I see myself as a collaborative leader. Having played basketball for three years now I’ve learned to not only work as a team but I also learned how to be a leader when necessary. Freshman year for me was all about getting to know the basics of the game, a few of us were brand new to the game so that left two experienced players on the team, which resulted in no wins that year. Sophomore year the only two players that had experience got moved up which left the rest of the team with no one to depend on. That year I stepped up and became a leader to help my teammates as much as I could. One day I broke my wrist and the doctor said it would take a few weeks to heal up. As sad as I was that I wasn’t going to be able to play the first few games I
As a paraprofessional one of the biggest problems that is face is the collaboration between the team of the student you work with. I work on a team of twenty-one people who I must communicate with most of them daily or weekly basis. The main issue I face is working with the Special Education teacher and regular classroom teacher in curriculum. The reason being is that I don’t get things modified for my student occurring to the IEP and preview the materials ahead of time. Just being given the material to work with the day of is hard because if I must modify I don’t get the planning time to do so. Then I run into the student having behaviors cause the material is too hard. Looking at the problem-solving worksheet from De Boer I really like the
Today I wrote this letter to introduce myself to you for the purpose of improving our collaboration during this semester. As a first son and a fifth child in the family, I’ve received many loves from my parents and my four older sisters. My family migrated from Vietnam to the United States five years ago and carried our new hopes and dreams to this place. I was having a tough time in maintaining my native language and learning English at the same time. I don’t have any interest in reading books because I‘ve never really enjoy any book that I’ve read in the past, or just because I haven’t read as much book as i thought I did. My goal for this year is to past every classes with an A. The reason is I don’t want to lose my financial aid, and
My current job is an ABA therapist for the school district. Last week, one of the children on my case load was having a lot of behavior issues in the classroom. In order to help shape his behaviors, a collaboration took place. The classroom teacher, the lead therapist, the autism specialist, another line therapist and myself brainstormed possible strategies to put in place. We all had to observe the behaviors and try to determine the antecedent. From there, we sat down as a team to decide what behaviors we wanted to target first and what strategies we would use. We have all begun to put the strategies into place and we are seeing significant improvement in some of the behaviors. We have all taken turns in dealing
Communication is key to the success and failure of most everything that we do, and that
In this era when collaboration is vital to succeed as a scientist, I have active collaborations with Emory University School of Medicine and Texas Tech Paul Foster School of Medicine. I actively participate in departmental and college-wide services, as well as professional organizations and scholarly journals. I sought as an advisor and consultant on scientific and technological programs and problems, which extend well beyond my area of specialty. These experiences demonstrate that I have the skill in providing scientific advice, collaboration, and consultation.
For this project I think Merry and I worked extremely well together, and were very collaborative. We were both a part of every step of the process, from booking equipment, to filming to editing. We tried to be good at communicating with one another as things came up, as well stay in touch about our progress. Overall, I think we worked very well as a team, and I look forward to working with Merry in the future.
After reading the list of 34 strengths on page 101 in Strengths based Leadership; I decided to try and pick out the top 5 that I felt applied the most to me. Choosing; Analytical, Developer, Futuristic, Input and Relator I found consistently the top 5 had to do with research, learning, the bigger picture, and relationships. I always pride myself in my ability to really see both sides of a situation as well as reading a person or in other words it does not take me long to figure out what type of person someone is and I would guess 8 out of 10 times; I am usually dead on with what I discover in the first 15 minutes with a person.
I had been working for a children’s summer camp for three years, I had been supervised by the same manager for two years. On my third year working there in the summer, there was a new manager for the camp and I received a higher position, Division Leader. One of my responsibilities was dealing with children, parents and staff conflicts. During my third year, when my new manager, Jason came in, he also brought some of his old staff with him. During our training, there was one staff member that got my attention, Joseph who was a previous staff member of Jason. He was a very outspoken and enjoyed being a leader of activities. When I recieved my list of staff members, I noticed that he was on my list as a regular counselor. When I announced that he would be a regular counselor
’m the first one to be born And it’s my responsibility To leave traces For others to follow I have to be cautious Or I might step into The wrong ground Letting the roots swallow me up There’s so much pressure in me
My feelings were all over the place. I was depressed, frustrated, upset until one of my friends came up to me and said “Hey don’t sweat it bro, if it wasn’t you it would have been one of us.” It didn’t make me feel any better but it was true. We got second place at a state championship. Next we had to line up to get the trophies and congratulate the other team. We walked into line to receive our trophies. Coach was asked to bring up our team captain to receive the runner up trophy. No one knew who that was, but our coach did. Coach yelled out “Carlos, Chase go!” Chase and I looked at in surprised and fist pumped each other. It was an honor for me to share the team captain with a good friend, Chase, but it was an even bigger honor to be a team
I think our group had very good team chemistry and worked very well together. We were able to help each other and encourage each other in the whole process. During the late night in Upper Sayles or on 4th libe we were able to get the work we need to finish done but at the same time have fun. Some challenges we encountered was finding time to get together to meet up because we all were very active in extracurricular activities. I was difficult to have class work for two other classes, campus jobs, varsity sports, club sports, and dance practices and yet make time to meet, but we met this challenge and found time. Also at time during the project it was discouraging when we had to change the direction of the project also the pain staking efforts
At the end of August 2008 when I worked in a company called Colsanitas in Bogota Colombia, I had the great opportunity to meet to Yanira Rodriguez who is my current partner.
One person I have devloped as a missional leader was one of my fraternity brothers and member of my GIG for fratenrity men. Connor is someone who grew up in the church but never really saw how he could be a leader or even brign together his faith and college in general. I chose Connor because he was acticely seekign guidance form god for both himself and IV, was faithful to both our GIG and his home church which he volunteered for, was both emotionally and spiritually mature, was familiar with the bible, and has been making great strides in his relationship with god and continues to strive for more growth . I devloped their leaderhsip in stages over the course of my senior year. I would have him lead prayer in our GIG, encourage him to invite
As a football player I have always been considered as a leader on the team. My senior year of high school my head coach called and talked to me on the phone saying how far I could take the team by leading them. I was always first in conditioning, working hard in the weight room, working hard in the class room, and being smart on the football field. Our football team also had other leaders but these leaders were the type that wanted everybody to do what they say and they also just thought they was the best players on the team. I never been the type to be loud and to be wild, I was the silent type that led by example.
Most of my experiences dealing with leaders and managers involve me being the subordinate one who reports to them. While working at Panera Bread, I experienced a lot of management styles and took that opportunity to learn what kind of manager I would want to be, but more importantly what kind I would not want to be. Some shift managers were respectful towards their coworkers and genuinely treated us as equals. However, a few of the magers that worked there took advantage of their power and used it to direct other employees around with no given guidance or explanation. An example of this is that one day I got to work like normal and checked my schedule to see whether I was working drive thru or the main line and realized I was given a shift as a waitress. I had
