Unfortunately I am rushing through the last few things in order to finish - so re-writing a post is not an option for now!Since taking up a new position in the library last January - I have found that the nature of the job means that I have to reflect on my and other peoples actions. I have learnt never to assume that other people know or understand what I am asking them to do. I have dealt with various issues and dilemmas, and have reflected on the outcomes - both successful and unsuccessful as the case may be, asking myself what I could have done or said in order resolve the issue, or to bring about a satisfactory compromise.
I think this comes with experience and practice - I am quite a calm and patient person, so I think that helps when dealing with various situations, but I do find it hard to express myself sometimes, so if I know something is coming up where I will have to interact, I will note a few things down first - just so that I don't feel I am left looking over the cliff with nothing to say!
I have read a few of the other posts on reflective practice and marvel at the way people are able to express themselves, and is something I aspire too.
