"I learned my personality type and I feel that will help me with how I approach helping my future preceptees. I look forward to developing more skills in this area when precepting and using these skills to make my job, and their job easier in the long run."

"Remembering that all people learn differently and it’s important to know what way that is when I’m precepting and new employee."

"Definitely doing a self-assessment. I am new to the clinical training position, even though I precepted in the clinic for many years. now as the person training this I need to look at myself and know my personality traits so I can adjust to the differences of those I am training."
