Learning Goals

Leadership - I feel like I need to develop my leadership skills because it would be good to have when I enter the 'real world'. I hope I can achieve this by trying out leadership positions.

Negotiation and compromise - Negotiation and compromise is used pretty much every day when you are making decisions. I think that if I get into situations where I need to negotiate and have compromises I would be able to develop this skill.

How to make small talk - Small talk seems to be very useful when your trying to make the situation that you are in less awkward. If I try to talk to people that I don't know too well, I should be able to practice this.

Melbourne streets - It will be very useful to be able to navigate my way around the city without checking google maps. Hopefully I will be able to do this whilst going around the city during trails.

Divergent thinking - I usually think in one way so I think that it would be good to be able to understand other situations instead of just the one. I think that if I just attempt to think in another way, I will be able to learn this quality.

First aid - It would be great to learn some basic first aid so that I if someone around me gets a small injury, I would be able to perform first aid. I am hoping that I will be able to this whilst the health week.

Confidence - I want to be able to express my opinions without getting to embaressed or nervous about it. If I try to get up and express my opinions more often I would be able to gain more confidence.

Optimism - Optimism is a quality that I need because I am an extremely negative person. I should be able to think optimistically by attempting to think less negatively.

Collaboration - I need to be able to trust the people that I am working in a group with if I am hoping to be able to collaborate with them. I will try to let other people handle the work instead of just doing it mostly by myself.
