Week 4: Survey with my mom and my director!

This week was really fun! When I did the survey for myself, I looked at different scenarios that I put my self in through my professional life and my personal life. To be honest, I am pretty much the same person in both situations. I tend to be meek as far as being aggressive, a good listener, and communicate effectively. With the communication anxiety, I gave myself a higher score. I was moderate, while my mother and my director gave me a mild and a low. I think my anxiety comes from with in and not perceived by others. I do a good job working on my anxiety and come off fairly confident.

As far as being verbally aggressive I am moderate in all three surveys. I think the description: "of a balance between respect and consideration of others' viewpoints..." is how I am. I had to do  the one survey with my mother on the phone and she acted as if i was an angel and wouldn't ever do that. Instead of saying one of the answers, she would say, "NO! My baby would not do that!!!!"

In the listening survey, all three surveys came out to be people oriented. I had a talk with my director about that. She told me that the one thing that I bring to the table is my passion for each child and each parent that walks in the door. She told me that at times when she calls me to the office, it is to just talk something out. "You do not have to say a word. I talk and you listen. You are heart felt with what you have to say in turn of what you heard or just listening lets me talk it out!" She said my parents love me due to the fact I listen and pay attention to what they say and do! It was great feed back to hear!


I think the most important thing I have learned due to these surveys is that who I am is who I am whether i am in my personal aspect of life or my professional. My director who is also a good friend outside of work, told me that I am the way I am in both parts of my life and makes it so easy to be part of both parts of my life.
