Takeaways:

In order to be an effective leader in my own nonprofit, I'm really going to have to overcome my non-confrontational status. One of the group activities we had to do was act out a situation in which a conversation between a manager and an employee turned negative and petty. I'd never been in a situation like that before, so I had no idea what to really say or do. Good thing there were 3 other people at my table who were really good at play acting. LOL.

The minute I read the scenario, my instinct was to distance myself. I automatically didn't want to do it and hoped that one of my other table mates would volunteer. Luckily they did. It just really made me see how lucky I've been.

And how much I need to improve on certain things.
