Personal Narrative: My Interest In The Leadership Rotational Program

My first APPE rotation was pediatrics in Cleveland Clinic. Before starting the rotation, I was scared but excited to have experience in Cleveland Clinics, since it is one of the biggest hospitals in the country. I was worried because I had no knowledge about pediatrics. Also, the first day of the rotation was a day after the final, so I was in a rush mode.

It was great talking to you last night about the Young Leader Program at BMMI. I thought you were very informative and the program sounds very interesting yet challenging and I'm always up for a good challenge. I've attached my resume for you to review.

My selection into Leadership Rutherford would bring unity to the program and our region from my communication skills, my confidence in our county, and my positive attitude. My pride and love for our community will help to fuel the work that is presented to me from Leadership Rutherford and will allow my natural leadership tendencies to shine. During tasks that give me the opportunity to work with others, I listen with the intent to answer their questions and guide us in the correct direction; if accepted into Leadership Rutherford, I would help to continue to guide our county in the correct direction. Whenever I am out of the country and people ask where I am from, I proudly state "Rutherford County." Rutherford County is not only my birthplace,

School communities must have leaders that continually strive to learn, grow, and reflect on their experiences to make a significant impact. I plan to incorporate these same ideas when embarking on my new role as a supervisor. I have expanded and refined my experiences as a teacher since I embarked with cohort four on this leadership journey, and I feel equipped to be the effective leader that will truly make a difference in our schools. This year’s courses and high expectations from our faculty have provided me the opportunities to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses on a scale larger than that of the classroom. Our projects and meaningful discussions have helped shape my leadership philosophy.

There have been several times where I have shown leadership here at Saint Viator. I have been a part of Service and Song every summer, where I have lead 6th through 8th graders who are interested in helping others, and dedicated in bettering our community. Every year I have been a group leader, leading them through our service trips, leading them through group discussions, and leading icebreakers. When doing this I made sure to get everyone involved and make everyone feel comfortable with each other. I also had the honor of really getting to know the kids who will one day be walking through our halls. For me being, a leader means always doing the right thing and inspiring others. Another time I have shown leadership is when I didn’t have a

When registration time rolled around in fall 2015, I only needed 12 hours to graduate in May; however, I knew I would be bored and yearned for a class that was meaningful and would end my college career on a positive note. When Dr. May mentioned the mentoring at-risk youth class I was hooked. Although he tried to talk everybody out of it, I knew that this was going to be a perfect fit for me. I have always enjoyed working with youth, whether it was through coaching cheerleading, volunteering in the local elementary school, or spending afternoons at a halfway house for abused and neglected children. By signing up for the mentoring program I was able to try something I had never tried before— using my love for youth to create a lifelong one-on-one

The first week of St.Joe CEO classes have just started and WOW, what an experience! The first day, which was more like an introductory day, was spent mainly on expectations and answering any questions.

My journey in attending Howard University was not easy nor smooth sailing. The process in determining whether or not I would be a Howard Bison, was strictly contingent on the financial means of my family at the time.

Until I reached high school, my parents never stressed about college. They never talked about college and majors or even scholarships. Moreover, I believed college was a dream, something that I shouldn’t pay much attention to. However, I desired to attend college, and at that time I assumed I would major in a math or science, or even become an engineer. My assumptions grew from my sister, who planned on being an engineer. When I entered high school, my sister began to stress about my education after high school to my parents considering her dream that I would become a success compared to her. Since my mother wasn’t informed on how our college system works in terms of how to apply and the importance of majors, she truly believed my sister’s

I have been a student leader for two years and a section leader ever since eighth grade. I have done a lot of instructing during the past two years of being a student leader/section leader that involves either marching technique or music ability during rehearsal or sectionals. I have gave my opinions on either what a underclassmen is doing well on or what they could improve on. I have helped get the instruments and/or the hat boxes on and off the trailers. I have also helped and stayed after for competitions for feed the band, football games, and rehearsal nights to clean up trash or misplaced items.

The mentorship program for the spring of 2018 was first sent out in the middle of January 2018. There I send out an email to my mentor the first week. I was then given a reply back from another mentor that I might have gotten the wrong mentor email. I quickly search up my correct mentor and send out the email the second week which is the end of January. My mentor did not reply back to me until the 12th of February. She mentioned that her schedule is variable at United Hospital and she is working that week at the hospital. During that week I have a few exams and thus I emailed her back saying that the following week will be a much better time.

Just enrolling on a leadership coaching program doesn’t automatically guarantee results. To ensure you get the most out of the program, you need to focus on a few essential points.

The purpose of this personal assessment is to devalue an incident in which I believe I performed my very best, within my leadership capability, according to organizational policies, and lawful regulatory compliance while protecting cultural competence and our organization from any legal repercussions. Business environment will continue evolve and it is pivotal to the success of the organization that all potential leaders acquire the fundamentals of understanding human behaviors within a multicultural atmosphere. Different situations will arise in which leadership will need to focus on the many aspects of one’s personal beliefs, culture as a whole, and productivity at the least. What is evident is the diversity within

Dr. Williams made so many wonderful points in the seminar “Leadership: Storytelling in Action”. I love telling stories and I was excited to learn how to use the art in the workforce. I have been through so many challeges in my lifetime. I never imagine that the stories about my life experiences could make me a better leader. The three points I will identify are inclusion of employees, leaders engaging with employees and the effects of narrative stories within the workplace. Employees desire inclusion, control and affection within the workplace. Employees want to know that they belong in their organization and that the work that they are doing will make a difference (Williams, 2016). Managers can benefit from getting to know their employees
