Teamwork
1. Which one do you prefer and why: teamwork or working alone?
I enjoy working in groups because working in groups solves more difficulties and
produces better results by brainstorming each individual's opinion or ideas and
then collaborating on the answers for better results. Furthermore, successful
teamwork with coworkers minimizes workload and stress, especially if everyone
on the team is a team player. Especially that I’m working in a medical field, the
best results comes from a team work with other medical staffs. However, issues
like people who aren't responsible and cooperative could arise in group work. As
a result, for a team to work well, each member needs to contribute and perform
the duties assigned.
2. How important are team events for you?
Team events are very essential to me; activities such as team building play a
crucial role in every company/ establishment. It can help coworkers get to know
each other both personally and professionally, it brings employees closer and
makes them respect each other, and this leads to improved performance at work,
as people in the company learn how to collaborate with each other to solve a
dilemma rather than debating or building issues with each other.
In my experience, after a team building event, I became closer to my coworkers.
We learned about one other's limitations and talents and were able to assist each
other at work as a result. We even became close friends and occasionally went
out to have fun, every time we had a day off. So, yes I do believe that team event
plays an important role.
3. Tell me how you would overcome a situation where a team is doing badly
because members aren’t getting along.
In reality, this type of issue happens in every workplace; it might not happen
always, but there are times when it does. And the first thing I would do is learn or
know the cause of the conflict—the reason why the conflict started—in order to
think of a possible solution, instead of jumping to conclusions. And it’s best to
listen to both perspectives, but honestly, this could be difficult to do due to ego.
And if ever I am involved with the conflict, I usually swallow my pride and take the
initiative to approach and confront the problem and come up with a solution,
especially if the work is already being harmed by the conflict. Most importantly,
I’m a nurse, and having conflicts during work time is not healthy, it might put
patients in danger. Instead of focusing on patient care and working as a team,
other staff might not help because of their avoidance of the other person that
they’re in conflict with.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Psychologist’s advice to depression/ anxiety attack:
During therapy sessions, experts help you to recognize the following:
 Life events that causes or triggers the depression/ anxiety.
 Help you find ways to accept the past.
 Guide you to have realistic goals for the future
 Skills or things that you could do to cope up with symptoms if
depression/ anxiety attacks you.
** Some of the advice I remember:
1. Write down or list down all of the things for which you are grateful in your life.
And when depression is triggered, read it out loud to yourself. After that, you'll
remember and realize that even if you are going through that feeling, there are
things for which you are grateful; there's more to life than just your problems.
2. Do not be ashamed to ask for help, this world is a place where we can get help.
3. Be good to yourself and be patient with yourself. Do not rush or pressure yourself
to get over the situation. Give yourself time to go through the grieving process,
recovery, etc.
4. Do something productive instead of remaining at home and sleeping all day.
Make an effort to move your body. Take walks, exercise, visit and talk to a friend,
do something you used to enjoy, learn something new, and so on...
- Because if you do nothing, you will experience increased anxiety and
depression. More negativity/ negative thoughts will enter your mind.
5. If ever you are feeling that there's no way out of your troubles and the only way to
end them is by ending your life, think of the consequences of what you are doing,
which is depriving yourself of happiness, and realize how beautiful life is.
