I have lead for more than two session at this point... but I'm not good at blogging so here is one of my more recent sessions. This one was more fresh in my mind because it was more negative then positive.
When I started the session I did the usual... "have you been to the writing..." and that's about where I was cut off. They replied with, " I just a another set of eyes to look at this... you know edit" I then said... "well we don't really edit papers, we work on papers collaboratively..." They said, " Yea sure..."
This kind of talk continued... The person was eating an orange while working on the paper and seemed to be somewhere else entirely. When I would give feedback or suggestions... it was always "huh...why?"... and then I would have to either find a documented source or ask Dianna about something. That aspect I was fine with, I understood that this person wanted to be 100% sure about. It was a respect issue or maybe even a tone issue, that I didn't care for.
The session ended quickly and I thought little progress was made, probably because they refused some of the techniques that I suggested, or maybe other reasons.
This session taught me that a persons attitude can seriously effect my will to consultant and the effectiveness.
