01u00Question 102u02br
01u02u00Please describe a situation where you have interacted with people who are different from you in terms of background, age or gender:01b02b00What was the situation:00It seemed a new colleague was having difficulty settling in at work. He chose to sit on his own and appeared reluctant to join in with group activities. This made other team members feel unmotivated also.01b00What role did you play:02b00I introduced myself and asked him to join me on a project. During conversation he mentioned that he is homosexual and finds it difficult interacting with people in case they judge him on his sexuality. I introduced him to colleagues and I reassured him that we work in a fair and ethical organisation. I further asked him to assist me with my next project to which he was delighted.01b02b00What happened as a result:00He shortly became settled and felt comfortable enough to take part in activities and speak to others. As a result, all new entrants are now individually introduced to each team member to help them settle in which ultimately helps us work better as a team.02br

I felt confident of my skills and knowledge of website design, but I had limited skills and experience in business marketing. Because the website design industry is a competitive market, I faced difficulty establishing a customer base.01b02b00What role did you play:00I decided to contact my local chamber of commerce who arranged to meet me in person. During the consultation, I was given suggestions and objectives to follow, one of which was to contact potential customers directly, rather than expecting them to contact me.01b02b00What happened as a result: 00Taking advice given to me, I contacted a local surveyors company to arrange a sales meeting. As the result of a successful presentation, I managed to secure a sale. Using my newly acquired skills, I built relationships with new customers and further develop my business. I learned that asking questions is a key element of learning.01u00Question 402u02br
