Many of the self-assessments gave me insight on what I could do better, like my time management, listening skills, and networking. On the other hand, I have more insight on how I deal with conflicts, leadership, and what my hygiene and motivators are. By reflecting on these results, I can either continue what I am doing or I can improve. Just because I have a good control and understanding of some skills and tasks, does not mean I should not improve upon them. Throughout the semester, two theories stuck out

However, no matter what natural talents you may possess, people still need to learn how to manage their lives and their careers over a fifty or more year period.
