Q2

There are many times when professional communication is difficult. When we need to share information or manage a sensitive topic, conflict or share a criticism how we communicate can make all the difference.a) Choosing an example that exemplifies NOT being civil that you have observed or experienced,explain why it was not civil/appropriate and suggest ways the situation could have been handled differently. Note what actions could have been engaged to diffuse the situation and model civility in the fact of hostility. Be sure to change names for confidentiality.

Q3

Lets discuss what it means to enter someone else’s story….not just being a Child Life Specialist, but being a part of someone else’s story rather than our own during the most challenging of times.  Child Life isn’t easy, and maintaining the balance of professional boundaries and self care can be challenging!  Keep in mind that when we do enter the stories of others, we are a part of their experience and need to maintain that focus on THEIR experiences.  How will you maintain the focus on the child’s and family’s experiences rather than your own?  What have you done, or how do you hope to maintain the focus on the family’s needs during the most challenging of moments?  What boundaries do you think will be most beneficial to maintaining a professional role in child life?  And how did/would you maintain your own self care after stepping away from the situation?

Q4 topic: Enhancing Athletic Performance Through Smart Nutrition Tracking and Personalized Recovery Plans  

Option 03 Option 03 Physical Activities and Lifestyle Behaviors) this week has you contemplate previous coursework regarding how physical activities and healthy lifestyle behaviors can promote physical and mental wellness in a manner that is directly related to your capstone topic.

Benefits of Physical Activity) and share how these concepts directly relate to your capstone project. Temptations to lead a sedentary lifestyle combined with overindulgence of nutrient-poor foods and other poor habits such as related to technology often lead to health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, cancer, sleep disorders, etc. Adopting healthy lifestyle habits is often more challenging than initially anticipated with sustainable fitness and dietary practices often taking time to show tangible results which causes many to search for a quick fix.

Q12

Discuss the key elements of positive and proactive communications that are missing in the below scenario and any other aspects of the situation you feel need to be corrected (and why). Also, complete any tasks within the scenario

(A). One-on-one supervisor with employees
Your peer (a first-line supervisor at a major retail store) is conducting a performance evaluation of a subordinate in the break room, where numerous other employees are eating lunch. Your peer is raising their voice and noticeably frustrated with the employee. The employee is attempting to defend their position but it is obvious your peer will not let them get a word in edge-wise. You notice numerous other employees shaking their heads. You decide to approach your peer (also a friend) and address what you saw. What do you say?

(B). Supervisor to a team
You are a team member on a major project for a defense contractor. Your supervisor has just called an “urgent meeting” to discuss the current problems with the project’s progress. The project is months behind and slightly over budget. Most people feel it is due to the lack of resources (your project is the third priority). The meeting is in 30 minutes and you have no additional details as to the meeting content. Your supervisor routinely calls meetings with little or no warning and then expects various employees to brief their portions of the project. When employees cannot brief their sections, the meeting is often canceled and rescheduled for after normal working hours to allow “time to better prepare (words of your supervisor).” You have had enough; you decide to email your supervisor and recommend a better way to conduct the meeting.

(C). Supervisor with a manager.
You are the manager of a department at the local shipyard. You have 7 supervisors that work for you and run the day-to-day operations of your six divisions. One of your supervisors continually disrupts planning meetings to discuss personal problems within their division. They dominate the meeting time and often no one else gets to talk. You have talked to him and counseled him several times about the proper time and place to discuss the specific division and worker problems. Your friend (a manager of another department) recommends that your move the supervisor to a less challenging division or have the meeting without him. What are you going to do? How? Why?
