myself in meetings and group interactions, and how to create a better version of myself with stress.

counseling group may seem simple, but it’s not. A “major issue in putting a group together is screening it for potential members” (Gladding, pg. 212). The reason it can be a complicated task to complete is because members are not always volunteers. Screening members for a “group counseling session, is a three step process” (Gladding, pg. 212). We’ll discuss how these steps are an important component of having a successful group. The Screening Process When a counselor begins a group, there are
Process Evaluation of a Group Describe and discuss a group that you were part of that has ended. “A process evaluation is an assessment, generally by group members, as to aspects of the group that were useful or detrimental.

Group Process Reflection 1/24 In our first session we defined what a group is. Consensus was reached that a group had to be more than two people, have a shared goal, and that the members of the group have interdependence. We looked at examples of groups such as family or work groups, and brainstormed a scenario where people at a bus stop witness an accident and how they can become a group as the help the injured person. One person might call 911 and another gets a coat to cover victim, as more people
Through the process of this class I have been able to reflect and analyze how I am as a leader as well as a co-leader in a group setting. I believe throughout this process of being part of a group as a member and leader has help me further define the roles that I will play in group counseling in the future. The evolution that I am seeing are an abundance of growth in areas that I thought I was already comfortable in such as being an active listener and co-leading. I see that there are more to becoming

A decision is made based on the preferences and values of the person or group making the decision. The process should produce a final choice that could in fact be a call to action or not.

I decided to observe the group process of the characters in the movie, “Remember the Titans”. The movie takes place in Alexandria, Virginia, where high school football is a big deal to everyone in the town. The students of T.C. Williams were used to being an all white school. After hearing the big decision that the school board had made, the students and people of the town have to get used to the major change of integrating blacks into the school, and having an integrated football team as well.
Describe what happens in each of the five project management process groups (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing). Initiating a process is where the project begins. The tasks that are part of the initiation process are to identify and understand the project stakeholders, creating the project charter and holding a kick-off meeting. The project stakeholders are usually the project sponsor, the project team, the support staff and the internal customers. The
I absolutely loved making a video of my group and me dancing. I thought this choreography project was an ideal group project for our class to take on. Not only did I learn about a couple of things about my classmates, and myself I also learned about dance in general. Below, I am going to talk about what was our inspiration, what I thought was difficult, what I enjoyed about re-making our dance, and the process of making the piece. My group and I found inspiration with the start of our location.

methodologies considering the organization and project goals. The PMBOK® Guide has some standard practices which are followed by project managers. It provides five process groups.

3,000 different interest groups that are formally recognized by the European Union (Kirchner 2011).

covered this semester but there were only a selected few that caught my attention. Those four things I learned this semester that caught my attention were: the productivity theory, the slowest worker theory, the assign and on-duty approach, and the process of making a prosthetic body part.

For example, if a company has an output

requires working with a group. This semester I was informed that one of our grades was a group project in which we had to present to our fellow classmates on our assigned topic. My group received a topic that asked if advertisement was informational or manipulative. We utilized certain skills that helped us slowly create our points and presentation; some of the skills used were planning, time management, and giving and receiving feedback.
