Rosa and Monesa came up with a great story about Tom and Jerry and how eventually the less helpful (more scared) person ended up using their body to stop the leak, thus creatively using both participants to solve the problem. Bobbi and Angelia came up with a great story that suggested that sometimes we make problems worse by not really considering the circumstances as the two men tried to find a way to survive, not realizing they were only in five feet of water and could stand in the water. We then discussed each individual document submitted on Sunday and reviewed changes needed. Also discussed specific guidelines for goals and objectives. Group then worked on survey and refining documents.
First round - Bobbi - Green and Black, Vicki - white and yellow,
Angelia - Blue and Red. Vicki started out as the white hat and they
discussed using the money for the community - giving the money away
- Bobbi suggested more research and Vicki suggested doing more
research to see how the organization would use the money. Bobbi
came up with the idea of a block party. Bobbi suggested holding
some money back to providing food for block party - Vicki thought
that was creative and would draw out more people. Angelia asked for
other ideas besides donation. Bobbi and Vicki emphasized knowing
how the organizations are going to use the money -Bobbi suggested
some guidelines for organization on how they would like the
organization to spend the money.
Second round - Angelia - red and black, Bobbi, yellow and green,
Vicki - white and blue. Vicki started again as white hat. Angelia
suggested proceeding with caution . Bobbi thought a shopping spree
was okay but they would need to agree what they were shopping for,
and the money should benefit them. Vicki thought they needed more
information about how they thought the money could be spent with all
of them using the money. Bobbi thought about idea of a group
vacation because that way they would not be splitting the money.
Bobbi further suggested a conference. Vicki thought that might work
but might not cost $10,000. Talked about specific of vacation and
whether to invite instructors. Bobbi suggested Vegas. Bobbi
suggested something closer and Vicki thought they would look into
renting a fifteen passenger van. Vicki thought it could be done with
a lot more information. Bobbi thought it would benefit a lot of
people, although they did play with idea of cruise to the Bahamas.
Bobbi suggested extending stay past conference and Vicki thought
they needed more information.
Third round - Angelia - Black and green, Bobbi - white and yellow,
Vicki - Blue and red . Vicki focused n wanting to have fun, being
stressed out this semester. Angelia struggled to come up with a
creative idea so Vicki suggested coming up with a process to come up
with a creative idea of how to relived the stress they are feeling.
Angelia suggested having a party amongst themselves. Bobbi
suggested getting some information on vacations that help relive
stress - maybe a day spa with a party at the end. Vicki said she
was not sure a day spa would make her feel less stressed - Bobbi
asked what might make Vicki feel less stressed, and then suggested
it was important to find out what each person relive stress before
going further. Bobbi likes the mountains or beach. Vicki gets
stressed out by the beach with its sticky sand. Vicki likes the
mountains. Angelia likes the beach or mountains. Bobbi and Vicki
both asked Angelia about her feelings - Bobbi from an information
gathering perspective and Vicki from a feelings perspective. They
settled on mountains and then explored specific. Bobbi suggested
the Colorado mountains and Angelia was interested. They agreed to
find some mountains where they had not been before. They ruled out
Niagara falls because Vicki had been there before. Bobbi concluded
that their getting away would benefit their families in the long run
as they would be less stressed. Everyone's feelings were addressed
in the discussion.
