Feedback

I learned the it is acceptable to get tohers feedback when making difficult decisions

Yoga helps on the week-ends :)

This program allows the manager to understand how to work better and to set example. After taking this tutorial, I have learned that the majority of my stress does comes from factors outside of work and ultimately affets performances. This allows me to do things that are stress free and stress reducing on the week-end or after work. I will impliment stress relieving exercises in my personal life in order for me to be a better team leader.

"The Case for Formal Training"

A very clear explaination of the benefits of (especially oonline) training.

Action Plan

After taking this tutorial, I have learned that the majority of my stress comes from factors outside of work, but they affect my performance AT work. I intend to implement stress reducing stratagies at home, including waking up earlier and going for walks in order to start my days with a de-stresser and then provide myself with more time to get my domestic responsibilities accomplished so that my stress level does not carry over from my home into my job.

 This actually gave me some new ideas of things to try.  I have been feeling burn out in one of my jobs, but I think I just need to change my attitude, and focus when I am there.  I need to compartmentalize my jobs, and not let them cross paths with each other.  Keep them separated so they don't overwhemlm me, and continue to set time aside for myself and my family.  I would like to pick up a new interest or hobby as well.

Handling Stress & Preventing Burnout

This really helped me understand that we have two kinds of stress, we have positive stress and negative stress. Without possitive stress we would not be able to continue and have motivation. If you feel like you are about to burn out try new things, change careers or try something new. Like take up a new sport or activity. Great things learned from the tutorial.

Getting Along With Your Boss

This had a lot of great reminders for me about the stresses that a boss has and to be mindful of those stresses. When problems arise do what you can to help minimize the situation before going to the boss. Bosses appreciate creative problem solvers! I learned that it is just as importnant to be a good follower as it is to be a good leader. know when to step up and take the lead and then be willing to step back down.

Formal Training is a MUST

Most of us dread formal training because it can seem like a waste of time, it can be boring, or because we simply don't like change. What I loved about this tutorial is that it addressed all those things. The biggest thing was learning how to motivate the trainee to want to change. We need to give positive reinforcement and make sure the trainee knows there will be a payoff!

Positive and Negative Stress

I liked this tutorial becase it reminds me that I need to step back and not let the things that I can not control control me, which I think that I tend to do from time to time.  I was at the high end of the scale on the self stress test, which tells me that I still need to work on bringing my stress level down.

Self Assessment

I liked this tutorial because it is a good reminder that I need to periodically stop and give myself a self assessment to make sure that I am doing everything to the best of my ability and that I can translate those practices on to my students.  

Communication

I need to effectvely communicate my goals.

More than I thought.

I need to take a closer look at my stress management techniques. Also need to learn to say No sometimes.

Sometimes training is just training

This actually felt beneficial.  It included concepts with citations for further research, and I found it quite interesting.

 

I found it short enough to not feel like just another training session we have to complete, and interesting enough to keep me actually reading.
