I found last week’s Rose Cafe with Mary Opperman very interesting and useful. She provide tips on how to succeed in the workplace in a way that will not annoy your supervisor and potentially derail your career. In my previous work experience as a whitewater rafting guide, I did not encounter many of the problems that Marry Opperman talked about, as I got along well with my friendly and relatable bosses, However, as I get older and move away from my hometown, I will likely take jobs with a less casual work environment. I highly appreciate the advice offered at the Cafe, so I know what behaviors to avoid in the work place. She also talked about conflict resolution with coworkers and the supervisor, and I think this advice could be helpful in all interpersonal relationships, not just the place of employment. Overall, I am glad I went to Marry Opperman’s Cafe, and I will use her advice to guide how I conduct myself in current and future employment opportunities.
