If you don’t have time to read this blog, here is my e-portfolio for the JI Live Associate Certificate of Leadership and Conflict Resolution.

Back in 2021, I had the opportunity to take the leadership development series and courses at JIBC through JI Live.

This program is designed for staff and faculty at JIBC, and typically starts with workshops such as “Your Leadership Style” and “Practice Labs” through which participants review and discuss their DiSC profiles and reflect on different aspects of leadership. Upon completion, participants may enroll in the JI Live Associate Certificate program that consists of the following courses,

• CRES 1100 Foundations of Collaborative Conflict Resolution
• CRES 1200 Resolving Conflict on the Front Line
• LEAD 1100 Lead Yourself First
• LEAD 1101 Leading Through Relationships

When I attended this program, JIBC, as an institute, didn’t have a tool to support e-portfolio or digital literacy. Therefore, all my work and reflection were buried in the learning management system and a “PD” folder in my Mac Pro.

Since the moment I completed the associate certificate program, I thought about sharing something I learned or reflected on through the program, but it was difficult to decide which part of my journey deserved the most attention, given how rich and profound the program was to me personally and professionally.

With the pilot of PebblePad at JIBC, I decided to design a simple e-portfolio to share my journey. By doing so, I was able to retrieve documents buried in my computer, refresh myself with all the learning that happened back then, select and edit pieces that were meaningful to me, and somehow gauge my growth before I started this program. This e-portfolio will also serve as a reminder for my personal and professional development.

So if you are curious, here is my e-portfolio for the JI Live Associate Certificate of Leadership and Conflict Resolution.
