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

    I would like to enter the University of Charleston’s Athletic Training Program on the basis that I love being around sports and I enjoy working with and taking care of athletes. I first became interested in Athletic Training when I was given a tour of the UNC Athletic Training facility by Kevin Guskiewicz, who is the current dean of UNC College of Arts and Sciences. He was the previous head Athletic Trainer for UNC. After the experience, I quickly enrolled in Athletic Training classes in high school and began to learn the basics for becoming an Athletic Trainer.

For example, a woman starts to talk to the men about her having problems about her job.

Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self-evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.

    My professional attitude is similar. I find that I try to communicate well with others and express my interest through body language such as smiling, eye contact, nodding of my head, etc. I do to show that I can be personable and hope to build good relationships on that. Based on my scores, I also show higher scores for Conventional, Dependant, and/or Avoidance.

I don’t want people to take advantage of me, so I become distant after a certain point. This does cause conflict for me both at work and in my personal affairs.

  • 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

  • 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.
