Skills I would like to
develop:
- Effective Problem-solving
- Assertiveness
- Mediating
- Persuasion
- Teaching
- Confidence
- Verbal Communication
- Teamwork
These skills can be applied and practiced in my home and other everyday encounters. Here are some specific
ways I can develop them:
- Assess the root cause of issues that arise in relationships, equally discuss issue and possible solutions, compromise or come to agreement on solution.
- Volunteer my opinion, feelings, and ideas when they are different from others. This requires knowing what I feel, think, and want.
- Give eye-contact when speaking to others.
- Ask for help when I need it.
- When observing a conflict, I will practice keeping a neutral view, and remain fair.
- I will try to demonstrate confidence when I speak, so I may be more persuasive.
- I will actively seek out opportune moments to teach others about something I may know. (My son, my husband, or other adults).
- I will talk more at the dinner table with my family instead of sitting in front of the TV. I will discuss my day, etc.
- Address and communicate issues, worries, etc. in my relationships when they arise, rather than letting them slide by.
- I will engage myself in group activities when they arise. I will join in at family functions instead of sitting off to the side and observing.
- I will try things I’ve always hesitated to try before.
- I will master a task that I have failed at before, and gain more confidence (example: some nasty failed recipes!).
