What are your best qualities? Are your best work qualities the same as your best home qualities?

I'm afraid my best qualities are different between work at home.… at work I feel like my best quality is listening, and when I get home I feel like I am all listened out… can anyone relate?

That's a really interesting question. I suppose I'm pretty much the same at work or home, but I guess I do prioritize things differently. At work I tend to be more efficient, always trying to get things done right away. At home I can let things slide, I live alone and if I don't get something done right away it usually doesn't matter. And something else that occurs to me is that my sense of humor can be different. My sense of humor would have a sharper and more cynical edge outside of work, at work I would keep that more or less hidden.

I tend to rely more on dark humor in the workplace versus at home.… as far as letting things slide, I’m definitely way more lax at home than at work, particularly w deadlines / goals

I think my best work qualities and home qualities are pretty similar. I'm good for bouncing ideas off of, talking through strategy and helping to organize projects. I do a lot of this at home with my husband because he owns a small business, and it's fun to think through strategy of something totally different than what I do.

I have noticed I am somewhat of a different person when at work vs. at home. I am way more outgoing at work in a lot of ways. Sometimes I think about it at home, like I have no idea who that person is, but it really works out for me on both fronts so I embrace it!

Very interesting! Why do you think you are less outgoing at home?

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
