Week 4 integration question

Week 4:Practice/micro: How does your personality reflect and influence how you work with clients and coworkers?

I am very outgoing, and sensitive, as well as extremely positive when I work with other people. By using these skills or traits I try to draw out these same feelings from the client or my coworkers. This can lead to building trust, and then a helping relationship. When I am able to keep people thinking positive, or in positive moods, it opens more room for change, development, or just a pleasant environment.

Another feature of my personality is the caring, empathetic, intuitive, and helping side that picks up on other people’s feelings and moods. Whether it is a friend, coworker, client, family, or a stranger, I am good at reading people around me. This allows me to do a quick assessment of what the person in front of me needs, and what personal tools and knowledge I should use in my interaction with him or her.
