I reminded myself about some general skills such as being self-aware that certain aspects of my persona might be challenging when developing a good rapport. For instance, my Hispanic ethnicity and accent could potentially intimidate the client and evoke certain responses. Regardless of the cultural difference, I felt cultural competent to conduct the interview due to the several years I have lived in the United States. Either way, to avoid a cultural barrier, I tried relating myself to the client
many similarities and many differences, which make us different. While I may not seem like the kind of person to compare to Huck, I have found many things that make me just like him. For starters, Huck’s love for nature is similar to my love for camping the woods. Huck’s father is never there, and when he is there, he’s a poor father at that; while my dad has never been there and left before I was born. But while we have a lot in common Huck and I have many differences as well. From the way we dress
in my mind as a leader is to "never settle". Whenever I can help someone from my work even is he/she belongs to another department, I do it. The more we learn, the better. A complete leader must know about everything, so I always seek to develop in other areas in my work. Thanks to that, I have been able to work in several departments. But this isn’t the only thing that leads us to success as leaders. A vital thing is to have constancy and to hard work. I am proud to say that something that I have
Joining in the 3rd Model IFRC General Assembly. Living in overseas without family had to adapt myself for culture and language. It makes me grew up. I have learned many things from this. And the most important of to be country’s representative have to maintain the country's image. And do my best as possible. I have experienced with the Korean culture, lifestyle of Korean people. I have seen the differences between Thailand and Korea. I was exiting, this my first time that I have listened Korean people
dreams off the expectations of the people around me because I thought they had my best interests at heart, I never did what i wanted and I even made sure to ask what others expected of an outcome before I took on a task just so I could aim to please them. It was only after an unfortunate life changing event and years of searching for myself that i realized who i truely am and was able to come to a conclusion that if it wasnt for that incident i would not be who i am today.
When starting with yourself, you are changing yourself before you change others. We need to be gentle with ourselves and start with baby steps. As teens we need to keep promises to ourselves, do small acts of kindness, be gentle with ourselves, be honest, renew ourselves, and tap into our talents. I love to change the world, but after reading this book I learned I need to start with myself first. The second part of the book in private victory is habit number 1,”Be proactive”. Listen
besides myself and Coach Perkins. Being the last day of school before the long-awaited Christmas Break, many students had opted to not attend for the measly two and a half hours. Early that morning, I had reluctantly crawled out of bed and changed from my warm pajamas into jeans and a spirit shirt, but my change in attire failed to compensate for my tiredness. I yawned loudly as Coach Perkins and I took seats at a small, but tall, table surrounded by four elongated stools. I forced myself to focus
In leadership literature leaders are generally defined as “. . . individuals who significantly influence the thoughts, behaviors, and/or feelings of others” (Gardner and Laskin, 1995, p. 6). The primary focus, then, is on an individual who will direct or influence a group of followers. But in a global multicultural economy where interaction is between managers from various cultures and perspectives, this leader–follower model may be outdated. Global leadership might better be thought of as “a process
the children. I can remember certain situations when I was just a jerk to kids that couldn’t help it. One in particular still stands out, when a little boy was not listening to my directions at all. I got so mad and angry that I just lost it. I yelled at that boy and it crushed him. Writing about it just makes me want to punch myself in the face. I apologized and felt horrible, but I knew he was scared of me and wanted to go home after that. I got so frustrated and angry over something dumb, and
Not everyone is cut out to be a great nurse. It is a calling to want to truly and empathetically care for the sick, injured, mentally ill, or dying. My philosophy is to treat the patient not the disease by listening and making nonjudgmental, educational clinical decisions to help them meet their healthcare goals and needs. The goal as a nurse is to empower, educate, and support our patients to help them succeed. Nurses must learn and be able to keep their own personal beliefs out of clinical decisions
