Reflections Week 2

I was not surprised by my communication style. I am a sensor and a feeler. These are characteristics that are completely ingrained in my personality as well. I am always concerned with how others will take something I write or say. I am always trying to be sure that everyone is ok. Sometimes I go too far in my quest to make things ok. I also tend to take things very personally even though I know I should have a thicker skin than that.

I do not consider myself a very deep philosophical person which is one reason I never thought I would make a great leader. I am hoping to develop some confidence and leadership skills that will play to my strengths and help me shore up my weaknesses.

ELC Scavenger Hunt

I am very comfortable with the ELC as a platform for my online learning. There are a few things I will need to learn to manage. For one the reading of the discussion boards, I will need to figure out the best way to accomplish this without re-reading so many posts.

I also wish I could interactively actually check off the check box list, maybe you can and I haven't figured it out yet.

I am very nervous about what's coming next. It has been a very long time since I have taken any "real" courses. I love to learn but I wonder if I am getting in over my head. I am not really a philosophical person, I am a do-er and a dreamer, but I don't usually think it through. I am very impulsive and I don't have the most confidence in my ability to defend my feelings on a subject. I shy away from conflict and am not a very good debater. I hope to build some of that confidence that I need to become a successful and effective leader.
