During group, I was nervous because I still have no idea what topic I should bring up. I wonder if I should begin talking, but I am also a bit nervous to share something that I might be judged for. I find it very relaxing when Dr. U has us take deep breaths before starting group. Either way when Dr. U was mentioned that we did not have a specific topic to talk about, I really wanted to just share a random story, but something stopped me. I appreciated when Lucy shared how she feels that she is a very emotional person. I connected with her, because people always know how I am feeling based on my facial expressions.
In addition, Sergio, Mathew, and Veronica shared that they were taught to not show their emotions and that whatever they are feeling sad they should keep them inside. It’s interesting because I also connected to them. As the oldest child, I always expressed some form of strength by not crying when my family was going through hard situations. I explained to my classmates since I learned how to hide my emotions, my siblings see me as the strongest member in the family. Regardless, when I feel like I crying I do it at my own time when no one can see me. Hearing my classmates agree to this topic was comforting to me. Furthermore, I noticed that when I was expressing how I consider myself a sensitive person, I wanted to cry, but looking at Angines smile made me feel happy again. I truly appreciate everyone in group.

The group I was part of first was the simulation group. The role I was suppose to play was Coordinator. Although I wasn't sure I played the part well, as I wasn't sure how play as one to be quite frank.
Considering that this was my first time, the purpose of the group is to address any PTSD symptomatology and invite all members to participate in group discussion about any related issues or topics. The group doesn’t seem structured or formatted in any way. I believe it meets the pt’s where they are and goes from there.
The grief support group I co-led was an open group. This led to introductions and a small orientation at the beginning of each session to create a positive tone for the group. The other leader led this introduction for the first few sessions and asked me to observe, study, and determine how I would like to convey an introductory message and the ground rules for the next sessions. This
The purpose of this essay is to reflect on our group presentation. The task was to launch a new product/service in the UK. I will be analyzing and evaluating on our experience throughout all the stages.
Our advisory group is composed of all 9th graders and typically meets on Wednesdays during Community Time. We started the year by doing some “get to know each other” activities during our firs few advisory meetings. A favorite among the group was when we filled in a giant chart with each student’s name and the answers to questions about their preferences on many topics. Some of the items recorded were favorite social media, dog or cat person, hero and many others. We will do this each year and compare results over time. Once we got to know each other a little bit, we took some time for introspection and wrote some goals for the year. The students also did a reflection at the end of the first quarter. This reflection along with the goal information
This week consisted of me leading groups twice, doing an intake assessment with a client and participating in the documentation. During this week I also got to interact with new clients and discuss some of their current goals, this time even assisted in my process of working through with them about what goals are the most important currently in their lives. The first group didn’t go well because I had one individual being disruptive and searing a lot, the other client in a group didn’t have a chance to talk, and we had to end group early. During that time, didn’t handle the individual well and it was a good experience for me dealing with demanding clients. One of my classes I’m currently taking discusses this week the aspect of stepping out
At initial of spring semester, Professor Nola Schmidt made groups in research method for evidence based practice (NUR 670) for paper and homework. After she made groups, I sent her email about change my partner in the group at the same day. However, she did not respond my email at that time. I was not comfortable when she said, " you will work with Jalal for homework and paper" because I knew him already, and we worked in the same hospital in my country. I told Professor, I want to work with domestic students or Indian students because they might have different ideas and knowledge about nursing, but she did not answer my email. In fact, I hoped to be alone to make paper after the Professor did not change the group. I knew my grade on the exam
While completing my group WIKI, I feel that each member in my group has put in lots of effort and tried to make it as perfect as possible. The biggest challenge I faced is that don’t have much ideas about Idaho so I need to spend more time to search for the information. Luckily, I have very good group members that help me out. I think our group work very well, we help each other and point out the mistakes and make the correction together. The weakeness of my group is we did not read through the instructions carefully and made some mistakes on the references part. Generally, we tried our best in doing that and it is a great team to work
