Recall a time in a co-op placement, a summer job, an internship,a student club, a student team project, etc. when your valuesconflicted with what you were expected to do in a particular,nontrivial decision, and you spoke up and acted to resolve theconflict.
Consider the following and write down your thoughts:
- What did you do, and what was the impact?
- What motivated you to speak up and act? Identify the valuesthat conflicted with what you were expected to do.
- How satisfied are you? How would you like to have responded?(This question is not about rejecting or defending past actions butrather about imagining your Ideal Scenario.)
- What would have made it even easier for you to speak/act?
- Things within your own control
- Things within the control of others
Part 2
Recall a time in a co-op placement, a summer job, an internship,a student club, a student team project, etc. when your valuesconflicted with what you were expected to do in a particular,nontrivial decision, and you did not speak up or act toresolve the conflict.
Consider the following and write down your thoughts:
- What happened, and what was the impact?
- Why didn’t you speak up or act? Identify the values thatconflicted with what you were expected to do.
- How satisfied are you? How would you like to have responded?(This question is not about rejecting or defending past actions butrather about imagining your Ideal Scenario.)
- What would have made it easier for you to speak/act?
- Things within your own control
- Things within the control of others
Compare how your responded to these two situations to draw aconclusion about when you tend to act on your values, and what isnecessary for you to do so
