Professional Communication and Leadership in
Healthcare (C820) – Reflection Paper
A. Reflect on your experience in the Leadership and Communication course by doing
the following:
1. Provide a brief overview of your understand of your energy graph from the
learning report, including two personal strengths and two personal challenges
that relate to your work style.
My working style that relates to the 5 dynamics energy map shows that I am effortless
in Explore, have stress in excite, I am effortless in examine, and I am deliberate in
execute. I consider myself an independent thinker. I spend most of my time asking
myself the questions “why?” and “how?” on what I read, see, and hear. I believe my
strengths based on my learning report is being precise and factual. Everything must
have a proper place. I consider myself a very hesitant decision maker, and I don’t like
to be rush or pushed into action. I believe the energy graph from the learning report is
very accurate because everything I own has a place of their own, even household
items. Another strength I have is being a creative thinker. I reach and pull data and
, 2
concepts into an idea web, which I then process the information all together, come to
a conclusion, then I organize my thoughts into the perfect decision I think is best.
According to my report I have stress when it comes to excite, so a personal challenge
that I reflected on while reading my energy graph from the learning report must be
becoming tense and drained if there is a great demand for energy over a long time.
This affects me I can’t perform intensively over time without feeling stressed. I also
got deliberate in execute so another challenge I have is requiring some effort to
maintain the energy needed to force action, accountability, and task competition. I
find it extremely difficult to maintain focus when I find material to be repetitive or
just does not challenge me.
2. Describe your experience of conversations as they relate to the laws of
conversation and the four levels of the conversation meter.
I had an experience of the cycle of waste a few years ago with friends in a group
project. We were working on Erikson stages of development. Everyone was doing
their part, except this one girl who was always late to our group, never put her part
into. The project so everyone else needed to do double the work. Until the day before
we had to present our project, and she was talking to everyone about all the hard work
that she put into the project, when in fact she didn’t put any work in. I felt so upset
about the situation, and I needed to talk to her. In my opinion, our conversation did
not end up so well, she talked in the level of pretense, and I communicated in the
level of sincerity. She had an offensive behavior, and just kept making excuses about
why she didn’t put in the work. If our conversation would’ve happened in the levels
