W3 Reflection

 This week I have been trying or apply what I learn. While I have been trying to train someone on my team, I have found many frustrations and it is making work unpleasant for me. I am someone who is obsessive about my job and so I will not just settle for the mediocracy this individual is giving me. We have had ads out to try and replace them, but we have yet to come across the right match for our team. I have to acknowledge where I have fallen short in training her, so I decided to just start over in this journey with my friend. I’ve honestly been troubleshooting this problem like I did with a tough companion in the mission field.  I am trying it to build a solid foundation with them, of trust and friendship, to keep things light hearted and productive so we still achieve the success we know we can meet in the work place. I’ve reflected a lot on Sheri L Dew’s talk, True Blue, Through and Through. I now have daily huddles with my teammate so we can tackle the day, and days to follow together. We make goals and lists together to accomplish what we need to. I do everything I can to stay true and committed to what I said I would accomplish. I have really been trying to rely on the Lord for his help and guidance as I learn through this. Ive been trying to come from a greater place of love and kindness, instead of anxiety. At the end of the day, if this person doesn’t work out on our team, then so be it. We have given them countless opportunities for them to step up and prove themselves. But now I am making sure I am doing all I can do to help them reach that potential I think I still see in them. I would like to empower them if they will accept this. But I can’t hold their hand forever and sometimes it seems that is their expectation.