The purpose of this paper is to discuss with the reader a personal analysis reflecting group experience and perception of the team’s effectiveness to work together. Group Three discussed intraprofessional bullying in the work place. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services defines bullying as “unwanted, aggressive behavior” (U.S. Department, 2016). This unwanted behavior may be repeated frequently often resulting in negatively lasting impacts on the individual (U.S. Department, 2016). Throughout the group one paper resolutions and outcomes were provided to the reader. Personal experience working with group three members was production. According to Lauren Elrick, “Unless you’re pursuing a career as a novelist or truck driver,
Overall, our group dynamic was good. We were able to collaborate and critique openly, without any real arguing or tension. Everyone’s opinions were heard and when there were disagreements they were resolved by civil discussion. The only conflicts that we experienced, which were fairly minor, were due to lack of communication or the presence of miscommunications, which were easily resolved with further conversations and clarifications. The workload during the pre-production phase of our film was most evenly distributed. We assigned duties during class and we all did our fair share. Originally our workload during production was broken down into our shooting schedule, which organized who would film what and when. However, we did not stick to the schedule as much as I wish we had, especially since I spent a lot of time creating the schedule. Instead we divided the workload based on our original sequences, which Liam outlined and emailed to us, with each of us filming an equal share of the planned shots. As our film evolved, we maintained this workload distribution, in which we all filmed even shares of certain portions of the films, even as we restructured the film into three acts instead of episodes. Each of us also took on a specific focus in the production as well. Liam and I collected interviews, while Brielle, picked up the exterior shots that became a larger focus of our film. Brielle and Liam, also picked up specific shots of students working, while I focused on getting
Freshman year of high school, I decided to leave my friend group. The girls I hung out with started to become less interested in doing well in school, and more interested in being “popular.” This skipped school, obtained a new interest in drugs and alcohol, and failed their classes. I realized my friends transformed into negative influences, and I did not want to have them in my life any longer. They consistently called me rude names, and did not contribute anything positive, or productive to my life. They were an immature and negative group of girls, and I decided to become independent from this friend group.
The Information Technology department at my job is a group I am part of and also a group that has some history. Our longest standing member has served the company for nearly ten years and could probably describe the changes that have occurred much better than me. From my perspective, this group has not changed much since I became member. Much of the standards and principles shared by each member have been in place well before I started.
During group, I learned more about myself and how it is okay to be vulnerable sometimes, because you never know who you might connect with and develop a supportive relationship. I learned why I do not like to share certain thoughts, for example, not noticing till group that my culture plays a factor. Also, I learned a great deal about my group members and what challenges they face. Group made me learn that every individual processes information differently. For example, Roy and Andrew explained from the beginning that they internally process information, and in the moment, may not express their feelings, but given some time, they will be ready to share. For other members, including myself, building trust took some time. For example, in the first few sessions of class I let me group members know that I am a very emotional person and cry easily, and this is what I believe to be a negative thing. However, Veronica shared that she wishes she could show emotions and thought my trait was not a disadvantage. I felt comfortable with Veronica after that comment. She went on to say how in her family, you are considered weak and should never let anyone see your emotions, that is why she tends to put up a wall with
For the deliberative dialogue assignment and presentation, I believe my group and I went through the Phase Theory of Group Development while working on this project. Before being assigned the project, the five of us, Charisse, Bryce, Abby, Chris, and I, were put together into a group. In class, we got together and decided which topic we wanted to research about. We shared our personal thoughts and experiences in order to have an understanding of each other’s viewpoints. This would be considered the first phase orientation, having a grasp of everyone’s perception in order to reach an agreement of the task. At first, it was difficult for us to write our position in the form of a formal letter. We all had the same goal in mind but didn’t have the steps leading to it. When we had planned to meet outside of class, there wasn’t much discussion or debate regarding our topic due to a collective agreement. Charisse and I attempted to push our group into the second phase of conflict by bringing up new ideas to challenge our existing points. This enabled us to further exchange our thoughts in order to find an effective solution. Our topic affected Chris and I the most, but I attempted to make it relatable to everyone else in the group. Charisse questioned how we should deliver the presentation during class by dividing our topics into three points with an introduction and conclusion. This lead to the third phase, emergence. Through discussion, we were able to uncover details and
