Team Work Personal Statement

After consulting with my team members and hearing their thoughts, I gained a lot of insight as to how my performance as a team leader was. I asked them to give me their thoughts on my first week of being a team leader and then I asked them again in regards to my second week of being a team leader. The changes they told me about were quite surprising. For starters, my team told me that my first leadership week wasn’t too great. They said I was not vocal or authoritative enough so they didn’t really know what they were supposed to be doing while we were out of class. Also, during my week we were doing the video assignment and they said that during the meeting which we were recording, I was too quiet and wasn’t leading the discussion like a leader should. Overall, they said I did not act or communicate like a leader during my first week. Now, following my second week as team leader, there were some major changes in the group’s feedback. During this week we started working the T6 assignment, and this time the group told me they had a much clearer idea of what their roles were as I assigned everyone a task. For example, Lisa and Kerine were assigned to revise the T2 and T4 assignments and they felt much better about knowing what it was they had to do. In sum, after my second week as a team leader my team members responded saying I was much better with communication and actually leading them.

A community-focused, dedicated and accomplished Disability Support Worker, I am actively pursuing a challenging new career opportunity where I can utilise my qualifications, skills and demonstrated experience spanning 12 years. Proven ability to deliver activities to enhance the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of children, youths, adults, aged clients and families, with a strong emphasis on protection, understanding and support. Leading by example with compassion and professionalism, I possess strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to provide social and emotional support to wide-ranging clients whilst promoting independence and self-worth. I have demonstrated a high level of proficiency related

Another team experience came during my first year of undergraduate studies. In this experience, I had the opportunity to work for Texas Tech under one of my professors. The task that I was assigned with was to help with the transition of one online class system to another. Overall, there was a lot of work that had to be done in order to meet the specified deadlines. Personally, I was put in charge of creating two classes in the new format of Blackboard that the university was planning to switch to. With all of the work that had to be done for each class, the professor made specific students in charge of certain classes and then gave each person in charge a team of other students to help the leader with the class. As a team leader, I was responsible for delegating certain objectives out to the rest of the team, while also performing my own tasks. Each task had a concrete deadline to meet and it was crucial that I meet all set deadlines if I expected the rest of my team to meet their deadlines. This helped to hold everyone accountable because if one member of the team slacked, then it gave a bad look to the team as a whole. Furthermore, we had a peer review system put in place

While the knowledge that many amenities that are expected in America are not remotely available in some regions of Africa is common, shoes usually do not top that list. While many American cities institute laws requiring those in public to wear shoes, some African villages find the concept of footwear foreign. The problem of shoelessness extends beyond just comfort, as foot injuries spread disease, create life long disabilities, and reduce the quality of living for many children. Giving shoes to these children, then, seems like a fitting answer to a desperate situation. Companies built upon that answer such as TOMS shoes, however, end up contributing to impoverished conditions that drive shoelessness rather than reducing it in the long run.

I completed my senior project at the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA). Through the course of the project I learned about the engineering division’s responsibilities within RTA and received the full picture of how a large construction project is built from beginning to end. I greatly benefited from this experience as it has increased my interest in the engineering field.

My Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary studies concentrated on Human Service. This degree is unique in a way that it allows students to choose his/her own path of education. I chose the disciplines of nursing, education and psychology. I completed a clinical semester in a nursing home facility. Direct physical contact with patients was something that was very eye opening for me.

I would love to become a staff member again on Viper as you can see from my extensive amount of applications. I feel like becoming a staff member will double the love I have for Viper. Also, of course, I have a great passion to help out on the server and help to clear out the server of cheaters and rule breakers as I believe these types of people ruin the experience for others by, as I say later in my application, using the skills I have learnt from previous experience and. Furthermore, I recently decided to stop cheating, something I had done for a very long time, without staffing or cheating I have no motivation to play and have been playing mini games for the last month. Also from this experience, I have gained a broad knowledge of the act of cheating and hiding

I was looking for an interactive study abroad experience where I could obtain more experience doing fieldwork, and found this specific program. The aspects of this class that primarily caught my attention were the opportunity to do fieldwork, travel to a different continent, camp/hike in one of the worlds famous regions (Amazon rainforest), and the opportunity to widen my knowledge of biodiversity and how to calculate it.

