Topic: B.E7 Notes to Self – Mind Your Ego, A practitioner’s experiences and guide to self when working with different stakeholders
Synopsis: The title of this book is meant to be intentional and honest. My story will bring us through the learning and adjustments I had to make for myself each time I work with different individuals, parents and professionals over the years. Working with different professionals, learning to be a teamplayer from the time I was a teacher, a psychologist in a special education school, a trainer/consultant to my present role, as a key worker working with caregivers of persons with disabilities.
Regardless of whomever I had to engage with, there had been times when I had to remind myself to hold off judgment which is not the easiest thing to do. Even if I succeed in holding back any judgment in what I say outwardly, the challenge is to continue to do this especially in my mind & heart.
The last 28 odd years have been a ride that continues to surprise me, pique my interests, at times can be emotional and insecure but I do try to confront these head-on. I am still learning to accept my nuggets of successes but I am ever willing to make the changes needed, so I can continue to learn and grow even to the present day.
