Dean Heperi

1. One way I have tried to show my love to those I work with is by listening. Sometimes I have found that stewardship time is best spent talking about the things that are going on in their lives instead of BYUSA things. Another way I have tried to show my love is by spending time with my program directors outside of the office. Relationships are built through spending time together. A third way I try to show my love is by expressing appreciation. When we express appreciation as it is due, we can work together better.

2. I had a program director at the end of summer term who had too much on his plate. He was a SAC rep, pre-med, starting his own business, and taking 17 credits. I was struggling to tell him that it wasn't really working out, but it needed to happen. I prayed a lot before the conversation happened, and it went really well. I made sure to emphasize the good points of what he was doing and then move the conversation to what needed to change. He was receptive to what I told him and we were able to fix what needed to be fixed.
