The Path to Achieving My Personal Goal Throughout my life, I discovered that there was more to being in charge than managing the people around you. Managing a workforce requires a specific skillset that enables an individual to have a vision and align the right people up with achieving a specific goal. Even that isn’t enough though. To be a successful manager in any organization you must be able to not only manage the work being performed, you must also provide the inspiration needed to the employees appointed to you. Employees that are inspired perform their very best not because they need to, but because they want to. It is what drives them to continue moving forward through what could be an uneventful and mundane career. This skill that motivates employees to get things done through inspiration is called Leadership and every organization can benefit from it. That is why I decided to create my focus area on Organizational Leadership. I am currently working as an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Officer at the Chicago …show more content…
I do however find myself in need for improving my skills in implementing organizational change, negotiating, and conducting meetings. It is no surprise that these skills fall within the business management skills. Although modern-day business has modeled itself around the military, it has added or adapted skills needed to function as a private organization (VanVactor-Gill, 2010). I will require additional experience with negotiating, implementing organizational change, and conducting meetings. Luckily, I work for an organization that allows me to perform all three. I figure my Professional Advisor will be able to assist me with transferring skills learned in the military to skills used in the “civilian world.” I will also require my committee to provide honest feedback as to additional coursework needed to complete my
If my life was good as it could be, then I would have everything I have ever wanted. I would have a kitchen full of sour gummy worms, hot chips, and all types of soda. I would have the biggest, most comfortable bed in the world so I could sleep good, because I'm all about my sleep. Also, I would have my dream car, even though I can't drive. Last but not least, I would have an unlimited amount of money that I could spend. I would do a lot of things, such as travel the world. I would go to Paris, Los Angeles, Brazil, and many more places. Also, I would go to all the amusement parks in the United States and ride all of the rides and eat funnel cake while I was there. I would go into space, and try to see all of the planets and Pluto and look at the stars up close. Additionally, I would like to be able to sleep in bed all day whenever I want. Lastly, I would go and visit the White House and go and look around at all the exhibits in the Smithsonian. If life was as good as it can
The theories relating to the motivational methods and techniques I have chosen to reinforce the information are the two-factor and expectancy theory. The two-factor theory was developed by Frederick Herzberg’s and falls under two categories the satisfier and hygiene factors. The two are linked and are identified as being turned
Dr. Sandra D. Wilson (2001) asks, “Have you ever felt as if you were the only caterpillar in a butterfly world? Do you often feel as if you have to do twice as much to be half as good as other” (p. 16)? If you answered, yes, then that is what Wilson (2001) calls binding shame. “Shame is the soul-deep belief that something is horribly wrong with me that is not wrong with anyone else in the entire world. If I am bound by shame, I feel hopelessly, distinguishingly different and worthless (p. 16).
This paper is the development of my personal theory on Christian Counseling. I use many scriptural references to support my beliefs and stress the importance of gaining wisdom and knowledge from the bible. It incorporates all of the presentations, readings, and critiques I did at Liberty University’s Theology and Spirituality in counseling course. I talk about how I integrate Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality into my Christian counseling and believe that they all have a lot to offer the Christian counselor. The role of integration and multitasking is necessary to be an effective Christian counselor under the guidelines of the American Association of Christian
Immediately, when I turned sixteen I woke up in the morning and saw a pair of shinny silver keys sitting on my desk. I jumped up with excitement and rushed out the door wearing only my boxers, with the keys dangling in my hand. There it was: my brand new GMC Envoy, dark hunter green with a wax that could blind you. I stared at the car with excitement and admiration; it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and it was mine. I took it for a test drive around the block and opened it up on the highway only three blocks from my house. It had a V8 under the hood, black leather seats, a Bose sound system and enough horsepower to tow anything I desired. After my first test drive around the neighborhood, I picked up
I was influenced the way I determine different actions or behavior in a particular situation since I was a child. Growing up with a Baptist mother and four brothers made me value different things and behave in a particular way. In addition, this made me a have a particular ethical system that influences the way I work and act as an individual. At the corporation level, ethics is important because they set the rules and policy. In this paper, I will explain the developmental aspects of my ethics as well as my ethical system, the effects of my ethics at my workplace, and importance of ethics in an association to achieve its goals.
