AoD (4)

I am currently volunteering at my church's little coffee hut and I need to train every Sunday in order to become a dependant worker there. My problem was that I had somethings going on for 2 weeks, and needed to negotiate with the coordinator in order to have everything there run smoothly.

After my initial training program that gave me a general overview of how things worked, I had to go to train again for a couple more Sundays, but I couldn't becuase of some things I had in my schedule. The coordinator of the volunteer barista program wanted me to come anyways, because she thought I would begin to forget everything if I didn't follow up. First, I told her what I wanted, which was to go to my group event that weekend, and had to miss the training this weekend. I then listened to what she wanted, which was for me to come in and train, even if I had my group event that weekend. I prepared to give up my next Sunday after the event for training, and to make sure that I did not miss my event. I discussed with her that I needed to go to the event, and that I could give up my next Sunday to train. She seemed to still be worrying about it, so I decided to tell her that if I could have a copy of the training packet we recieved during my first training, I would read that during the off time in my event. This satisfied what she wanted, which was for me not to forget what I had learned so far, and I was also going to work the next Sunday. I got to go to my event as I had wanted. In the end, the situation was a win-win, I got to go to my event, she got me to review my training information and train more the next Sunday.
