Summary
Committed to assisting individuals in obtaining a goal or skill they wish to accomplish. Creating a positive rapport with individuals is just the first step. In assisting to work toward, varied pieces of problem solving would be used. I foster the encouragement and demonstration of use with learning and using skills already in place to bring the new techniques to light. In the same area my learning area is constantly growing by new techniques learned and taught. I want to assist in learning and effectively using these skills both in a group setting and separately. I work well with others to "think outside the box" as well as individually.
