Hi, I think the course is very good, because we learned how to handle the crisis, from identification, to how to resolve conflicts.

Great read!!

After doing this seminar I have leaned to work on myself and to see the bigger picture. I should always keep goals in mind and to make sure I am the best employee I can be for my school, staff, students, and myself. It is important to take a step back and assess yourself to see if you the best fit at the position

I chose to do this tutorial because I feel like I could manage my stress better and I know the cosmetology field can result in burn out very easily. There were some good tips that help distinguish burn out. It can happen to anyone and it is important to manage stress before it gets to that point.

This is my favorite tutorial I have taken so far! I loved it! I learned a lot about honestly assessing myself. There are always ares to improve and I thought the information was helpful. I especially liked the portion about supervisors setting the tone for the rest of the employees/students. It reminded me to always present myself in a positive way. This example alone can help contribute to a positive work place.

It is all about attitude and how you portray yourself and how others perceive you. No one is perfect but a good working relationship among co-workers is the first step towards a better working environment.

A few simple key issues to be addressed and implemented are;

A good communications network

A better understanding of one another

Transparency with accounting

Very helpful

looking and focusing on why we are here brings us back to what our commitment was to ourselves and the work we are supose to accomplish

Great infomation!

as someone that is in a higher position you need to set examples for others to learn from you . You need to know how to handle stress at work and not take credit for something that you haven't done and encourage your other employes for the ideas that they came up with so they would start working better And set examples for others .

Being aware of how your actions are an example to those around you is very important. It is very easy to not think about this when you feel very busy, but it is true that you lead by example. Hopefully, it is a good one! That is what I aspire too.

I found the exercise quite helpful.  It confirmed much of what we already know about success but often do not practise.  It served, therefore, as a motivator.  

Stress affects each of us in different ways. The more stressed out we are the more vulnerable we are to colds, flu, and a host of chronic or life-threatening illnesses. And the less open we are to the beauty and pleasure of life.

I learned to basically follow the old addage--'It is far better to err on the side of compassion than justice."

You never quite know for sure what people are going through and you don't want to make the situation worse for them and possibly for yourself as a manager/leader.

The caution, however, is to have back-up plans to get the work completed despite the obstacles.

I will strive to keep myself up to date on recent policy changes and understand them so I can pass them on to others.

I learned that people lead by example and has given me some insight on how I can improve myself.

What I have learned most from this tutorial is that the best and most effective managers lead by example.  This means that they practice good work habits, and show their employees how to be effective workers. 

After going through the tutorial, I was able to establish a definite need for formal training within our company.  Especially for me as it pertains to my job as a coordinator.  It is important to make sure that all employees receive proper training in order to effectively carry out their work within their job duties.

When I know I have important tasks that I don't like to do I make sure to schedule a specific time to do them. I also plan a reward for when I'm finished-it can be a few minutes of free time to do something fun, having a sweet treat, etc.  The anticipation of the reward can help push you through to the end.

Time management can be a hard area to master for most individuals. ML135 is a great course because it provides information on practical steps and applications of time mananagement that not only an individual can use but also those that manage groups or teams. Working as a manager, I am now more effective and productive due to the knowledge and skills I have learned through the course. When applied, the time management tools and tips can help put a team on the right track and increase the likelyhood of meeting organizational goals in a timely manner. Fail to plan, plan to fail.
