Self-Development as a Part of Professional and Academic Skills Support Module

I work in nursing home. My person values are ambition, committed, family orientated, hardworking, loyal, self-reliance, acceptance. My personal belief is to treat everyone equally, with respect and dignity. I always remember that every person is unique and different. I show positive regard to everybody. I am a Christian brought up in the Catholic faith, but in my work, there are a lot of people with different faiths like Hindu, Muslim, Jehovah, Anglican. Mrs X who is one of the residents on my ward is Muslim. I attend to her every day. She likes to pray four times a day, covering her face during the day with a hijab. When I finish giving her personal care in the morning, I make sure I give her the hijab to cover her face and then remove it at night before going to sleep. I make sure no male carers are allowed to enter her room or attend to her. She has a female carer at all times. I make sure that I don’t discriminate against any client or staff. I try to give each staff member and client equal opportunity like the same amount of time. I respect the right of clients and staff, by giving the clients the right to chose what they want to do. What they want to wear. What they want to eat. Mrs X wants to go to bed at 22.00 hours every night One night we were short of carers for the night shift, so I put her to bed early, her son came to visit and complained, and asked me to

Communication is a two-way process that takes practice and time to be fully effective and is very important in every aspect our personal and professional lives.

Settling the conflicts and issues associated with the task aspects and the social aspects balanced the group members. Trust evolved as an impact and the members became more cooperative to effectively perform the determined task. In this way, we completed preparing our poster in time, and were ready to carry on the first success of our group performance which evoked self-confidence, in the Buxton Residential trip with the goal of acquiring the top position as a team.

In this assignment I am going to explain about the role of the effective communication

This assignment will discuss two well known theories of effective communication. Firstly it will look at Michael Argyle (1972), the cycle of communication and then it will discuss Bruce Tuckman (1965) stages of communication.

Although teamwork is discussed in greater detail elsewhere in this text, it is important to note that any individual who works as a part of a greater team should be an effective

To properly plan and develop personal and professional development for the future, it is necessary to reflect on personal preferences, goals, past experiences, future goals, and motivation. The purpose of this paper is to provide a self-assessment through self-reflection and professional development planning in my health care career. I isolate my top three interests in organizational settings, discuss the importance of leadership, reflect on my motivations, cognition and organizational behavior, strategic planning and marketing, explore unfamiliar healthcare professions, review the importance of quality improvement and teamwork, uncover health disparities, and finally, reflect on health ethics. This will help me thoroughly

In our futures, we are going to be working with people every day. We will be working with people, whether in the work force or community. The more an individual works in a group they become a better team member and gain knowledge by learning from others. Outside of learning the material for our class, I believe we did a lot of group to benefit us in our future group work experiences.

Communication is the conveyance and flow of ideas from one person to another. The exchange of information takes place through letters, words, symbols and nonverbal behaviors. It involves the transmission of ideas from the sender to the receiver. Communication is effective only if the receiver fully understands the transmitted information. Many problems and failures occur in organizations due to poor communication. Objective and goals fail due to misunderstandings in the organization. Effective communication provides a chain of understanding to all participants in the organizational framework. It promotes the flow of information both vertically and horizontally.

As I am reproaching my upper electives, more and more of my classes require working in teams in order to prepare us for our senior design project. I am currently in four different classes of which all require us to have a group. In each class, I have different group members even though about two- thirds of the same people are taking the same classes as I am. This is due to many reasons but one of the reasons is because one class assigning us our group

Although I did not pass with a distinction, I still managed to obtain an average of 72% for the overall degree.

The Professional Poster Design Session at Makerspace was an out of class experience held at the Library Learning commons in late March. While in attendance I was introduced to a variety of skills, tips and hints on how to make a high quality poster board presentation, whether it be for a class presentation or a professional business presentation. I was successfully able to connect this experience to the SNHU School of Business Outcome: Business Communication. I was able to make connections with this outcome due to the fact that this experience helped me to develop oral presentation skills in verbal as well as nonverbal ways. The coordinators of this activity exposed us to multiple ways in which we can develop and create an effective poster. For example, Chris Cooper, showed us the importance of designing posters to look professional as well as using high-quality images, graphics, and graphs to help communicate with my audience in a more advanced and proficient nonverbal manner.

On hearing a crying child why do we analyze if the child is in a pain. Listening to the school bell how do we know that the class has been dismissed. These things have been presented to us in such a way. That whenever a situation like comes along we automatically portray the outcome; this portrayal has been taught to us from our peers. However the name of this process is called language. Language plays a vital role in the life of a human being. It helps us from interacting with other people around us. Different situations change the way we communicate with others. For instance, the dialect used for an individual to talk to his/her baby is completely different than presenting a proposal to a manger. To communicate thoroughly we have to send a message in words, gestures or action. Nowadays we communicate through numerous technological advances. Our main goal is to make communication simpler for every individual to understand. In a business field one has to use various types of communication skills to interact with many diverse individuals. For example, a presenter has to analyze his audience first and then create a presentation fitting for that specific audience. This lets the audience to understand the speaker and respond favorably to asked questions. Our presenters way of communication is also known as technical communication. Technical communication has to be precise, simple and informative. Technical communication plays a very vital role in
