Step 1 – Description This should be a brief description of the experience or event to set the scene and give context.

It was negative because some groupo members were confrontational. Example is Some group members were annoyed at the non-attendance of some group members and was being very rude, with personal insults . Step 2 – Feelings Consider what you were thinking and how you felt before the experience. How did you feel during the experience? How did you feel after the experience? This is another short descriptive step, rather than being analytical. Before this experience, my previous experience of taking part in group projects had a short time limit and so it was important that all group members assigned specific roles with deadlines set. I therefore thought that this experience would be similar, but it was not because there were different personalities, with different approaches. were short and my view on the group members were favourable. However, l thought that the group members were non-empathetic, judgemental to the other group members. At that time, I felt uncomfortable because I liked the group members who the comments were about. used were offensive. I felt after the experience upset at the inconsideration of some group members. I was aware that I had to use my emotional resilience by listening, not getting involved or contributing to this negative situation. I also had to develop my emotional resilience because I thought that this occasion may arise again in this project.

I learned of my self-worth, that my contribution to the project is just as important and just as valid as any other group member. I learned that I can deal with group members who were difficult to work with Step 5 – Conclusion Focus on what you have learned. Are there any skills you developed as a result of the experience? If so, how would you apply them in future experiences or situations? Are there areas of knowledge or skills you now need to develop from this positive experience? Is there anything you would do differently in the future? Try to give specific examples. What I would do differently is to be more flexible and adaptable in my interaction with group members. I learned of group dynamics and how personalities in group are different to those group members outside of the project. I learned how I personally deal with group tensions, by not taking it personally. As a result of this I learned that I have emotional resilience (use Daniel Goleman ‘Emotional Intelligence’ quote). I learned thst I use coping mechanism to deal with stressful situations.
