Ella stood in the doorway of the locker room deciding if she was going to go along with the plan or if she was going to do the right thing.

I personally, have to first accept that I too am not perfect; my past and current methods of communication and listening skills have not worked, and I need to be more open in order to welcome change. One important step that can be made involves common courtesy; do not speak when someone else is speaking! This is something that was taught during early stages of development, yet it is often ignored during adulthood because of a false sense of entitlement that ones’ opinions are more important, and that is not true. As Petersen (2007) has stated throughout his book, there is often a sense of urgency or a need to solve problems or interject solution even when it is not required or asked. The idea that another person may only be seeking a listening ear is bypassed completely. Moving forward, I think it is essential that I create my own TLC (talker-listener card) that I can take with me and use as a stepping stone to changing my flawed listening and communication skills. Because I am a visual learner, this will work perfectly in helping me stay focus on my role in the conversation. Whenever I feel the need to interject my opinions, I can look down at the card and acknowledge if it is my turn to speak and even if it is remember what my duties are; if the problem was not mines to begin with then my job is not to solve it but rather be an effective listener in order to help the other person develop their own

I have for months been in apprehension that David would volunteer. Yet, joining the Army will be a terrible trial to me. He joined the Washington County Company commanded by Capt.Willet. They are now at Camp Cummings, the Fair ground. David sold his Pistol, got $25 for it, paid some of his little debts and we are preparing shirts with crochet work. He is very serious and deliberate about it, and the poor boy, he will be more so as the hardships thicken upon him. He was anxious to be called in.

"Phil, can you please get off the couch and continue cleaning the kitchen?" Dan walked towards the television with a broom in his right hand and turned off the anime Phil was binge watching. "Jess is almost home and I don't want her walking into a pig sty!"

I spoke with Sarah Morra regarding the home. She listened carefully and patiently to my inquiry and then informed me that the home was still available. Then, she mentioned that it was tenant occupied and once an offer was accepted, the tenants would have sixty days to vacate. In addition, she informed me that it was being sold "As-Is." Sarah provided brief information about the property, however, she did not do so in an upbeat and encouraging manner. Although Sarah was friendly, she made no effort to build rapport. In general, I found her professionalism to be

On Saturday Jan 2, 2016 My Wife, and I had a free day with the kids and thought it'd be a good idea to visit your dealership as we are in the Market for a new vehicle. The salesperson who greeted me less than 30 seconds and 6 inches from my car door was Ryan Smith. I explained to him immediately which vehicle I was searching for and showed him the listing on your website. I made certain at this time to tell him we would not be buying today, I wanted numbers to take back to my credit union. He responded by arguing with me and saying to give his finance guys a chance. After a moment of defending my position he left to go find the car we came to look at.

Kelsey is the most creative person I know. My older sister Kelsey is one of the most important people in my life and I’ve always looked up to her. I was actually surprised when Kelsey said I could interview her, she usually tells me to go ask mom whenever I’m asking her something. After interviewing my sister, I learned a lot about her. Before interviewing her I didn’t know how hard it was for her to get through school, I had no idea it was such a big commitment for her to make. I already knew she loved what she does for a living, just didn’t know how much it meant to her.

Everyday Maddy would come home from school and complain to her Dad about how much she hated being at Dunstan and how bored she was in Alexandra. Every day she would complain about how she needed a change but she didn’t know what she wanted. I thought the best option would be moving her down to Dunedin, this way she would have a different lifestyle. I had been looking into her moving down since the start of 2015, I had been following up on different schools around the area, Kavanagh College was the one that stood out the

I had a best friend named Bethany once, but she was strange in a way that no one would ever think: she was part of a murderous family. It all started in the seventh grade, when she came up to me to ask if we could work on a project together and while doing the project we got to know each other better. I told her about my family and what I wanted to be when I was older. She told me that her family was different than any normal family(how ironic) and that they had just moved to town. I realized that she might not have had any friends, so I invited her over to my house to watch a movie. While I was getting the popcorn ready, I heard the door shut close, so I ran to find that Bethany was not in the living room anymore. I thought that maybe she got nervous and left and didn't think of it that much.

Me and my cousin Roxanne were close. She lived in the country, so my sisters and I would go to her house every Thanksgiving and play in the small woods that she had in her backyard. So many wonderful memories that I will never forget. Growing up, we would share each other’s secrets and promise each other not tell anyone. We would tell each other what was bothering us in our families, how we feel, the guys we dated, and the guys that broke our hearts. Over the years my sisters, me and Roxanne kept ourselves busy with school, church and our jobs. We grew apart and stopped talking to Roxanne less because of how busy we were. Sometimes we would not have thanksgiving at Roxanne’s house and have Thanksgiving at my grandmother’s house. The last time we were all united, we noticed Roxanne had changed

When i was around 10 years old, me and my friend Kelsie were hanging out at our elementary school (Saxvik). We started a game of soccer and a lot of people joined in. But it was my turn to be goalie, so i went into the goal and got ready to catch the ball. A kid kicked the ball and missed but let's just say i didn't miss anything, I ran into the bar and fell down. After a few minutes i got to go and play Striker. As i was running someone passed the ball up to me, and i started dribbling it. Once i got close enough to take the shot i stepped on the ball and fell backwards.

The morning of December 10th 2011, I got onto my bus. As I got on, I noticed one of my friends, Kyleigh, wasn’t on the bus. I didn’t see her red curls over the seat like i normally did. “Where’s Kyleigh?” I asked the girl who sits next to her.

Lulu. She was about two feet high with the stance like a king her muscles were crazy big her fur shimmery gray she had light blue eyes and her tongue was always out of her mouth.She was given to me about a year ago as a present she was my absolute pride and joy she always made me so euphoric and maudlin, she was a pain, but she was always there when I got home waiting for me to see her, take her for walks and go swimming she loved the water. She just hated how cold it was. One day I had mistakenly forgot to lock her up before I went to school and she ran around all day made a mess all around the house. I was so screwed she even thought that this guy walking past our house wanted to play she charged and pranced around him she made him go insane.

Working for Lynn is not a clear cut question as most would think however I would have to say yes and no. On the business side of things, it would be a great learning experience to work with such a powerful and intelligent woman. I would enjoy getting the perspective from her in what she would have done differently for sure, however, learning the smart choices on obtaining business and making them successful again would be very helpful. Working with her from a stand point that herself confidence would encourage myself never to change my self regardless of the situation would be a positive. Studies show that in addition to education delegation skills are needed to help woman success in business (Cuba, DeCenzo, Anish, 1983). I believe she has exactly everything needed to carry on her name in the industry.
