Introduction ll Skill-flex Growth

In this section you will find the notes on my time management throughout the year and for this specific output.

For this specific output I had scheduled a brief Advisor meeting that helped me discover a few key elements to include in this output and to develop some of my next steps.  I am using a calendar as a main tool of scheduling my time as well as using the  'plans' tool on the mahara site.  It has helped me keep track of things and hold myself accountable. I could have started to work on it a little bit sooner or pay more attention to it, but I think some of the questions that I had needed to be answered before I could continue forward.  In that time though, I went through and read at least 3 or 4 other associates Learning Reviews and I thought that helped me a great deal.

I feel like overall, my time management throughout the year has been exceedingly well.  I have submitted all of my OP's on time with minimal distress and generated a good piece of work each time.  Once again, I will be submitting this OP exactly when I thought I would be and I only have a few more next steps to be complete with my pre-capstone year.  I think my self-motivation has been a successful tool when it comes to managing my time as well because I want to show people what I have done and make myself and my family proud.

Below I have included timelines to show the progression of  my time management throughout the course of the year.

Here I have gathered the professional skills that I have acquired or built off of throughout my pre-capstone year.  I have taken my skillflex assessment from my LIPD and each individual output after that to create my current skillset xmind.  The xminds are displayed consecutively from LIPD, 2, 3, 4, and lastly Output 5.

Some of these professional skills tend to combine with my peer, personal and project goals. The skills that I have and the skills that I desire to have will help me achieve my highest potential in life.  They will help me: give a public speech (maybe in another language!), organize and facilitate, check-in with others and myself, expand my critical thinking and receiving as well as giving constructive criticism.  I feel like the skills are very well-rounded and can be sought out in many different area.  They can help with building a community, starting a women's group, initiating a gathering, running for the green party, building a garden (especially in the city).  To me those examples are a variety of peer, personal, professional and political pathways I can take with the skill-flexes that I have or desire to achieve.
