a. Describe specific examples by indicating the time on the video that the event occurred and supporting background details of what happened to help support your answer. Three things that I executed well during my personal training session were stating a clear plan, communicating about an injury, and wrapping up the session. For example, in minute :08- 1:17, in the beginning of the session I stated what the plan for the session was.

I will let them also introduce themselves, For example, stating their names or preferred names to be called. What they wish to accomplish by the end of the session. This will serve as an ice breaker helps promote a friendly and welcoming environment.
This is great information, what caught my attention was the fact that small business gives equal opportunity to women and minorities. That is an important factor and that is also one thing that I feel is key in why small businesses are so important. Upon doing research I learned that small businesses paid almost fifty percent of the U.S. payroll and this payroll was towards individuals who may not have been qualified for jobs at larger corporation.
