Professional Conversations

When meeting the client for the first time you have to create a positive atmosphere, this is so it is easier to build up a rapport with your client. You have to remember to keep it formal and to use appropriate body language for instance, using a handshake and remaining eye contact whilst keeping a warm smile on your face when greeting your client, will help your client to feel comfortable around you. You should start your conversation on a neutral subject e.g. asking service user how their journey was to meet you; this will be a good conversation starter because this is more likely to encourage you and the client to want to carry on your conversation positively, than for you to have a blank facial

Don’t be afraid to use common expressions like, “Nice to see you”; even blind people say it.

What does Professionalism mean to me? Professionalism in my term means it is someone who is very dedicated to their profession. It is an important and great decision to follow by the rules and ethics of professionalism. If we did not have anyone that cared about their profession it would cause a lot of problems in our society today. It could cause a lot of disruption in your workplace. In order to abide by professionalism you must take pride in your job, percieve realistic goals and values, and know what your expectations are.

Physical Body is centered primarily on the physical facet of health such as drugs and surgery. The mind of consciousness is likened with functioning. Bio-psycho-social is centered more on consciousness. Physical Body focuses predominantly on the human as a Physical Body and what can be done to fix it physically. Bio-psycho-social states that the mind is unlimited and boundless. In Bio-psycho-social the understanding came about that a person’s mental health can affect their physical health as well as the health of other people around them (Dossey).

Don’t come unprepared-If you come to a networking event unprepared you may run out of things to say in a conversation. You won’t be able to pick up a conversation that has stopped as well and you may not know what to say. If you are unprepared and you get nervous you won’t know what to say because you are too nervous.

1. Era I – “Mechanical Medicine” began in the 1860’s. Its focus is on surgical procedures and drugs. The thought was that health and illness are only physical in nature and consciousness is equated to functioning of the brain. Era I thinking in displayed in review of psychiatric care in the early 1900 with the use of frontal lobotomies to cure hysteria. The thought was that performing a surgical procedure on the brain will remove the area that is causing the Hysteria. Era I focuses on performing a procedure or providing a medication to fix the body physically, while Era III takes into account the patients perception of health, their stats of mind and their support

Many people might believe that crucial conversations are witnessed in more political situations, but these types of conversation appear in our daily lives fairly often. Some typical crucial conversations in the work environment could be reporting bad news to a superior, approaching a coworker about them breaking a company rule, or discussing work effort with a team member. These situations appear in our home and social lives in the forms of disagreements in a relationship, dealing with roommate problems, and talking to a friend about participating in dangerous behaviors.

Have you ever been awed by someone who always seems to know what to say and how to say it in any situation? These people know how to communicate with diplomacy, tact, confidence and professionalism. They speak honestly, confidently and receive criticism constructively. They are powerful, not intimidating, and say what needs to be said without offending or creating conflict. This paper explains the why(s) and how(s) to do these things.

Wendy Warman, co-author of Loud and Clear: How to Prepare and Deliver Effective Business and Technical Presentations, gives instructional seminars on how to effectively participate in small talk for big success. Warman discusses the importance of small talk in order to improve communication, boost sales, enhance customer service and increase profits in any organization or industry. These are all very important benefits, which I think everyone could find use for.

I was on the leadership team for Intervarsity Multiethnic Christian Fellowship from sophomore year through senior year in college. During my senior year, I also served on the executive board of the Inner Strength Gospel Choir, which was the most challenging — and at the same time, most successful — management experience. It was challenging because I served on the board while studying for the MCAT, which entailed that I had to practice very efficient time management while leading this position. The executive board consisted of six members, all from different colleges and majors within our school, so there was an element of inter-professionalism attached. The scope of the executive board was managing weekly/monthly/yearly promotions/engagements/practices/announcements

The way I would do this is either during lunch time or after work hours. I would try to ask how their day is going and see where the conversation flows from there. Some obstacles I could face when trying to practice is focusing on lunch time and me time, than actually, trying to talk to my co-workers. I feel that my personality could be an obstacle as well, because in my work place I do not like to talk about myself and I do not like to share my personal life with others (it’s really hard to not be shallow in my conversations from work). It would be very easy to hear others talk about their issues and their conversations, but I believe that it would be hard for me to perform most of the time. I also think that some of my co-workers have families and other things they might have on their mind and it is very hard to relate specific topics. I also think the work environment in which I work, does not facilitate for my co-workers and I to conversate, because there is always something to

Have you ever been in a conversation where you have no clue what to say next. Have you ever been in a situation where you see someone you don't know and wanna talk to them but dont have the courage to say anything?

Now, you might be telling your computer screen/sheet of paper, “Don’t be such a drama queen! I love small talk and do it all the time! It's a great way to find a common interest with someone you don’t know all that well or to start a conversation with your friends!”

Before the beginning of our discussion on professional identity in the healthcare system, the term “professional” must first be defined; and what identity in the healthcare system specifically, would entail. A professional in simple terms is a member of a profession but to really grasp the complexity of this term this needs to be expanded. Professionals are governed by codes of ethics conduct and regulations. They profess commitment to competence, integrity, morality, altruism, and the advancement of public virtue within their professional domain. Specialists are accountable to those they serve and to society as a whole (Cruess, Johnston & Cruess, 2004).

Professional Socialization is defined as the process by which individuals acquire the specialized knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, norms and interest needed to perform their professional roles acceptably( Maclntrye, Murray, & Teel, 2009). There is formal and informal socialization. Formal socialization involves planned
