Introduction
Before you attempt this task, you are required to complete the D235 Interprofessional Communication and Leadership in Healthcare course. This task relies on the completion of the 5 Dynamics assessment.
In this task, you will be expected to submit a three-part reflection paper. The reflection paper will help you focus on your experience and insights from the course. This paper includes what you have experienced and learned about the results of your individual 5 Dynamics Assessment and what it revealed about your personal working style; how you work with others; insights you have gained regarding conversations and interactions you have with friends, family, coworkers, and others; as well as your plans for the future.
The first part of your paper will focus on your working style and what you have learned about how you work with others. The second part of the paper will focus on your experience with the different levels of communication explored in the course. The third part of your paper will focus on your overall course experience, your journey through this course, and what you plan to do with the skills you have learned.
The intent of this paper is to reflect on your learning experiences in the course. You should first complete a publish of the paper and then finalize the submission with additional insights.
Be concise, clear, and authentic in your writing. Use the paper to explore your experience, consolidate insights, and start thinking about how you will use the course to improve your chances for success in the future.
