Objective

US 18364, Version 1, Level 4, Credit 4. Demonstrate interpersonal skills when leading in a group situation - Element 2

Interpersonal sklls are demonstrated while leading a short tour

Individually:

design a short tour (5 minutes) around a familiar local site (you can use the Otago Polytechnic campus or surrounds)

each of you will be peer assessed to ensure you have demonstrated the following interpersonal skills
- flexibility, empathy, respect, communication, identification of physical or emotional stress. These skills will be tested during your tour.

Make sure you interact with your group (communication) in a way which would be expected (PC 2.1)

Provide physical and emotional advice if you identify such a need within your group (PC 2.3)

The emphasis of this activity lies more with the skills you display as a leader rather than the design or interpretation of the tour
