Conflict Resolution....and Our Groups Success

GOMO - Get Over It and Move On

http://www.execstrategies.com/Facilitator/ConflictResolutionStrategies.htm

I found this to be a really interesting conflict resolution strategy. It is one I like to use a lot. The first thing I always ask myself during a conflict is "Is this really worth arguing over." Often times I realize that it is really not worth it and its best for me to just accept it and move on. This is a great way to prevent a small little argument from turning into a big fight. The website calls it "It’s a powerful secret that needs telling for resolving daily conflicts." I think this is very true and a great way to make your day less stressful.

I also wanted to say that I thing our Field Day was a success....
I think that our Service Learning project went great. Everyone did an awesome job of playing with the kids and keeping them entertained. We definitely had a lot of obstacles throughout our project and many things changed by the club but I think everything turned out really well. Even though the weather didn't allow us to have the field day outside we were still able to carry out all our activities. I think we did a great job of allowing the kids to pick the activities they wanted to do play and really making the field day all about them having fun. It seemed like the kids really like having us there and the adults really appreciated having adults to interact with the kids. Overall I think that we worked great as a group and made it through all the conflicts that arose with no problem. Great job everyone.
