Bio

Hi! My name is Nicolette, and I am a current college student majoring in Psychology. I am especially passionate about the cause of mental illness, as I believe that everyone deserves to reach a sense of well-being. One of the toughest parts of having a mental illness is seeking help, which is something I hope to provide through this platform.

IDG Dimension 4: Collaboration

...See more While completing the IDG growth pathway, the fourth dimension discussed stood out to me especially. This is the dimension that is centered around collaboration and strengthening our social skills in order to do so more effectively, which in turn allows us to devise innovative solutions to challenging problems. One of the key skills discussed in this section is communication, which ultimately supports the ability to effectively lead others. I have witnessed this in my own endeavors, as I have found that creating a supportive environment that encourages different perspectives provides people with the motivation and courage to devise and share unique ideas. For example, as the leader of a club chapter at my school, I make it a top priority to continually encourage members to share out their ideas while working to combine them, so that each member feels heard and valued. I believe that this is crucial in creating a collaborative environment that encourages members to think outside of the box, rather than being fearful of sharing unconventional ideas. The possession of a strong set of social skills in crucial in achieving the ability to collaborate effectively, which allows people to achieve more by combining their skills and perspectives with others.  Can you recall a time in your life when you have seen the power of collaboration at work?  What do you believe is the most important skill in strengthening our collaborative abilities? 
The Importance of Cognitive Skills (IDG Dimension 2)

...See more While completing the IDG growth pathway, the cognitive skills component of the dimensions especially stood out to me. As someone who tries to approach the world with open-mindedness and curiosity, I believe that this set of skills is critical to growing in a way that facilitates better relationships with others and with the self. Cultivating a set of strong cognitive skills will facilitate the development of a firm set of beliefs that best align with the individual, as each belief chosen will have been given careful consideration during the development process. In addition to the self, strong cognitive skills lead to better relationships with others, as the ability to approach debates open-mindedly and fairly allows for open-mindedness and more understanding towards others' viewpoints.  Additionally, I feel that strengthening our cognitive skills allows us to most effectively solve problems, whether it be in an academic or real-world setting. To me, applying cognitive skills means to be free of biases and evaluate each piece of information with equal weight. Doing this allows us to think critically and consider the broader implications of concepts, leading us to tackle challenges in innovative ways. When one develops the ability to think critically, they are better able to problem-solve, as these skills go hand in hand.   What are some ways you can strengthen your cognitive skills (such as the ability to think critically, consider long-term consequences, and fairly weigh various perspectives)?  In what ways do you view cognitive skills as being beneficial in the context of your own life?

Very nice listener, thanks a lot.
They are a good listener
She was very kind and nice. She was very understanding of my problems and was able to relate to them. She was also able to listen to my problems and act like a friend to me, instead of just offering advice. She was able to relate to them. She was also very willing to offer advice on other things that I asked. She is one of the best parts of this website, and I hope every one meets a great listener like her. Thanks, Nicolette, for being so kind and nice. This website is happy to have you.
Very supportive, knowledgeable, kind, and relatable.
Kind and caring and compassionate.
