Ive noticed the
reaction of the
residents to me and
my behavior

When I am happy
and show warmth
when speaking with
them I can sense
their comfort with
me

I showed a non-
judgmental attitude
with my client at a
time he felt
embarrassed and I
noticed this calmed
him and I could tell
he was grateful

I have made sure to
take care of myself,
enough sleep, keep
the stress down, and
my mood and
behavior reflects this.

5- I give myself a 5
because I think I fully
recognize the effect
that my actions,
behavior and non-
verbal communication
have on others. I
recognize the response
I get when I have a
more open, calm,
warming behavior,
and could recognize
the effect if I were to
have a closed off,
impatient, judgmental
behavior
