With completing the first course of the LEAD program, I was able to benefit from a variety of new skills to have academic success. I have the chance of discovering new learning outcomes and acquired knowledge. As adult learner, we need to learn how to manage our time and use resources to manage our time to accomplish our academic goal. To grow as a person, we need to identify our own strengths to overcome our weaknesses. This course had satisfied my expectations and I will use the knowledge acquire in this course to accomplish my future goals as a leader to focus on helping others and to perform beyond their expectations. One of the biggest topic for me in class was time management. I still need to be more aware on how to use my time …show more content…
I am creative and take initiative at work place. I like to give more ideas to my supervisor and managers. I have taken initiative to change the way we order the milk for Paterson School District. I got an opportunity to sit with the IT Department to design the program. I took imitative to present the program and how can be done without anybody telling me which was appreciated by my managers. Another strength is self-confidence. I am highly confident personally as well as professionally to talk to and handle the customers. I got appreciation on comment letter by guest so many times. I am confident enough to talk diplomatic way with my co-workers and managers when needed. On my lower strengths, I found out that I totally get upset and very tense while working on my assignments. The assignment I am doing if something from it cannot understand made me very irritating and frustrated. I am very reserve personality because I don’t like to approach others without any concerns. It is hard for me to focus on different issues on one time. Strengths is something like make you feel power when you finish the task. For instance, I have been working on my final paper since we start the semester three weeks ago, and now that aim almost done I feel energizes spiritually even though I feel exhausted physically. Learning these basic skills in class have help grow professionally. Uncovering hidden strengths will allow you growing and transformation to
My second key strength is showing gratitude to others. If someone does something for me or helps me develop a new skill. I show gratitude to them by thanking them, and I tell them that really appreciate their help. I am there for that person when they need my help.

Strength is that part of your intellect or nervous system that is more effective and productive than other parts. Throughout your experience of life, your actions or reactions drive different thoughts, behavior and emotion in your brain. The requests that are processed more efficiently and rapidly are known as your strengths. Nowadays, strengths-based approaches to work and life are gaining a lot of popularity and often they are used to improve leadership and create more productive and efficient work teams.
These strengths include organization, participation, and creation of checklists. I feel I stay very organized in this class, as I have all of my documents organized inside my binder ready for a notebook check. In regards to participation, I try my best to raise my hand nearly every class. I stay active and focused so that I can obtain all of the information. I also ask questions frequently which helps me to avoid mistakes or any confusion. My final strength, the fact that I create checklists, has benefitted me immensely. Checklists help to make sure all requirements are met for any project or essay, which is how I received a 91 on my Pilgrim Presentation and an 85 on my Canterbury Tales Short Essay. Checklists have helped me to score higher on assignments with multiple requirements, but not all assignments were as simple as creating a
My personal strengths are that I am a keen learner and organized person because like Benjamin Franklin I believe that if I fail to plan then I am planning to fail. Above all I am confident that I have made the right choice and that I am a suitable candidate for
Based on the Clifton Strengths Assessment my top five strengths are strategic, deliberative, learner, maximize and individualization. As an individual, I rarely look into my weakness. I believe that when your too focused on your weakness, you forget about your strengths. Everything the book said is true, and we need to take the time to look at our strengths and make it perfect. It is true that in this world or the school system, we are taught to look at our weakness and correct it so that we can become stronger in our life. This book brings out the truth that I longed to hear for a long time. Invariably, I hear my professor tell their students that for them success in life, they must practice and look at our weakness. This book proves it wrong because for us to become successful, we must stay to our strengths’ path.
In addition to my personal challenges my personal strengths interfer. A personal strength I have is talking , I love sharing my opinion. Another personal strength I have is giving good advice because I love helping people solve their problem or help make their lives easier. Lastly another personal strength I have is just listening because I am a good person to vent to because I don’t judge. Therefore I always spread positivity and lean a hand.
Strengths are “natural talents and abilities that have been supported and reinforced with learned knowledge and skills.” (Daft, ch.15) My personal strengths have developed over time and will continue to evolve as I learn more about leadership and management. My strengths are: an Internal Locus of Control, Authentic Leadership and Emotional Intelligence.
Knowing one's strengths is a strength within itself. When one looks at herself and begins to search for her strengths, she realizes that finding them may not be as easy as it seems. After taking the time to evaluate myself, I found that diversity is my strongest quality. Though my class rank is not as high as I desire for it to be, I have achieved more than I ever thought I would while continuing to grow academically. While I made strides in my academic growth I was partaking in multiple clubs, extracurriculars, a part-time job, and a varsity sport.
The strengths I have: being efficient and organize. I have to have everything a particular manner before I write, perform, or do almost any jobs. Occasionally this can cost me lots of time. The weaknesses that I have are a perfectionist and impatient at times. I was used to working at a substantially faster rate than those around me. Sharing information and interacting with others is when I learn best. Understanding my weaknesses assists me to plan methods to conquer them when I am doing tasks and socializing with others. I must be kinder to myself and less strict about matters being merely so. I also need to be more delicate and comprehensible of others who tend not to take up my perfectionist styles. I also should be patient with people who take longer time to work. Since I have got a tendency to delay works when I do not feel like doing anything, I, therefore, need to create a regular schedule with integrated rewards and times for learning and acquiring assignments done.
When one thinks of strengths, many think of it as the physical aspect but the reality is that strengths consist of both physical and personality aspects. “A strength is the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in a specific activity. The key to building a strength is to identify your dominant talents, then complement them by
Before entering college, I have never done any survey that could point out my strengths. However, currently I know what my five strengths are and I am trying to focus on it to make it more powerful and useful. Five of my strengths are restorative, includer, consistency, responsibility and positivity. I do not know it is exactly right for me and it also depends on the situation. At the moment, I found out that four of the strengths are true to me, however, positivity, it does have it in my blood but if I am on a deadline for assignment and I have not finished it, I would not be positivity.
My top five strengths are Includer, Strategic, Achiever, Responsibility, and finally Positivity. My strengths are being responsible since when I was a little girl. By always doing my homework and bring on time to everywhere. Responsibility is very important to be able to have a job or to have good grades.My mother has taught me to always be on time to a place or to in event. That responsibility is the main success to life and achieve all the goals and dreams. My weakness are being shy and that affects sometimes includer because I’m afraid to be refuse by someone when I ask them to join. I also start blushing a lot when I speak to big crowd of people or have to go to the front and present a project or something. This has been my biggest weakness since when I was young my hands will start sweating. The opportunities that I have now by taking this class was by knowing more the people. How to treat them and become a better leader for the world and for the society out there that they judge a lot and that get mad easily. The threats that I have to face in the future are knowing how to be the best leader I can possibly be. Sometimes not everyone will like me and that will be hard and tough on life but I have to face them and work it out.
