SCENARIO: Monica and Jennifer are coworkers that have been assigned to work on a project together. Jennifer is very organized and wants her and Monica to do really well on this project. To get started, Jennifer took some initiative and prepared a list of to-do items along with the due dates. She even color-coded the list to indicate who will do which item. Shortly after, Jennifer sends an email to Monica with the to-do list attached. Jennifer wants her partner to know that she is serious about their success.
Monica is happy her teammate has shown initiative but is surprised by Jennifer’s to-do list and feels a bit uncomfortable as she is feeling like Jennifer is micromanaging her. Monica wants to do her part on the project but is feeling anxious because she doesn’t know where she fits in. Monica is worried about working on the project. She wonders if she can succeed in this project since Jennifer is already the leader. Prior to this situation, Monica worked for a separate employer who asked her to work on a similar project. She felt anxious about her ability to successfully complete the project and attempted to communicate her feelings with a co-worker. However, her co-worker didn’t seem to understand Monica’s concerns and said that she should just ignore her feelings and get the work done.
As Monica ponders having a conversation with Jennifer, she starts to feel overwhelmed and thinks it might just be easier to be removed from the project.
Now, it is time to practice the skills and concepts that you have learned to help your friend Monica navigate through a difficult workplace situation. Using your problem solving and self and social awareness skill, as well as what you have learned about personality traits and emotions, answer the questions in this case study assignment. Remember, you are to help Monica calm her anxiety and find a solution to her problem.
How can Talking Leaves Bookstore, or the business you have selected, improve its sales specifically through content creation and digital marketing? Write a report in which you propose a solution or solutions for how your selected business can expand its digital presence as a way to reach customers. Your solution should be in some way about expanding and improving the company’s digital presence as a means to increase sales. While I encourage creativity, you should be realistic and consider the cost and logistics of your proposed ideas.
Potential Areas of Exploration:
• In what ways can the company expand its customer engagement through social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, Twitter, etc?
• Can the company improve its current social media accounts? If so, how?
• How might the company engage with its customers in creative ways on digital platforms?
• Consider the design and content of the company’s current website- could they improve the site’s tone? Its use of language? Its presentation of images? Its overall content? How could new content be designed to complement preexisting content? Or should the preexisting content be changed in some way? If you would like, your proposal can focus exclusively on how the website might be redesigned.
• Could the company benefit from becoming more of a content-destination site through blogging, etc?
• How can the company encourage customers to support their local businesses, rather than large corporations?

Review the information and create an algorithm that optimizes the number of security screening stations that must be open to serve passengers at the Colorado Springs Airport without exceeding a specified wait time threshold. Share your algorithm and prepare a response to each of the questions below.
• What is your understanding of the problem?
• What you are being tasked to solve?
• Explain your process for understanding the airport screening process, including the tasks you have identified as occurring sequentially and the tasks which can occur in parallel.
• How did you calculate the overall flow-time on a per-passenger basis?
• How will you ensure that the algorithm is meeting the three-hour rule for station open/close?
• How would you test your algorithm to ensure it is efficient and effective?
• What additional data (if any) would you request to help further optimize your algorithm?
• How would you redesign the system to be adaptive instead of deterministic?
• What are the advantages of doing so?

History of Present Illness: Patient is a 24 year old male. He has been on deployment for the past year where he sustained two traumatic brain injuries and lost several members of his unit during an explosion where he was the driver. Patient has been seen in primary care and treated with bupropion for depression and ativan for panic attacks. Patient has stated that over the past six weeks his mood has gotten worse. He was initially feeling depressed but now he states he has become more irritable and withdrawn. He has experienced nightmares, flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts of combat and the explosion. He also reported panic attacks while driving and has begun to avoid driving.
Assessment: Patient is alert and oriented. Voice is projected and speech is fast paced. Fidgets with hands while speaking. Patient appears irritable, ungroomed and distraught. Eye contact is not engaged.
Treatment Plan:
· Suicidal and homicidal evaluation
· Assess living circumstance and help with securing safe environment
· Enrollment in psychotherapy that uses Gestalt’s therapy
· Medication Regimen based on symptoms. SSRI such as Fluoxetine (Prozac), ativan for abortive treatment of anxiety, melatonin for sleep.
· Needs to be enrolled in either school or work program that allows for him to create productive time within his day
· Enrollment in group setting with others who are going thru PTSD as well
· Follow up appointment to discuss progress in all areas and how medication regimen is working out.
This patient’s treatment plan is based on the person as a whole. The Gestalt therapy has the goal of assisting the patient in restoring their organismic self-regulation system. A medication regimen based on symptoms will help alleviate discomforts while he is working through his mental state. The group therapy sessions can help the patient understand that he is not alone in the journey. There are other people who have experiences similar to his (Wheeler, 2020).
