This week’s readings and web links provide a myriad of samples of how an individual can take responsibility by using I-Statements. You will now prepare your own I-Statements and submit them within a table.

From your personal or professional experiences, prepare declarative statements that demonstrate an individual escaping responsibility and include in column one of your table. Then, in a second column, turn these statements into I-Statements that demonstrate an individual taking responsibility. Within a third column, justify in one or two sentences why you view the I-Statement is appropriate and/or effective.

Length: A minimum of seven statements that depict an individual escaping responsibility and seven I-Statements that depict an individual accepting responsibility are required. Construct the seven I-Statements in parallel to the seven statements that depict an individual escaping responsibility.

Include a title page, but references are not required. Your response should reflect creativity and contain relative content that is meaningful to you professionally in a workplace setting or perhaps even personally as you engage with family members in your home.
