Task 1: Interprofessional Communication and Leadership in Healthcare
September 26, 2022
Part One: Working Style
1.
My 5 dynamic report showed that I scored extreme in Execute, effortless in Examine, and
deliberate in Explore and Excite. 2.
My Working Style self assessment indicated that my strengths Execute and Examine which indicated that I excelled in time management and organization. Some of my weakness were Excite and Explore which included coming up with ideas and staying focused. I think it’s a very accurate statement that I need to move through learning material just fast enough for me to learn it, before moving on to the next task. I am a goal oriented person. In order for me to be successful, I need to set short and long term goals to accomplish in a timely and realistic manner. My 5 dynamic assessment indicated that I view myself as a high achieving learner and that I value my education because I feel that it allows me to move up in my career, and increase my self worth and value. Learning information can also be a challenge for me. My learning report indicated that I learn best by getting the “jist” or to keep it in a “nutshell”. I rarely focus on unnecessary details unless I find that that information will be necessary in my education or life at some point.
I think the best example of this in my real life was when I was studying to become a nurse. Simple Nursing videos were a lifesaver for me because the videos were short
enough to keep me interested and they provided me with all the information that I needed
to know.
3.
For a teammate, or someone to work with I think it is important for them to excel in Excite and Explore as those are areas that I lack in. I believe that working with someone who excels in those areas will be able to provide a lot of ideas and energy that will allow us to complete a project to the best of our ability.
Part Two: Communication
4.
A. Recently my best friend wanted to talk about her doctorate program and issues that had arise that jeopardized her relationship with her instructor and made her doubt her willingness and ability to complete the program. Our conversation first started out right away with accuracy and authenticity as she has been someone that I have been close with for half of my life and when she starts to talk I automatically become engaged in everything she has to say. She is someone that I really care about and feel the need to reciprocate the favor with as she has been there for me in times or trouble and hardship. So at the minimum I feel the need to be there for her when she may be going through trouble and hardship in her life. Compassion of the Ladder of listening inspires and enhances our conversation. So, when she talks, I am an active listener with an open body and allowing her the chance to talk before I contribute. I also ask questions that get her to
elaborate on her feelings to help her develop solutions to her problems, which creates this
cycle of value.
B. When I actively listen, I find that I end up having an open body language and I am not concerned with time but instead more concerned and interested in what is being said to me. I retain information and I am better at connecting the dots in the conversation and
understanding that persons emotions. When I actively listen, I use an open body language, ask questions that elaborate on that persons emotion about the situation, and I rephrase or summarize what was being said to me.
C. Active listening is an extremely important skill that I believe nearly all people have mastered. When you’re an active listener, you build strong relationships with others around you. I don’t think you need to be actively listening with all people but people should actively listen to those that they want to build their relationship with.
5.
A. Earlier, my sisters and I had a conversation about how they were uncomfortable meeting my new boyfriend because I do not talk about him. I was offended and I felt I started with authenticity because I tried to understand their viewpoint. When I couldn’t find logic behind any of there reasoning for how they were feeling, my engagement in the
conversation decreased to sincerity and then to pretense. I became more offended especially when they refused to let me get a word in the conversation. Frankly, I am not ready to share intimate details of my relationship with him with anyone, and now knowing that this is how my sisters feel about him, makes me more hesitant for him to be
around my family and share details about our relationship. In this case I feel that this conversation diminished my relationship with my sisters from something that was authentic to pretense.
B. There are times that I struggle to advocate for myself. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people, who can come up with quick responses to defend my viewpoint. I need time
to think of a response. When I know a fight is going to happen, I think of my responses a head of time for what I believe the other party may say. But when I am ambushed, I typically don’t know how to respond. When I had this fight with my sisters recently, I

was too stunned to speak at first. When I tried to advocate, I was nervous and insecure, and was flowing with too many emotions to be aware of all at once.
C. I tend to speak with a very soft and sweet voice. I can typically be easily understood by nearly everyone. I think its obvious to see that I’m passionate about something because there is more excitement in my tone of voice. At times, some people take my tone of voice to be too confident even though I may feel the exact opposite. 6.
My preferred communication style is to keep an open body posture, use restatement or paraphrasing so that the person talking knows that I am engaged and to ask questions related to the subject matter. I feel that when I ask questions, and restated it tells the person who is talking that I am actively listening and engaged in the conversation. I think
it also gives the impression that I care about what they have to say, and that I am authentic in my intentions. An example of my authenticity in a conversation was when my one friend who was struggling with her mentor in her doctorate programed called me to vent about the situation at hand and asked for advice. During this conversation, I helped her identify her feelings and offer plausible solutions based off the actions of her mentor.
7.
Some of the new communication tools that I plan to use or implement are being more engaged with my body language, being attentive, continue to restate or summarize what is being said, and overall show engagement in the conversation by asking questions as they pertain to the current conversation. These communication tools will add value to the conversation and create a cycle of value. Creating a cycle of value helps build and strengthen relationships and makes it clear to who you are talking with what your intentions are.
Part Three: Reflection/ Hero’s Journey
8.
A. This course helped my become more aware of different communication techniques and viewpoints and helped me identify areas that lacked in my relationships with some people based off the type of conversation we engage in typically. This course helped me validate where I stand in some people’s mind and how they value our relationship vs how
I value the relationship.
B. One of the more challenging parts of this course was “opening up” and being myself with strangers in a zoom call. I tend to be shy at first, so “opening up” quickly and sharing what I considered to be intimate details about myself at times was hard for me. C. One of the more valuable parts of this class was using the communication tools, as well as the cycle of value, and the conversation meter, to get a better understanding of my
current relationships and what was lacking in them. One example of this was that before this class, I always believed that I was close with my sisters because I was told that they are family and by default I must be close with them. After this class and using these communication tools to analyze our relationship, I realized that our relationship is extremely weak especially in comparison to the relationship that I have with my friends which would be considered extremely authentic.
9.
A couple of ways that I can help my family and friends and whoever else this may concern is to demonstrate active listening. In the situation with my sisters, I think it would be more helpful to stay engaged in the conversation, even if it becomes hurtful to me because it may help them identify my feelings in a more authentic way, rather then becoming dismissive and putting up barriers between us. Additionally, I believe it to be helpful to ask them more questions about their own feelings that way it may be easier for
them to understand why they are feeling the way they feel, and I can understand better as well. 10. Something that I plan to maintain is using active listening skills to work on my relationships with my friends and my family. I plan to sustain effective communication by keeping an open body posture, maintaining eye contact, keeping a calm voice, asking questions, and restating or rephrasing what the other person is trying to say.
11. One of the areas of communication that I can develop is to be more empathetic as well as sympathetic towards other feelings and ask questions to understand why exactly they feel
the way that they do. By doing this I feel like I will be able to build a stronger relationship because the conversation will be more authentic. Lastly, another area that I can develop is by being more aware of my own emotions and biases before entering a conversation. Being open-minded and self-aware will also help make my conversations more authentic and genuine because I will not be “shutting down” other lifestyles, ideas want, needs or emotions within their life.
