my personal stance 1 my personal stance 4 My Personal Stance Jason S. Eadens Benedictine University My Personal Stance I guess one of the hardest things to write, is a reflection on yourself. In the class, Human Dignity/ Common Good I have had the chance to reflect on myself, and see the room where improvement needs to be made. Over the course we have gotten a chance to find our top 5 strengths, understand multicultural awareness, stewardship and Humble Inquiry. To look at how I can put this class to better use in myself is no small task. First, I want to say that when I took the quiz to find out my top 5 strengths I was not surprised. It was kind of funny to read them off the screen the first time; I was like duh I know that, that describes The test came back that I was a strong Relator. I find that kind of shocking because the thing I am finding as my weakness is relating to my wife. This is why I am personally going to marriage counseling to seek help relating to her. However, I do find it easier to relate to people at work or in a business environment. Even though I see Relator as a weakness and a strength, my marriage counselor has told me that it is not that relating is not my strength, but I have to get more in depth with my emotions to relate to my wife. Emotions is my wife strength and I have a hard time relating to that because I truly do not always understand her emotions, which makes her feel disconnected from me. In this course I have learned a lot, but unfortunately I am still stuck with the National Obsession of fixing what is wrong(Soar With Your Strengths Hardcover – September 1, 1992, 1992). See my marriage means more to me than anything! I cannot cut my wife off and focus on my strengths to make them standout when my weakness is causing my marriage to suffer. Therefore, I am doing my best to work on my weakness with my wife mostly everyday while keeping my strengths in check and not forgetting about

  • What Are My Strengths And Weaknesses

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    My five strengths according to the strength finder include; balance, this helps me be aware of treating all people equally regardless of the situation. I am neither in anyone 's favor or against anyone as this to me is selfishness and individualism. This would result in a situation where some people scale heights due to connections while others are lagging behind. I believe that a consistent environment where the rules apply to everyone is the best for individuals to function best (Rath, 2007). Flexibility is my next strength. By knowing that things do not always work out as planned has helped me change the tactics of how I perform my tasks. I do not always expect to have a smooth flow of opportunities or accomplish goals, but

  • Gallup Strength Finder Assessment Essay

    791 Words  | 2 Pages

    This was also referred to as The Advocate which I thought was very appropriate for our assingment. The results state that The Advocate has a strong sense of morality, likes finding solutions for others and one of the strengths listed was that this personality type makes excellent counselors. This type is known for seeing through manipulation and dishonesty and getting to the heart of matters with truth and sincerity. I can see that all of these personality traits are crucial for helping others and dealing with the conflict that arises when advocating for those who are oppressed and face discrimination. Some of the weaknesses stated for this personality type are perfectionist, impatient, extremely private, sensitive, and burn out easily. As I read the weaknesses, I realized that I need to keep self care a priority throughout my education and future career. It also makes sense that a lot of my self care practices are about introspection and finding balance. I think that this assessment was very accurate of my personality and I enjoyed reading about The Advocate personality

  • The Language of Love

    Great, another personality trait typing test is in the books! Had I not previously known who I was, I would have no excuses for not knowing following these past seven weeks! Actually though, this week’s assessment was somewhat different and more personal than the previous the week’s experiences. Having my wife take the Love Languages test was as much fun as it was interesting. However, there were no surprises amongst us. We each know who we are and what we do and do not like. Most importantly, we are not afraid to talk about and tackle any issues that are looming on the horizon. There are no fester files containing unresolved issues in the Isherwood household. Both of us truly believe that our problems will not get better through time or distance, therefore we address them in the here and now. Our mantra is quite simple, “if something does not seem right, most likely it is not, so let’s talk about it”.

  • Communication Strengths And Weaknesses Essay

    744 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first strengths to communication are (responsibility for communication) the meaning of responsibility for communication means when someone knows how the person is feeling, and when someone sees them self in their shoes of any person they are talking with. For example, a woman starts to talk to the men about her having problems about her job. Once the woman talks to the mean about the situation the man starts to feel what the women is feeling and understands being in the same situation she is in. in this kind of situations ,I’m understandable when someone is going through the worst time and other times I can relate to these people I talk to. When I communicated when people are going through a rough time I communicate with them by giving asking them the question about something good that has to happen to them. My last strengths are (Flexible). The meaning of Flexible in a conversation is when the person has a good way to talk and thinking about what they are going to say before they talk. For example, a kid can ask the teacher a question, but the teacher seems to be busy. So a way the teacher would be Flexible is for the kid, is by thinking about what she is going to say, to organize her thoughts before she communicates. When it comes to a situation where someone talks to me, and I’m busy, or mad what I do is think before what I’m going to say before saying something I will

  • My Strengths And Strengths Of My Life

    1113 Words  | 3 Pages

    My results from the Strengths Finder Test are as follows; futuristic, deliberative, discipline, consistency, and restorative. I definitely agree with futuristic. My future is what motivates me. I am always thinking about what I can do now to make a better and brighter future for myself and be successful and happy. I agree with deliberative as well. I tend to be a serious person and I am always looking for the next mistake so that I can fix or prevent it right away. I don’t like when things go sideways, which is weird because I tend to procrastinate and those usually go hand in hand. Discipline is something that is very important to me and I agree with this 100%. I like to have a plan and I like each part of that plan to have a plan. Being organized and ready for what comes next is important to me so I believe that this is very true to my personality. Consistency is another attribute that describes me pretty well. I like balance and I like when people are treated fairly. Lastly there is restorative. I like solving problems and finding a solution when needed, although I do not necessarily seek out a problem to try to fix it. I tend to solve problems when they are brought to my attention.

  • Reflection Of Leadership: Theory, And Trait Approach

    Other strengths include being self-confident, conscientious, diligent and determined. It was interesting to see my lower scores as well; the lowest average score was sensitivity (3.2), followed closely by self-assuredness and perception and empathy. Although I consider myself sensitive, I believe the sense of sensitivity does not apply as often towards others I interact with. For example, I often speak my mind and voice my opinion with little thought of the consequence or impact it might have on those around me. Thus, sensitivity is not one of my existing strengths, but rather an opportunity for growth. I also found it interesting to note how I scored significantly lower in the human skill, and higher in technical, which I did not expect. This score likely correlates with my score form the LTQ, which identified room for improvement in relating with
