reflected best self

This is my end of year grade 12 culminating self protariate. The project was to create two self portraits but to have them on one page. Initially, I did not expect myself to finish before school ended due to how long it took me to complete it last year. But by reflecting on what happened last year with my lack of time I was able to change my techniques up to fit the time span.

In presenting a theory about myself as a leader, I will attempt to draw conclusions about my strengths and weakness as a leader based on the things learned in this class. I will speculate on a reflective leadership best-self-portrait through my work experiences that draw on my interpersonal resources for vision. Recognizing my talents and shortcomings will help develop both micro and macro levels of resource development needed to reach my full potential.

"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you." This quote was spoken by the second president of the united states and revered Patriot leader, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson is trying to express how a person’s true character and personality is expressed through their actions and how they live their lives, so if someone wants to truly know who they are inside, the best indications comes from their actions and how they impacted others.

Once you have all of the responses in from your survey group, start to group the responses together into themes. Some of the themes may reflect strengths you were aware of, but they may also identify things that you hadn 't realized were strengths because they come so naturally to you.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

o The thing is just to understand the exercise and when your ideas drift a person off simply gently return to the exercise.

2002) attitude. I can quickly assess the interpersonal dynamics in a situation and use my decisiveness to develop a plan of action based on the situation. My open and caring preferences also prompt loyal and positive responses from my peers, customers and managers. My organization is a diverse group of individuals. Its members have “gifts that differ according to the grace given to us,” (Romans 12:6, English Standard Version) and we are tasked to use them accordingly to further the goals of the organization. My strengths have allowed me to excel in my role, but a better understanding of my intrinsic proclivities offer opportunity for my career

however with support and hard work from my team members we won the first ever medal for the team. I find it difficult to work under tight deadlines and so I have a habit to plan out things, prioritize them and then solve them one by one. I have always been the greatest critic of myself. I introspect a lot, analyse my mistakes and try to work over them. I am a quick observer of things and people’s behaviour. This really helps me to understand the other person’s state of mind and I steer the conversation accordingly. As a result I am not really comfortable with strangers who are difficult to predict and this is one area where I would like to work on in the future. I also don’t like to look at things from a distance and give any arbitrary solution. I try to understand the core of the problem and try to look beyond the obvious.

Reflection can be defined as an active process that evaluates experiences, draws on previous learning and provides an action plan for future experiences (Kemmis, 1985). Kolb (1984) stated that reflection is required for effective learning to occur. Therefore, as a practitioner, reflection is a significant aspect of the role. This is because, a reflective individual is able to critically analyse their actions, allowing them to become self-aware. In turn, reflection gives them an insight of how they could have behaved differently to achieve a better outcome (Boud et al. 1985). The NMC (2015) advocates life-long learning by taking account of current evidence and knowledge. For this reason, without the constant application of reflection, health care professionals may find themselves practising, using outdated customs. In midwifery, it is our obligation to ensure that our knowledge is up to date. Additionally, it is vital that we are constantly challenging and improving our practice. This will ensure that women and families under our care always remain safe as well as improving the practice of midwifery.

At my best, I love a challenge and never back down and will never let a roadblock get in the way of my goals. I thrive on new projects, tasks and adventures and am continually looking for new ways to build my skills and as such have commenced my MBA. At my best I am eager to learn and will choose the road less travelled. I have the initiative to get started and the stamina to persevere. I am most passionate when I am challenged in sales, design and marketing, inquisitive and willing to learn from those with greater experience than me.

Overall, I would classify myself as a generally healthy person. After going through the reading from the chapter, I can identify that some of these healthy characteristics are benefits of my environment and family history, while others have been established based off of promoting personal health. I know I personally avoid risk behaviors whenever possible, including smoking, using drugs, eating unhealthy foods, and consuming alcohol. Moreover, I take many preventative measures thanks to having a health education and knowing my family history, such as performing breast cancer checks and wearing sunblock daily.

A successful leader leverages their personal strengths and uses the knowledge of their weaknesses to improve and evolve, treating their development as a learning process rather than something set in stone. Self reflection is often focused on identifying and eliminating our weaknesses, however the vital key to any enduring garden is not trimming dead leaves and exterminating weeds. Instead, it is by watering the soil and carefully tending to it that the flowers can bloom. In the same way, we must cultivate our strengths. Although our weaknesses offer insight into ourselves, capitalizing on our strengths and understanding our talents allows us to develop the skills we need to become strong and effective leaders. The Reflected Best Self Exercise helps to facilitate the development of this awareness by helping individuals determine common themes and trends in their behavior with feedback gathered from friends, family coworkers, teachers, and more.

The data collected for just those not involved in organizations, shows that out of 71 students only 43 of them have ever thought of being in an organization. Many of the organizations in the School of Business have never even been heard of by the respondents. Many of the students feel that being involved could be valuable to them in the future. But due to a variety of

A positive organizational approach is really a matter of being able to integrate the competing demands that make up an organization” (Pace, 2010).
