My main concern was that it would be hard to gather the five of us together to get the work done; I was also concerned that 5 people trying to get across different ideas may lead to arguments, or people feeling pushed out. However, looking back these concerns were not a big deal, we worked very well together as group and I feel everyone had significant input of ideas for creating

The members of this psychoeducational group were selected on their common interest of becoming
My most recent small group experience was at the beginning of my new job working for Capital One. I was in training to become a fraud account supervisor. Within training my trainer instructed our class to present a product to market towards consumers.

Then, my teammates and I came up with the idea to sell custom designed cupcakes. The name of or product was called Cutie Cupcakes

I am reflecting on the presentation I did on homelessness and things I have learned through my group work and presenting the PowerPoint.

deliberative dialogue assignment, a few qualities of our group really stood out to me. One was how quickly we went through the stages of group development.

The way in which we were led allowed us to express our opinions
