Group Reflection

During this group session, the patients were asked to identify common relapse triggers and verbalize ways in which they can avoid their triggers. The patients were provided with a handout on triggers and educated on alternative methods to avoid their triggers.The patient was oriented x 3.

He further shared that he goals are to engage in outside activities that can help occupy his timeThe patient was oriented x 3. He actively participated in the group discussion. The patient identified his triggers as his relationship with his family members. Throughout the session, the patient

My prior experience in leading a group is when I lead a group of young men that were growing up in low-income housing. Ironically, most of these young men were growing up in a household where there is no father present, and they looked to the streets for guidance. During these group sessions, we talk about the stigma that was placed upon them for coming from the area in which they were growing up in. We also talked about social issues that they are dealing with growing up as African American males. Another point that was brought up was how do they deal with the police that patrols the area. Also, we created a dialogue that entailed discussing what the short-term and long-term goals were. Many participants of this group were eager to

My group’s first decision was to pick a topic and we all agreed to work on the solider topic. Once we knew both the topic and the group members we decided to meet to pick individual parts and do some research. Because that Wednesday was reading day it was decided that we would meet for a few hours in the library starting at 7 am. It was only Tyler, Meegan and I who met in the library. There is where we decided that Meegan would talk about the soldier’s experiences in battle and Tyler talked about the major leaders and the major battles in the Mexican American War. I spoke about the Texan revolution the Alamo and Texas becoming a state.

During high school, my credibility was challenged during group projects. I tend to take charge and not consider the thoughts and opinions of others. A specific example of this issue can be seen during a project I had to complete for AP United States Government and Politics.

Our group project started out with a group member leaving the group because of lack of communication and conflict over the artist/topic but overall it turned out well, and the class seemed to enjoy our topic. At first, our group consisted of Benny, Emily, Eric, and myself and after we knew that were in the same group we immediately started brainstorming on topics that we wanted to focus on. On our first official group meeting, we discussed about other topics, and we decided on a show on Netflix called On My Block which follows four teenagers and tackles some of the issues that we discussed in class. Benny was not happy with this and did not want to watch the show, and he suggested that we should focus on a music video, but unfortunately, the

Group members appeared physically tired which has been the observed general appearance of members throughout the last few sessions. Emotionally the clients displayed various degrees of emotions, one group member appeared sad while the others more content and/or positive. All members, except for one, engaged in group discussion. The group member who did not engage is typically quiet and reserved; however, when I purposively direct questions to that member she engages. Overall the group shifted into action stage within the group pertaining to the context of the session, coping with stress. The topic seemed to be extremely relevant to many of the group members and; therefore, I believe this lead to members increased desire to participate in group discussion.

For this group project my group members and I focused on food insecurity in Jefferson County, Mississippi. My group members were Kinley Springs, Victoria Chain, and Ashlee Blackwell. My group and I met about five times outside of class to work on the outline and proposal . During the first meeting we were focusing on the outline and we decided who did what parts and we also came up with a name for our company. Kinley focused on the program objectives and also finalizing the paper by editing and putting it all together. Victoria focused on the budget and the evaluation. Ashlee focused on the program summary and methods and organizational chart. I focused on the introduction and the problems and needs statement. For the rest of the meetings

Throughout my years in graduate school, I found myself with many opportunities to work on group projects. I always found these projects to be a rewarding experience because it was not only an opportunity to contribute my experience and ideas to the project but also listen to experience and ideas of my teammates. However, working on a group project also meant making sure to examine the work of my teammates and vice-versa. So for each group assignment, I always made sure to follow certain guidelines I laid out for myself in order to get the assignment completed.

In my undergraduate work, almost all of my classes that were directly related to my major required at the least one group project. In the beginning this was not something I was very fond of mostly because I had some bad experiences when it came to working with others on projects. Usually it was the problem of people not pulling their own weight, and doing their parts to help with the tasks. When it came time to have the assignment complete it was even harder to give a grade to those people. I did not want to be the guy who caused someone to throw someone under the bus. However, after I thought about it, I did want to be that guy because in the real world on a work project if there was someone who did not pull their weight in the job projects would not be successful. So, when it came time for grades, I was always honest, and usually if a person did not do their part I told it how it was.

Today, I co-facilitated a group at the alternative school. I began the group with a recap of what was discussed last week, and I asked the members to name one thing they took from the group on last week. One member stated she learned how to demonstrate self-control when she is angry. Another member stated he also learned how to demonstrate self-control. He gave an example that occurred this weekend. He stated he got into trouble at home, and his mother made him angry. He stated instead of “going off”, he took a deep breath and walked away. He stated he went in his room to calm down. I felt successful in being able to assist the members with identify coping skills they can utilize when they are angry. It was very rewarding to hear the members disclose what they learned in last session, and how they have utilized at least one of their coping skills since last time we met.

In the group presentation, my group and I presented on the issue of -isms. This included focus on sexism, ageism, and racism. I felt that each person in our group was very diverse and unique which made our presentation stand out with having a little bit of individuality from each member in the presentation. Our main goal of communication was to inform the audience on what exactly each -ism is, discuss where each one is found, and how the are influenced in today's society.

Employee benefits and compensation are essential to a successful business. A company’s ability to thrive is often due in large part to the workers it employs. Because of this, it is important that the compensation and benefits the employer offers to the employees are competitive and comprehensive. Week three objectives include explaining how to create these benefit packages, determining the appropriate components of the employee compensation and benefits, and using organizational and market data to conduct human capital management functions. The learning team will explain the topics of struggle for the team, the topics of comfort for the team, and explain how these

Sharing will take place a little throughout the activity as the clients in group discuss their individual tasks. More sharing will take place after the activity is completed. Group members will share with each other what their individual jobs are and what they contributed. We as a group will discuss how working together on our individual jobs contributing to one final product benefitted them. We will touch on the fact that everybody played a valuable role and that the final product would be worse without the help of everybody.

Executive’s emotional intelligence (EI), insight, and authority aptitudes have a clear connection to their execution. New research demonstrates that an executive 's passionate style drives other people 's inclinations and practices (Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee, 2015). Only in recent years has there emerged a scientific model of the emotional mind that explains how so much of what we do can be emotionally driven. Individuals can be so reasonable at one moment and so irrational the next. Emotions can be experienced and deployed intelligently and skillfully or not so intelligent and skillfully (Goleman, 2005). The skill that allows one to understand, implement and use emotions is called emotional intelligence (Goleman, 2005).

The main dynamic that I saw emerge from the group was a sense of discomfort with one another. Throughout a majority of the sessions, group members participated in minimal self-disclosure and there was a great deal of staring at the floor. Not only was there an overall lack of discussion, group members disclosed during the first and second sessions feeling unsafe to work on their personal intentions. One particular member discussed feeling unsafe all the way through session six. Also, several group members commented in the third session that it was difficult for them to separate outside relationships with one another during group. This is something that I personally relate to since it was difficult for me to forget the positive and
