Describe three different ways that you have made your love for students you lead visible through work you have done.
- I am a words of affirmation person, so I strive write notes to those I lead to tell them how much I appreciate the time they are spending serving in BYUSA.
- I try to spend time outside of the office with each of the BYUSA presidency members. It has made a huge difference in our relationships as I have come to get to know them as people in other settings.
- I have been trying to get to know the coordinators better by asking about how they are doing. I think a little time can go a long way.
Dean Heperi talked about the importance of truly loving those you work with enough to help them improve. Please describe a time when you have had to help someone by having a difficult conversation about their need for improvement. Please identify what things you said that helped you in this experience.
I had a difficult conversation with one of my Vice Presidents about something that needed to be improved. It was really tough. Honestly, I probably didn't communicate as well as I probably should have. I wish I would have had my thoughts better organized. That said, it was good for us both to be more open and communicate how we actually feel. During the conversation, I was able to share how much I care about this person and how proud I am of their work. We both left feeling so much better.
