• I had done it the year before 

• Leadership is guiding, teaching, and taking responsibility for others’ growth; helping em succeed

“What are your strengths and weaknesses?”

• Strengths- work ethic and ability to juggle multiple commitments- 22 cr, work, club, wsb

“Tell me about a challenge you faced.”

• Wsb- i understood it was going to be a big commitment but even with mental preparation it was a lot

“How do you handle conflict?”

• I handle conflict by talking and working out what problems came up

• Addressing what i did and what others did 

• If necessary ask a third party to intervene as a mediator

This has never happened but if a conflict gets too big- walk away to cool down; for my safety and theirs and so i dont say or do things that I might regret and follow up with an email hoping to readdress the conflict at a later time
