Madison Conley Case Study

I want to join the writing center because writing has always been a passion to me and I want to instill that passion in others. I think I would be qualified to be a tutor. I have been writing for as long as I can remember and I have some editing experience from being on yearbook staff.

After taking the assessment, I learned that my five greatest areas of weakness are: Seeking support from others, Retaining written information, Time-management skills, Management and leadership of people and Creative-problem solving (Bethel University, 2014). When taking a closer look at my areas of weakness, I was able to see that my many of my weaknesses are similar because they have to do with the confidence that I lack. For example, take seeking support from others or management and leadership of people. I have issues with

Looking at my strengths, it is clear that I am a self-starter, team player and good listener. I have the ability to adapt in diverse cultural working groups. Also, when things do not go as planned, I am very good to work with what I have. Additionally, I can easily adapt to any situation. In other words, I am a quick thinker. On the other hand, looking at my weaknesses, I often try to please everyone around me even though I know this is not always possible. Although this might be true, I have been working hard on my weaknesses and have improved this weakness by taking a leadership role when I work in teams and making executive decisions. Also, I tend to focus on only one project at the time before starting a new one which I consider a weakness when having to work in a fast pace environment. To counter this weakness, I am consistently doing my best to take on more valuable work in order to improve my multitasking skills. Finally, if there’s one thing I could change/improve in my personality is always waiting till the last minute to complete work. I do work great under pressure and in no way, has this stopped me from doing great throughout my academic career. Although this hasn’t negatively affected me since I can cope well with pressure, I would honestly

My weaknesses are being crowds. actually voicing my own opinions, and giving others responsibility. I know that the less i drown myself in books the more time i will have to be a part of people's lives. If i can get out and meet people i will soon start to voice my opinion and talk. When i am able to do that anything that i see or that i know people need instead of trying to fix it myself i will let the person who needs the help decide to do it, instead of my usual i will do it. When i finally get over these weaknesses which may seem small they will make me a good social worker. I always see thing that need change. With weaknesses like these i would never be able to advocate for change. These weaknesses have the potential to be major strengths.

These mistakes are the core to my weakness as a person. More than often, I overestimate my workload and take on too many responsibilities that at times causes me stress and inconvenience. Not being able to correctly judge work I need to put into each project at times clouded my judgements. “She is too a realist and realizes and understands that some weaknesses are positive if we embrace them because they allow us to become dependent upon our friends, family and teachers.” I have never allowed my weaknesses to make me feel insecure or intimidated; I listen, observe and serve with an entrepreneurial mindset. I have learned to not only listen to what others have to say, but also ask focused questions to determine how I can later use that knowledge, grow in my knowledge of myself and contribute to those around me.I have held significant leadership roles on campus including president of freshman class, president of the speech and debate club and team leader in sea perch competitions, these activities have not defined my true value as a leader. “She is intellectually curious, socially responsible and demonstrates daily the moral character required to serve in key leadership positions during her 4 years at

Like every human being, the same way I have strengths; Also, I have weaknesses. The weakness I need improvement is my interviewing skills. My interviewing skill is one of the reasons I

My most outstanding quality is my ability to handle adversity. Adversity is something that comes at different times and in different sizes. One common theme is that adversity/obstacles always happen when you do not expect it. My ability to take obstacles as they come and handle them responsibly and in a mature manner, is what makes me a strong person/leader. My characteristic that I perceive as my personal weakness is being too closed off. I do not make decisions using my emotions, instead I use logic and reasoning. This is not always a good thing when dealing with people, and it is something that I am capable of working on and improving. In my experience, being closed off is not something you change in a blink of an eye. In order to compensate

Some of the weaknesses that I have as a student are mentioned above include perceiving others the way I feel but not the way those particular people are. This is to say that I do not accept the strengths and weaknesses of other people. Mostly the weak points. This comes up mostly during my projects. When assigning duties to members, I do that without considering the capabilities of other people. I usually assume that every can do a particular thing in a better way just like I can. This has been a greater challenge to me since I end up giving some people difficult things that overwhelm them and so they end up not performing the tasks to the expected level.

2) My second weakness would be time-management which is connected to my first weakness. I sometimes feel like I am able to squeeze tasks into a limited and unreasonable amount of time. This occasionally results in me being late for meetings

My weak area was the self-regulation portion; most of my responses to how often I handled each situation were “usually.” I need to improve on controlling my feelings in certain situations, trying to be more aware of tasks and their proposed deadlines, managing my time wisely, and executing new ideas that I myself have formulated. Other weaknesses were found in most of the areas where my strengths were. Most of them involved taking risks, which my personality often deters me from engaging in.

Also, I'm never afraid to volunteer myself to say or do something. My weaknesses are studying and being on top of homework. Studying is really hard for me and I tend to distract myself with social media. I need to improve on these skills because it really does affect my

One big weakness I have, which I stated before, is my lack of creativity. This makes it hard to get projects started and I sometimes need a day or two to collect my thoughts and figure out what to do. Sometimes I need to ask friends and classmates for inspiration. Something I could do to help improve upon this weakness could be to be more focused in class and not get distracted as easily. I will also try to think outside of the box more and try to think of more

Just as I have my strengths, I also have my weak areas that I know I need to improve. Some of these areas include my lack of leadership, slow progress in groups, being late for group discussions and meetings and being easily distracted by things outside the group.

Coming up with weaknesses is the hardest thing that someone has to do. You have to sit and wonder where you needed improvement throughout your years. Sometimes you think that you are perfect, but there is no such thing as a perfect person. After conducting the SWOT analysis and writing down my weaknesses, I see that I need to improve in many areas because I will need most of them as a leader, and I need to cut some of them out to improve to the next level.

My weaknesses are that I am impatient, not very assertive, I have a hard time working with people I do not get along with, and I am not optimistic all of the time. I significantly loathe doing monotonous tasks, working with “energy vampires”, and having nothing to do at work. If I
