Last week we met in the theater in Graff in order to have room to rehearse our flashmob. We rehearsed the flashmob multiple times. We worked on finalizing all details such as meeting time, meeting place, music for the flashmob, sound system, brochures/poster to promote TR, and apparel.
The process of planning the flashmob was very interesting. I learned a lot about different leadership styles within a group. Some people are listeners and will just simply follow what they are told to do whereas others will take the initiative and tell others what the game plan is. I learned that communication within a group is sometimes difficult because of the widespread ideas. I think that overall our group did a great job of planning and rehearsing the flashmob.
I think that this fun event has valuable lessons that can help in my professional development. As I mentioned earlier, it was interesting to observe the different leadership styles within a group. I think that when working on a professional healthcare team in my future it will be important to have group leadership and communication skills.
During this class, I tried to give as much input as I could to help our flashmob. I am known as a planner and tend to think of all details. I picked up quick on learning the flashmob and also gave full effort in every rehearsal. I also listened to the ideas of others and gave input when necessary.
This class was so much fun. I mean really, what's better than dancing for a class? I learned that I am usually shy when talking in front of a group, but I pretty much already knew that about myself. I think that I am not so much shy but rather self-conscious. It also depends on how well I know the people. I think that this is one thing I am constantly trying to work on.
