- The type of working environment I see myself in is one with consistency, but also has room for change and flexibility. Consistency is important to me because I like having at least a basic structure to work with. With marketing being my major I know that there are basic structures and concepts people in the field go by, but outside of that allows for the creativity. I like to think of myself as a creative person. As a college student now I am very innovative with the resources that I have available to me. For example I am a very picky eater, so something that I do for lunch when eating at the school cafeteria is that I’ll pack my own salad dressing, Nutella, and plastic container of mandarin oranges for my salads. That may not mean anything to most people but I have gotten remarks like, “Oh, that’s a good idea!” A different example that relates more to “real-life situations” is that if something appears to be broken and I feel I have the potential to fix it, I will do what I can to at least put it in better shape than it was.

After realizing the issue, I understood the need for some form of conflict resolution (C #22). This colleague’s values, beliefs and assumptions were quite different from my own; as a result, our interactions were at times difficult, and conflict would result (C #65). We spoke at length and came to a mutual understanding regarding the need for professionalism and a smooth working relationship (C #11, #46). Later in my career, I had the opportunity to lead a conflict resolution workshop, and help teach others in the workplace how to manage and resolve conflicts when they arose. The approach to conflict resolution must depend on both the individuals involved, as well as the particular issue at the centre of the conflict (C #59). In my work with others, I adopted the transformational style of leadership to inspire others and ensure they had the confidence and understanding needed to better manage their conflicts (C #13). I felt that this was appropriate because many of the other nurses did not understand the need for the workshop at the onset of our meetings; adopting an approach that could inspire them through my communication of a clear vision was the best way to ensure I could successfully lead them and help facilitate our mutual learning (C #25, #48). Throughout this process, I continuously evaluated my choice of

When it comes to these types of traits I’m your girl! I love working with others and I always put people’s needs before mine. I am also very organized when it comes to pretty much anything and keeping a list or schedule is something I do often.

The result of my survey on Work Management Style is moderately monochronic, and I find it consistent with how I understand myself. I am a goal oriented individual who needs specific and organized plans to be able to complete my work. To attain my goal, I construct my plan of action in steps that are logical, written, and straight to the point. I also tend to focus on one thing at a time. I believe that if I focus my energy into one thing I will be able to accomplish it efficiently. Dividing my focus into separate assignments where I only put a little bit of effort decreases the quality of my work. I favor the quality of my work over the quantity of what I accomplish. Although it seems like I focus too much on my work, I do not disregard the fact that I need the help from other people. I believe that socializing has its specific time and place. I try to withdraw from anything that pulls me away from accomplishing my objectives.

We all have different life experiences and that may not be the same as others, the way we think, the way we work, the way our believes and values are recognised. However, you may come across work colleagues and service users whose view or methods of working you do not agree with. This could be just not simply understand the way in which these view or methods transcribe within the work place along with the service you are providing. These disagreement or conflicts could easily arise when your personal views/values are not agreed by others (service users/work
