I will discuss transformational leadership in comparison to my own strengths, and explain how my leadership style may progress as I advance through this nurse practitioners program.

Looking back and reminisce from my own education experience, where I started, and how far I have come. I own it all to those teachers who went far and beyond the call of duty. There has been a couple of teachers that made an impact on my life. One in particular Professor Grubbs. He was a math teacher. You see I had math anxiety, struggle with math. Hated it, didn’t like it, negative attitude towards it, when it can down to it, had a close mind. Just could not get the concept at all. I fell behind, never raised my hand in class, thought I could catch up, but failed big time. So many learning strategies out there to use, but I didn’t even want to try them. Not until I meet Professor Grubbs. He gave me a new insight on math. How math could be beneficial, turning

When I finished, the StrengthsFinder’s Survey the five strengths that surfaced were no surprise. The first was deliberative. I have a career that I occupy now, and it requires precision and timing. I am a driver, and understanding how my equipment operates is critical in a high-pressure situation. I engage in a routine every morning, what pilots would call a preflight check. I check all compartments assuring everything is in the proper place and all equipment accounted for. Afterward, I would start the engine (fire truck) making sure all engine gauges, emergency lights, and fuel are in proper working condition.

Boom! Sara shakes. She is now at her fifth day of her job. A blacksmith. Sara lives in a society where everyone is treated equally. She gets a schedule for who she can and can’t talk to during the week. The schedule also has certain words she can only use. It seems like everyone in this community is happy. At 14 years old, you get assigned two friends. One girl and one guy. You have to discuss your day with them everyday at exactly 5:00 pm. If you’re late, there will be many consequences. Sara’s two friends are Jack and Ashley. She isn’t very fond of them but she knows she has to be. It is now time for them to meet. Ashley and Jack start to talk about how many their lives are. They begin to ask, “Sara, how is your life been?” Sara starts to cry and walks away.

My 5 strengths are as followed: Integrity, Loving, Appreciation, Hope, Forgiveness. After completely the survey, I applied these five strengths to my daily life. I realized that being conscious of my strengths and using them for a good cause not only helped myself but I helped others as well. My integrity shined this past week when I was placed in a situation where I was placed in a position where I had to be brutally honest with a dear friend, regardless of the pain that it may have endured her. As in individual, I like to be spoken to with the truth and nothing less than that, as I will speak to someone with nothing but pure honesty. If I was in the wrong doing or if I was in the right mindset, I will be honest of my actions and sayings. I believe there is no reason to lie, a lie told is an ongoing fairytale that will never end. One lie told leads to a thousand others in order to justify one lie, when it could have all been prevented if you had just told the truth. That lesson, is what I learned recently, and I couldn’t be more grateful

One of my strengths in football is passing. Passing is a key part in the game of football. The aim is to maintain possession to try and create opportunities to score to win the game. When I’m going to pass the ball I make sure that I use the correct technique when deciding to play a certain pass. During a game I would use the inside of my strong foot (left), keeping the ball low when performing a short pass. However, when I’m going to play a longer pass or switching the ball I would use the ‘laces’ on my boot technique by drilling the ball to another teammate judging the weight and height of the pass depending on the distance away from him. Also I would make sure that I stay very calm and composed so that I don’t make any errors or hesitate.

The variations of my strengths are expressed in many aspects of my daily life. Being a university student is a part of a lifetime experience that adds on to the many aspects in life that molded my identity and characteristics. My desire for success in life is a core strength of mine, because my goal is to achieve success through being determined, and to make sound choices. My journey in life will be influenced by my passion for life. If I am ready every day for the unexpected and unknown, then I can reach my long-term goals. A daily challenge will be setting specific goals and sticking to them. If I let fear take a hold of me, then I could be derailed from my goals.
