Alright since this is a free topic blog I'm just going to write about what I'm learning in my book.
I'm reading How to Win Friends and Influence people. It's so interesting to me how many things you can learn about how to better your interactions with people. I thought it was basically common sense in learning how to deal with others, but there's so much to learn. The book has talked about learning not to criticize others, because it won't ever make the situation better. I've also learned that when you are in a leadership position and you want people to do things, you should help them want to do it. This means putting it into terms that relate to the person and making it important to them. I've learned a lot of techniques for bettering my relationships with others that will be helpful throughout my life.

  1. Jenessa,

    Your last few posts have been great. I appreciate your time in exploring your thoughts. One comment on how to maybe make them better would be to apply it to a current situation in your life - for a good example see Brandt's post from this last week.

    See you this afternoon!
