop
my own understanding.
Caommunicate reasoning
behind an idea effectively.
I intend to use the fact that we
are goal interdependent (relying
on each other whilst working
towards the same goal) to help
me work through group and
team work.
Helping others by responding to
their needs.
Allow everyone to contribute, do not
always take lead.
Sustain enthusiasm and
drive.
Split work evenly and do not
allow overlap. I intend to make
sure that everybody is doing some
form of task Input and output
have to be even as it will cause
me, and others, less stress.
I will try to not blatantly dismiss
someone's idea. Let them explain
before I state my opinion.