While serving, I was quickly promoted to the rank of Sergeant due to my keenness and hard work. For me to establish credibility with subordinate Marines, I had to have a wide variety of military knowledge. This knowledge would range from Patrols, Convoy Operations, Land Navigation, Weapons Systems, and Leadership Skills. I ended up studying, and completing, over forty self-curriculum tests throughout my military career. This enthusiasm to learn allowed me to be an effective and successful leader, which was recognized through personal evolutions and awards. After military service, I wanted to learn about leadership within the civilian workplace. As a result, I perused an education in Business
My professional goal is to attend a 4 year college in the Mainland to get a Pediatric degree. I chose this as my professional goal because I have personal experience of losing a baby. That made me even more love babies and help the ones in need. This professional goal is important to me because there is some people out there in the world that does not take care of their babies after they give birth or even while they are pregnant. They do not eat healthy or they drink alcohol or, even do drugs that will hurt the baby. It is also important to me because if your baby is born unhealthy or in pain some parents will not care or do anything to help the baby. Seeing babies unhealthy or not being taken care of hits home hard for me. This goal might
When I first came to college, I was almost certain that I would want to go to medical school. It was easy for me to try hard in all my high school classes because I saw them as a clear path to what I would want to have as a future career. During my first semester here at the U though, I was frustrated by the difficulty and dissonance between how I wanted to be spending my time and what doing pre-med classes entailed. I loved thinking about biological concepts, by doing physics and chemistry problem sets for hours on end made me feel like I was doing the wrong thing. It wasn’t that I stopped wanting to be a doctor; but I had, and still have doubts about whether that end goal justifies the truly arduous journey it takes to do so. I also realized how much I enjoyed being in nature. I want to make being outside in beautiful places a central part of my life in the future, not something that only happens on the side.
Knowing what I excel at has given me the ambition to rise to the challenge of earning a college degree. I have attempted on line school seven years ago and I had to make the difficult decision to withdraw from school when my family and financial obligations became overwhelming. I look back on that experience and have been able to analyze myself and now know what was lacking in my life at that time. I was not close with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was attempting to control all the angles of my life alone instead of allowing the Lord to help me. In the midst of my struggle for control I was unsure of my own strengths, passions, and abilities. Since that time I have been working in the human services field as the assistant director of a local adolescent girls group home. Working with at risk
My personal goal I wish to attain within the next year is purchase my first home. I am not sure where I would like to purchase my first home at this particular time because I am not sure if I want to stay in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana or move to Atlanta, Georgia. By being the only child and not sure if I want to move back home to Marrero, Louisiana, but I will continue to way my options before deciding on the exact location. Also, my personal plan within in the next year is to purchase a new car. In the next 5 years, my personal goals are to be in a committee relationship and traveling to Hawaii, Jamaica, London, Paris, Africa, and Costa Rica. Also, I plan to take my immediate family on a cruise to the Bahamas as an appreciation for helping,
A lifetime goal of mine is to become a coach of any kind. Being an athlete working hard and the feeling of success is great; sharing my talents with someone younger than me is something that I have always wanted to do. Help them become a champion, to be at the highest point in their game. Being a top rated athlete in the sport you play is a very good thing to have to look better for scouts or coaches. Training hard every day is a must staying focused is a major key in becoming a good athlete. Coaching kids to see they’re full potential and see they’re goals and reach them is a long time goal of mine.
Throughout my whole life I felt a lot better about who I was and who I became. It was all because of four different areas that helped me build the person I am today. These area are my personal relationships, social environment, culture, and health. During my whole life these four areas help me accomplished and demonstrate that I had lived a great life till now. We thought we had too little or had nothing at all but in the end we had everything we wanted to overcome the obstacle of having a life well lived.
Understanding how short-term and long-term goals for completion of P1 year will influence personal decisions
Goal setting has always been an important factor in my life, because of that I have accomplished things that I am very proud of. Without goals it would make it very hard to succeed in life because there is nothing to work hard for. Goal setting is a constant reminder of the things that are important to you. It gives me the motivation to work hard every day so that I can achieve my goals. Goals are what keeps each of us different. Throughout my life, I hope to continue to set goals.
