I chose this course to develop my awareness of counselling and the techniques that are required. I wanted to see if I had the correct skills and knowledge, to offer a variety of counselling skills to my work colleagues or the students that I work with. Before the course I would have said that I had a lot of good qualities that are essential in counselling. Some of my strengths are that I am not judgemental, I can support unconditionally, I am a good listener and I am very attentive. Reflecting over the past weeks and assessing the impact of this course, I am now more aware that Counselling can help in a number of different ways.

Over time I was able to open up to the larger group and actively made the effort to be more involved in whole group discussions. I think this is explained by getting to know to the group better, feeling comfortable interacting with them and also realising that I would not be negatively judged every time I opened my mouth. This realisation boosted my self esteem and also gave me the confidence to freely respond the way I wanted. However I feel that I need to continually reflect and remind myself that my

It was through these classes and conferences that I got to meet with leaders and focus on outcomes, and initiatives such as retention. The passion and expertise of these leaders as well the conversations I had with them not only, I believe, made me a better leader in practice but they serve as motivation for what I can achieve. 3. Lessons learned that have helped you grow as a leader. I’ve learned to listen attentively to what someone else is saying.
Supervisions are regular, between myself and my manager. They are designed to help improve the way I work, they offer practical and guidance and support in areas that I need to improve. After supervisions are the appraisals. They evaluate what was covered in the supervisions to make sure that improvement is occurring and to set new goals. My supervisions are taken on shift, my manager will watch how I work, how I integrate with the team of staff and with the clients in the care home and put forward any ideas on what I could do differently but also explain what I am doing well.
Role the event played in the continued development of personality? My first job played many roles in the development of my personality. The first way my job helped continue development of my personality was with my confidence. My first job let me know that I could do anything I put my mind too. With that confidence I developed un-fearful personalities which lead me to become an outgoing and friendly individual.
We divided responsibilities according to our strengths so that everyone can progress more. We fixed deadlines which would suit everyone and finally we started working as a team. Anyone who finished their work early would help with others work and thus making the environment
When having undertaken training it is important to feedback this knowledge to my colleagues to provide up to date accurate information in order for them to full fill their roles, this is shared during weekly team meetings when time has been allocated for this purpose. In sharing this knowledge and information it enables other support workers I work with to also work effectively with accurate information. If the information to share is in a document this is shared by the organisations protected emailing system so staff can access this when convenient and can reflect back on this. Training to further knowledge and practice that is relevant to my supporting role is identified during regular supervision and annual IPA’s, this enables me and my manager to identity training that is not only available but is beneficial for me as a worker and for the organisation. Training that becomes available throughout the year is shared in team meetings for staff to express their interest and apply.
My overall experience on conducting this project was positive because I felt more better with myself being able to help in the community. Throughout the course, I learned more about what it takes to be civically involved with the community and it really doesn’t take that much to contribute as long as there is effort put into the collaboration. What I have learned about civic engagement is that people contribute towards a good cause or what they believe is the correct thing to do. “The term “civic life”, also used interchangeably with the term “civic engagement”, can be used to describe diverse activities and generally includes activities that build on the collective resources, skills, expertise, and knowledge of citizens to improve the quality
