Jennifer has been providing support to a number of families who use a respite program for which she is responsible. One of her colleagues, Tim, who runs a similar program is unexpectedly away for a fortnight as he has urgent family commitments to attend to. Jennifer offers to assist Tim by running his program as well as her own, seeing it as an opportunity to develop her management skills for the future. Jennifer decides to deal with the day-to-day administrative tasks and place on hold any urgent issues and new applications to the program, because she thinks it is more appropriate for her colleague to handle these on his return to work.

After the fortnight, Jennifer decides to seek some feedback from her supervisor about how she has managed the situation. Karina, the supervisor, tells Jennifer she is very impressed that she had been so careful in respecting the boundaries between the two programs and that Jennifer had not overstepped the boundaries of her role. Karina compliments Jennifer on her ability to manage two tasks effectively and also to ensure Tim is able to step back into his own role without any difficulties. _{Several of the participants in the training workshop provide feedback that Jennifer moved too quickly through the content and they did not always understand the information. Jennifer reflects on her workshop and decide there was a lot of content that she had tried to cover. What could Jennifer do to improve the workshop for next time?}
