I was interested to see that I am primarily a visual learner and also tend to present content in that way. I will be making an effort to incorporate other styles more. I do try to do "appreciative inquiry" a lot in one on ones by focusing on strengths as a means to work on things that need improvement.

Hi there. I ma so glad to hear we have so many visual learners. I am one of them. Of course, didactics do not bring in visuals all the time, but once material is taught, visual effects can bring the whole story together as a whole.
I realized I am more of a visual learner. I also learned that some of the language I have used in the past could be considered limiting. I will keep that in mind, especially when we are brainstorming. However, I still feel there is an appropriate time to address what didn't work in the past (but also review why and if there have been changes since then that could make the idea work now).
This module teaches you to be a leader with comprehensive conditions, that is, one who is well perceived by others, knows how to motivate employees, transmits confidence and leads to obtaining good results for the organization.
I have learned a lot regarding leadership tool kits. It's important to be empathic, but within certain constraints. It is a strength within itself to know your own weaknesses or ask for help when it is needed.
Good afternoon. I am most excited about what I learned about motivating teams with positive communication strategies, achieving a positive response, and stimulating innovation.
I really enjoyed learning about the affirmative interactions, the AI way of leading. I have never experienced that type of professional environment and I think it would be wonderful to create a working and learning environment like that. Like learning about a dream that someone is actually experiencing.
I learned how appreciative inquiry will be a valuable tool in working out team challenges as well as using it to spark some new creative ideas. Empathic listening is a valuable skill when working with students, faculty, and adminstration. Being able to commit to a conversation by seeking clarity and truly listening are important steps in understanding the person you are speaking with. I am looking forward to trying some of these new tools in my work.
I have learned about different learning styles and how to use them in communication to avoid misunderstandings.
Empathic listening opens up true communication and leaves less room for error when practiced. Being aware of learning styles is important so that imformation can be given in an apporpriate way and removes road blocks of misunderstandings. These are tools that we even need to be conscious of in our everyday relationships and conversations.
I learned several valuable aspects from this module.
Learning Style: I am primarily a visual learner with equal parts of auditory and kinesthetic as secondary.
Emotional Intelligence: I have high emotional intelligence but need to work on pacing myself and do more of the stopping to smell the roses in life.
I also learned more about Appreciate Inquiry and it's role in leadership situations.
Much of this information was sort of review but put into context if that makes sense. Meaning, I knew a lot of this but didn't necessarily know that I knew it or that "it" even had a name.
I look forward to learning more from these lessons.
Knowing one's learning style helps raise empathy when attempting to have workplace conversations about ways to improve or to teach. Additionally, innovation is facilitated by reframing how a topic of focus is addressed. Instead of a negative focus that seeks to target a problem which can lead to defensiveness from the team, appreciate inquiry redirects towards a positive approach of what is working and how to do more of that.
Great Lesson that helped me reflect on how I use and could use emotional intelligence, Innovation and Appreciative inquiry.
I have learened that my streght aand weakness need to be improved on and different ways of outlooks and empathy should be improved on.
Listening, listening empathetically and seeking clarity are very crucial steps in gaining understanding the person you are speaking to and the situation. Leaders need to have emotional intelligence which is self management and realtionship skills in order to communicate effectively. It is best to first understand, then to be understood.
