This artifact demonstrates my competency for collaboration and consultation. I collaborated and consulted with my peers and accepted their feedback on how I could be a better counselor. My peers suggested that I listen more. Instead of having an answer or response right away, I should practice taking a few seconds and gathering my thoughts before I start talking out loud. Another suggestion my peers gave me is to practice goal setting. Before wrapping up a session I could come up with a goal for the next session. Since participating in self-evaluation and peer evaluation I have learned that I actually don't mind criticism because it makes me better and stronger. Collaboration & Consultation (.docx) 0.01mb
