Probably going to HR would be a good place to talk things over and get the help to work it out or going to your boss and asking for a meeting with the other person or people?  It’s never good to take it on yourself to address the problem.  This could lead to other actions and problems in the workplace and it could make others feel uncomfortable around you or totally just avoid you.  Doing it on your own could force other in the workplace choose sides and then you went from you and the other person to adding maybe 5-8 other people.

• Keep it professional and go to your boss or HR.
• Don’t let the problem boil.
• Don’t complain to others.
• Be proactive!

I have learned a lot of new information from our group project on Pell Grants.  We are a group of 4 and my contributions are researching on proposed cuts Past and Present, distribution of funding and any other duties to make our project beneficial to our readers.  In the past, I have worked in groups and  found every time is an opportunity for me to grow and learn from others, whether my experiences are negative or positive.  It’s all a learning process to do better the next time I’m in a group.  Personally, I have found working in groups can be difficult at times.  But being here at WCC it’s one of the benefits I will take with me as I move on to UH Manoa.  But I have heard from others already at UH that you’re pretty much on your on and if you don’t care, then who will?

Since October 2015 and every year in October,  students at Windward Community College has held a fundraising event for scholarships.  Our first year we received $80,000.00 and donations continue to climb as more donations pour in, last October 2016 our donations went beyond our goal of $400,000.00.  We deeply appreciate all our donations and share many success stories in our school paper the Ka Ohana, that students are experiencing through your help.  Please help us go beyond our dreams and reach this year’s goal of $750,000.00.  We, the students at Windward Community College are deeply appreciative of everyone that donate towards our education and life successes.

Our Warmest Aloha,

It’s never easy delivering bad news.  I’m not sure even if you’re close with the person or persons involve makes it any easier.  I try at best to put myself in the other persons situation, before saying anything.  And sometimes not saying the obvious is, better, just lending an ear is all they need.  Writing bad news, I would go for the indirect strategy.

Try moving around and choosing others to be in a group with and complete a task together.  So, far I like jumping around and learning from others.  It’s interesting, because it challenges me to keep an open mind, and learn how to communicate effectively, by listening more and sharing our ideas.
