Farewell Team

Image
These past eight weeks have been amazing. My interest was aroused by the stimulating learning resources that I encountered along the way, which allowed me to persevere and develop a  growth mindset as I traverse this professional journey and explore essential skills, components of communication processing. In addition, the myriad of communication competencies, approaches and techniques, and verbal and nonverbal cues along with listening, gestures and expressions have enhanced the way I communicate and will be beneficial as I interact with my students and their families, colleagues, relatives and organisations and agencies. Besides, understanding how my schema and perception of others can influence how I communicate was eye-opening. The self-assessment brought mind-blowing results to the fore that will help me improve or reexamine my communication skills. In addition, the complexities of intercultural communication have highlighted the significance of culture during interaction and allo

Team Building and Collaboration

Image
The above quote sums up, in a nutshell, some of the attributes of a great team or group. When individuals are mindful of these characteristics, it will be challenging to say goodbye. My Farewell Experience "High-performance teams add tremendous value to organisations. Nurturing and developing them aids efficiency and maximises the effectiveness and flexibility of individuals and the organisation" (Crowe Associates (n.d.).  A few years back, I can recall that the institution where I worked previously was visited by a team of volunteers from Great Shape Inc. These individuals were teachers on an internship program. As a result, they came to share best practices and to learn from us. The duration with us was about a month. The experience of intercultural exchanges was terrific. Besides, being culturally aware teaches you valuable skills, but it is also a lot of fun! You make new friends, But no sooner than you know, it will all come to an end.  The closing ritual and adjournmen

Strategies to Manage or Resolve Conflicts

Image
Think about any disagreements or conflicts you have recently experienced or are currently experiencing at work with a supervisor, colleague, or someone in your personal life.  Scenario: At my institution, there was a female security guard who was sent on retirement. As a result, a replacement was needed. We decided to use another female as a replacement for this position because this individual would only be on duty during the day when children are present. A member of the school's board was aware of the vacancy and told her husband, who applied for the position. However, the Board of Governors was hesitant based on the decision taken before for a female replacement. The gentleman attended the interview and found favour with the panel, but after working for few months, he decided to move on to another more lucrative job. One day he approached me and informed me of the decision to seek out this job before resigning. Being the people-oriented person I am, I told him that I support hi
