Week 4

The two sessions I enjoyed the most at last Friday's leadership conference was "Taking a Sit Out of Diversity" and "Heathy Relationships and Communication Styles." They were both enlightening and made me take a step back. 

The diversity session was interesting because everyone is diverse in their own way along with learning different ice breakers. It was interesting to see with a group of individual who are primarily white and from the midwest and yet we were extremely diverse. And that just because two people can go through the same situation or event, but still have an different experiences and affect them in their own personal way. One of the ice breakers was inner and outer circle where people are face to face answering question, but it was more like speed dating with question that make you take a step back and think. 

Healthy Relationships and Communication Styles was a great way to learn different ways to communicate to a mentee in tough situations. Also we talked about where the lines it to how much we can help out before going and getting a professional or someone with more training. And with every situation when talking to  someone seeking your help is to ask open-ended questions not close-ended ones to help you better understand the situation.
