Day Nine- University College of Dublin

Moving Day!  Today we moved from our hotel in downtown Dublin to the dorms on the University College of Dublin.  



Once we arrived at the college we sat through a series of guest lectures that Jan Rutherford (our professor) put together. 

At one point the class was discussing adversity they had all faced in places they had worked. As I sat there trying to figure out a situation where I had faced adversity in my work place.  I couldn't.  

Where I work now (Colorado Insurors Service Inc.; http://www.coloradoinsurors.com/ ) everyone is open and honest with each other. 

  • If someone seems to be falling behind another person steps in to see how they can help.
  • Mike Gallagher (President) shares the companies gains and losses with everyone, in fact he has me put the reports together.
  • Once a month Mike takes us all out to lunch where we take time to ask about everyone's lives. 
  • We celebrates everyone's birthday.
  • If we are frustrated with anything in the company no one hesitates to step forward and state their issues and pose solution. 
  • Everyone is always asking for input on things they are doing and no one puts the other off when asked for input/help. 
The company is great.  I love working there because it is showing me what a functioning company looks like with employees who are adverse to drama and politics.

I hope to take all lessons I have learned here and have yet to learn and apply them to my future workings as a way to avoid certain problems.