Read your discussion board presentation. I have to applaud you for the courage, strength, and perseverance qualities that you possess among all the life’s curves that come your pathway and still wanting to achieve the goal to complete the PHD program through North Central University. As I have just joined the program, you have given me the mindset to keep it going no-matter what obstacles come my pathway. I worked in a Healthcare setting for more than 25 years as a Unit Secretary, Monitor Technician and wanted something more to life. I decided to go back to school and wanted to pursue a career in Accounting and looking at the real world, realized that I should continue my education one more step further in order to be able to withstand

After traveling to Nicaragua one summer, a friend and I founded a ministry called SoleFood. SoleFood is a ministry whose goal is to collect shoes for underprivileged children in Nicaragua. My friend Sophie and I spent a week in a rural village in Nicaragua and we were tired of seeing children running around with muddy and scraped feet. While I was in Nicaragua, I served on a medical mission team where we cared for their physical and spiritual needs. When it came time to leave, I did not want to stop serving them. That’s when we thought of SoleFood and how we could carry our ministry back to America. In order to support our newly founded non-profit, we had no choice but to ask friends and family for donations. The thought of asking someone for money makes the hairs on my arms stand up. It makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward. We asked for help by writing letters and informing the recipient of our intentions , and how we would be using their donations. As I wrote these letters I felt as if I were

Taking initiative in life can be the difference between being stagnant and being a dynamic and multifaceted individual. My personal mission in life has always been to take the initiative to put my goals into perspective and make the most of my education and experiences. I believe taking action and capitalizing on opportunities that present themselves are central to success. The quintessential values that I strive to emulate are diligence and persistence in my work. Interacting and exchanging ideas with peers to me is extremely important because it gives multiple perspectives to a single issue. I pride myself on doing things without being told to and like to brainstorm possible solutions for improvements. My principal strengths are my ability to adapt to and overcome the obstacles I face, both as a student and as a person. I believe that taking action and

Three years ago, I started my journey to provide shoes for the fifth graders attending the J.B. Sutton Elementary School. Now, three schools in the same school district were given shoes for their fifth grade students. However, if an individual would have told the fifteen-year-old me that one day this would be happening, I would have laughed because the challenges of providing shoes for one school were astronomical. It would entail that the shoe committee would need to raise $4,000, measure around 300 feet, and find a way to deliver all of the shoes to the children. Other challenges that arose over the years were the schools’ administration changing frequently and having to explain what our mission was and why we were providing the shoes. Furthermore, another dilemma was that the fifth grade students were regularly be absent, suspended, or relocate to a different school district, which inhibited the team from garnering proper shoe sizes and totals. Another exceedingly oppressing obstacle our team would face was dealing with a student who was wearing a shoe that was undersized. For instance, our compassion would compel us to ask why the child wasn’t wearing the proper shoe size and they would answer with chagrin because it would be due to their parents not being able to buy them a

In this season of my life, I find myself residing in the most opportune time to reflect on my managerial competencies, as my surrounding environment in which I now lead and manage, has taken a dramatic shift. The eight roles identified by the Competing Values Framework that are essential for effective management, do not make the smoothest transition from a multi until store manager in a retail environment, to a Director of Children’s Ministry in a religious institution. The competencies in which I excelled in Corporate America, I find are not the strengths I need to tap into to find success in my new role. Therefore, in order to achieve the vision of what comparable success is in my new role, I need to build on my competencies that display weakness in regards to the Competing Values Framework that will be the defining factor of my success or failure.

To be an effective leader, you must influence your followers and motivate them towards a common goal. This can be achieved in several ways, but there are a few qualities that really stand out to me as the most important. The first of which is integrity. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. (Northouse, 2016). As a leader, it is imperative that you demonstrate loyalty, dependability and the highest moral character. If your followers do not believe you have integrity, it will be extremely difficult for you to garner their trust and inspire the confidence needed to eventually influence them to work with you in achieving a common goal.
