( will require to rewrite this once we are done with the brochures to incorporate the finer details of each program) Build Personal Effectiveness for achieving professional success.

Content area F, Behavior-Change Systems, includes the task list item F-01: Use self-management strategies. My submission for this content area are the field notes from lesson 7 in SPE 520, which demonstrates my understanding of self-management strategies. Self- management is comprised of 4 applications: Living more efficient daily lives, breaking bad habits and gaining good ones, the accomplishment of difficult tasks, and achieving goals (Cooper, Heron, and Heward, 2007). Self-management is the personal application of a plan and the implementation of a contingency as part of a behavior change program.

In “Strengths Finder 2.0,” Tom Rath informs us that, “You cannot be anything you want to be- but you can be a lot more of who you already are” (Rath p9). I agree with him in the fact that we must focus on our strengths rather than trying to better our weaknesses in order to become successful. So many people today put their attention towards improving their weaknesses that they are surpass by others who focus on their strengths. After learning my own personal strengths, I have a better understanding of who I am and how to focus on these both in school and in the workforce.
The two self-test I chose to take were the Myers-Briggs Inventory and Strength Finder 2.0. My thoughts about both self-test were an interesting experience. In the Strength Finder 2.0, the author Gallup’s made interesting point when he talked about the “A Misguided Maxim?” “You can be anything you want to be, if you just try hard enough.” (5)
The Strengths Finder Assessment is a test that scores with five strengths that you possess. These strengths will help you reach full potential with any career that you go into. These five strengths can be very beneficial in helping an individual be successful. After taking the assessment, I was scored with Deliberative, Context, Futuristic, Restorative, and Individualization.
The textbook discusses multiple different types of assessments; some of these include a self-report measure, informant reports, and by measuring behavior. Self-reports are usually manifested in questionnaires where an individual is asked to assess their own personality by ranking themselves based on statements or adjectives. On the other hand, informant reports come from people involved in the individual’s life. These usually work best for undesirable traits because an individual may not be aware of these traits or may not want to report that he possesses the traits. Measuring behavior is done through means of observation much like what is done in the movie I Heart Huckabees (Twenge & Campbell, 2016).
Are your strength or problem-focused? I considering myself a strength focus (strengths-bases approach), because the person or an organization is presented with a problem that need to be solve. Therefore, for strengths-based approaches or strengths-based approaches is the best method since it concentrates on the inherent strengths of individuals, families, groups, and organizations, deploying personal strengths to aid recovery and empowerment. To focus on health and well-being is to embrace an asset-based approach where the goal is to promote the positive (Toner, 2016).
Nevertheless, it is the way that friction is approached that makes a difference. By applying my positive attitude and sense of finding a common ground among coworkers, it will enable me to apply this strength to my daily life. Lastly, the strength of achiever was a lesser theme for me compared to my other top strengths. I sometimes take on too many tasks and want to accomplish many things in order to make me feel good about myself. I am extremely committed to everything I do and influence others to succeed in what they do.
According to the Gallup findings on my Strengths Finder Assessment, I tend to go with the flow and take things as they come (adaptability), and enjoy life and the beauty in it, as well as avoid unnecessary stress for self and others (Gallup). I remember once in a social assignment that I was heading, where I was required to lead a team to come up with ideas on how to improve a church outreach program. As the leader, I wanted everything to work out well in consideration of timeliness, quality, and in involving all team members to feel ownership and participation throughout the process. By identifying these three characteristics (timeliness, quality, and involvement), my strengths of adaptability, strategy, relator,
Building professional behavior throughout your organization creates an environment of courtesy, trust and corporate commitment. Participants will enjoy their learning experience through interactive examples and role play (Oschman, 2000). Each module can be tailored to include your corporate culture and the philosophies that your organization is building. This course is an excellent reminder of how professional behavior is missing from our day-to-day interactions with our colleagues and co-workers. Participants will leave with at least one solid idea on how to enhance their professional image within the corporate
1. The principles of strength based practice include the recognition of the strengths that exist in every individual, group, family, and community. It involves reframing the commonly adopted practice of noticing deficits within those entities and altering the way we conceptualize challenges, recognizing that however difficult they appear they also present opportunities for change. The individuals’ viewpoints and aspirations need to be accounted for and respected. They greatly benefit from collaborative relationships as well.

Introduction “Soft skills get little respect, but will make or break your career.” This popular quote from Peggy Klaus certainly gives an idea of the importance of these soft skills in one’s career. Also in Stephen Covey’s book ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’ he states that in his career spanning more than 25 years in business, university and other fields, he has come in contact with several individuals who have achieved pinnacles of outward success but somehow have found themselves struggling with an inner hunger which includes a need for personal development and developing a healthy as well as effective growing relationship with people, (Covey, 1989). Directly or indirectly he explained the importance of these skills. One may question what does actually mean by this term, well soft skills can be defined as personal characteristics that enable an individual to interact effectively and harmoniously with other individuals.
As a result of this I recognize the education at university is not enough as I thought and if I need to be a professional I should develop my skills in professional way. For this reason I decided to take this course. In this course I learned how to develop my abilities to be effective and more organize in order to encourage myself and my team for work. Before that it is important to rate myself to know where I am exactly and what I need to develop.
