Work and Professional Experience Ed Allen, an author of creative fiction and helpful nonfiction, supposedly wrote "To change is difficult; not to change is fatal" (Thinkexist, 2012), while another said ""Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up" (Leading Thoughts, 2012). These quotes grandly express the premise behind agency. Of course many other could be gathered, people are elegant with regard to the need for constant personal change which leads to growth, but they are not necessary to understand the concept. Agency, as described in the book The Mind at Work by Michael Rose, is the sense that a person can move forward and grow in their personal lives or help initiate growth in someone else. It is a striving to become something and make the world a better place than it would have been if the individual had not lived. Rose (2004, 186) says ""young people 地re realizing how important work will be in their lives, how it will frame who they are and what they can do in the world. They are desperate to be somebody, to possess agency and competence, to have a grasp on the forces that affect them." It is an interesting facet of this concept that a person does not have to willfully produce this effect they can be an unwitting agent as was George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life but in general the individual sees a need and actively seeks to provide for it whether in their own life or

Understanding one’s roles and responsibilities as a counselling professional impacts practice influences the quality of work presented, and sense of satisfaction, along with shaping one’s professional identity. Professional identity comprises the alignment of roles, responsibilities, values, and ethics being consistent with practice. Professional identity development is a complex process through which the sense of unity with a profession is established. Many counsellors view professional identity as a process resulting in companionable personal and professional uniqueness. Gale & Austin (2003) affirm as counsellors ‘engage in this individually unique growth process’, it is hoped that the counselling profession as a whole will be ‘strengthened as they reach a heightened sense of purpose and a synergistic collective identity’. To build a personal relationship with ones chosen a profession, however, it is undeniable that a clear foundation must be established, together with a professional philosophy being constructed which clarifies and distinguishes one’s profession. Conversely, parameters impacting this foundation include personal values,

My job shadow experience was quite interesting. I choose to do something that I don’t really know about. I chose a physiatrist named Dean Smith because I know him already because I have ADHD and he works with kids with ADHD and I have gone to him before to get medications filled. I went to catalpa health in appleton. Because I did it this past friday and I didnt have school so I went for 5 hours. This helped because some people would ask me to leave the room. However I got to watch him work with 14 kids.
To begin, we need to acknowledge that sport plays an important position in the lives of many people around the world today. Sport is not confined to specific boundaries as there are many different fields that sport may permeate itself into. These fields include the sporting and economic sectors, sport sciences as well as the practical and athletic professionals who participate in these fields (Refacuk, 2017). Undoubtedly we cannot ignore the field of sport coaching as a profession, responsible for teaching and mentoring. In this essay, I will define the concept of a blended profession and what ideologies rotate around how a blended professional should be acknowledged as well as how this integrates into the ICCE and SASCOC framework
I was on the leadership team for Intervarsity Multiethnic Christian Fellowship from sophomore year through senior year in college. During my senior year, I also served on the executive board of the Inner Strength Gospel Choir, which was the most challenging — and at the same time, most successful — management experience. It was challenging because I served on the board while studying for the MCAT, which entailed that I had to practice very efficient time management while leading this position. The executive board consisted of six members, all from different colleges and majors within our school, so there was an element of inter-professionalism attached. The scope of the executive board was managing weekly/monthly/yearly promotions/engagements/practices/announcements
When I was five years old my brother had a lung disease and being in the hospital around all the doctors and nurses made me want to go into that career field. That experience made me what to help people in the hospital. I personally hated all those doctors because they didn’t explain or give the patients any comfort or hope. I would like to be different and tell people the truth but also give them comfort and make them feel important not just another patient with a sickness.

My greatest professional accomplishment was when I exceeded the sales quota my first week selling for TruGreen. It was not only my first week in the field selling lawn care service but it was promotion week: this is when all the branches compete against one another to sell the most packages. I wanted to prove that I had what it took even though I was new to the team.
