I learned how to communicate with government officials as a private agency representative. I was responsible for ensuring that our agency met the criteria to bid and win the contract, staffing the contract, developing and facilitating training material based on the requirements of the contract, communicating weekly with government officials to ensure the company’s consistent adherence to the contract obligations, attending government meetings directly involving the call center, managing the staff schedules to accommodate and ensure coverage for the twenty hour - seven days a week operation, in addition to providing oversight for the emergency call center unit. I learned to professionally deliver persuasive presentations before panels, speak with confidence in order to connect with my audience, and be aware of my non-verbal projections. I engaged my audience by presenting information that met the direct needs of the contract and offered solutions to enhance the quality of services, which would be provided by our company. I learned how to write winning proposals, bid on government contracts, the appropriate communication protocol for interacting with government officials as a contractor, and how to operate alongside the government as a separate entity but sharing a common goal. I successfully remained supervisor of the contract for two years until I decided to venture on to another opportunity. In 2003, I took a leadership position within the church I attended, as small
When looking how effectively a country represents its citizens, it is important to take into account the manner in which they are represented. The two main types of representation are descriptive and agency representation. Descriptive representation is the concept that those who represent the American people should not only have the same political interest, but should also mirror the demographic makeup of the people. Agency representation, which is what the United States congress looks like, is when the representation does not reflect the demographic, but they speak for their constituents’ interests in congress. The constituents are able to hold the representatives accountable and can choose not to elect them in the next term, so the representatives
Walt Disney’s film Pocahontas is not historically accurate, but there is value in creating cartoon interpretations of American history. As a child, cartoons are mostly important for your development, both physically and mentally. Fairy tales help children understand the complexity of life. These visions use various symbols to teach morals and cognitive skills. Walt’s film was based off the legends and folktales surrounding Pocahontas, it was not meant to be historical but to promote racial tolerance.
From my two years of participation, I improved my presentation and communication skills. I can apply these skills to my future because research involves communication and presentation on a day to day basis. Research is collaborative, so it is important to have an understanding with your lab members. Also, if I am presenting to an investor that has no knowledge on the topic that I am researching, I will need to explain it in a way that would make sense while maintaining the principles of the work.
What if there were a test that people could take and be able to determine if they had cancer or a disabling disease, and would someone believe the results if they were 77% accurate. Now just imagine that being a jury member on a driving under the influence trail and the prosecutor and the officer state with confidence and validated tests that the defendant is guilty, they like myself would want some proof. There are tests that are given to individuals that prove this aspect of a driving under the influence arrest. If a person is stopped by law enforcement for suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs they will be given three standardized field sobriety tests while on
I learned a lot through taking on the mantle of leadership within dance team, such as communication skills, budget planning,
There were quite of few differences between William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play and Baz Luhrmann’s movie based on the play. For example, the ending scene in the movie left out a lot. Paris never showed up at the cemetery to place flowers at Juliet’s tomb. Thus, Paris and Romeo never got in a quarrel that had ended in Paris’s death. Baz Luhrmann probably left out this small part in the movie because Paris wasn’t a major character in the movie. Also at that part in the scene there was already a lot going on, so leaving out that fight between Romeo and Paris wouldn’t have taken a huge toll in that certain scene. In the play that small detail told the readers that Paris’s love was true for Juliet. However by leaving out that part out in the movie it didn’t tell the audience if Paris was actually into the marriage for true love. Also Juliet was awake before Romeo died as well. However he didn’t notice that she was awake quick enough before he had drank the poison. By having Juliet wake before Romeo passed away made that
The best example of my application of these skills was the group project that I presented to representatives from the World Bank. This project was challenging, as it involved the massive undertaking of evaluating the current state of Iraq, and assessing its future needs, all while taking into account the plausibility and effectiveness of any actions that my group proposed. By winning this competition, based upon my group’s project proposal and presentation, I believe that I was able to utilize many of the skills necessary to be an effective problem-solver and communicator, both of which are indispensable tools for successful claims

Members of congress are faced with many tough decisions during their time in public office. They have to balance the interest of their constituencies with the interests of outside influences such as political parties, special interest groups, or national interests. These interests are rarely aligned and require tough decisions to be made when voting. When preparing to vote on a major issue congress members are inundated with different opinions sent in by email, mail, phone calls, and social media (How a Member Decides to Vote). Congressional agencies provide reports and studies, special interest groups send in background material, and fellow congress members provide recommendations (How a Member Decides to Vote).
Objective of this paper is to discuss where the following agencies lie in the administrative structure of the federal government:

Listening: During a client consultation I made sure to listen to my client’s needs and use active listening to give the client a sense of confidence and assure them that they would be taken care of, I also made sure to clarify any doubts with the client. For example, when the client would ask to have a haircut or trimming of only one inch, I would always ask them to describe what one inch meant to them. My clientele was constant. My customers kept returning back to me and bringing in new customers with them, one of the best complements I got was “You never leave my hair too short you always cut it exactly how I want it” and many others.
