Introduction
I think the most important part of this course for me was the reminder when it
came to any challenges, in my personal or professional life, no matter if they were
positive or negative, I had to look at my involvement, and how I planned to solve it
the course discussions, reflection assignments, and self-assessments allowed for a
deep dive into trying to get know yourself. I have learned how to prioritize and set
goals to ensure my future success. In this writing I will explore my current state,
desired state, and the execution needed to reach my desired state. Now I have a
better-defined plan for my career goals, and more effectively communicate my
wants.

Desired State/Personal
1) Healthier lifestyle : I aspire to adopt a healthier lifestyle by incorporating
regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, and practicing self-care to enhance my
physical and mental well-being.
2) Social media:Blogging is something else I am interested in. I want to write my
own blog about my everyday life; working and just the everyday monotony of being
a wife/mom/daughter/sister/something to everyone. I believe my everyday struggles
are relatable and I would like to bring humor and laughter into it.
3) Continued professional development: I am committed to ongoing learning and
development to expand my knowledge, skills, and expertise in order to stay current
and competitive in my field.

Desired State/Professional
1) Advanced skill set: I aim to continuously develop and enhance my professional
skills, staying abreast of industry trends and technologies to remain competitive in
the job market and contribute effectively to my field.

2) Leadership opportunities: I desire to take on leadership roles or projects that allow

me to showcase my abilities in guiding and motivating teams, making strategic
decisions, and driving positive change within an organization.

3) Collaboration and teamwork: I strive to work in an environment that fosters

collaboration, open communication, and teamwork, where diverse perspectives are
valued and collective efforts lead to successful outcomes.

Current State/Professional & Personal

Five Values most important to me:

1. Accountability - Accountability is one of the most important values to me.

Everyone needs to take ownership for their work and accountability for their actions
and outcomes. Qualities of accountability are consistence, proactiveness,
responsiveness, and reliability. It can be demonstrated by doing the right thing, even
when it is difficult, by not making assumptions and finding the root causes, and by
managing commitments and responsibilities.
2. Teamwork - Another important value is teamwork. Teams must work together as
one to achieve a common goal. Qualities of teamwork are empathetic, engaging,
supporting, and positivity. It can be demonstrated by reaming loyal to all team
members and being honest in all interactions, welcoming members and understanding
their needs, and being proactive and willing to work hard.
3. Integrity: Upholding honesty, ethics, and moral principles in both personal and
professional interactions. For example, always delivering on promises and being
transparent in communication.

4. Growth: Constantly seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth,

whether through learning new skills, attending workshops, or taking on challenging
projects. For example, enrolling in professional development courses or seeking
feedback to improve performance.

5. Impact: Aspiring to make a positive difference and create meaningful impact in

both personal and professional endeavors. For example, actively participating in
volunteer initiatives or seeking out projects that align with my values and contribute
to the greater good.
Five Passions most important to me:

1. I am seeking first the God and His righteousness.

2. Personal Growth. For example, practicing forgiveness of self and others, accepting
helpful advice from others and prioritizing healthy eating and exercise habits. In one
word, to be passionate about personal growth means to desire to make positive
changes in your lifestyle.
3. Travelling and meeting new friends.
4. Surrounding myself with a support team who is similarly passionate.
5. Being true to myself.

Fears that I need to overcome:

1. Fear of failure: This fear holds many people back from pursuing their goals or
challenging themselves. Overcoming this fear involves reframing failure as a learning
opportunity, developing a growth mindset, and embracing the possibility of setbacks
as stepping stones towards success.

2. Fear of judgment or criticism: The fear of what others may think can limit one's
actions and prevent them from fully expressing themselves. Overcoming this fear
requires building self-confidence, practicing self-acceptance, and focusing on
personal values rather than seeking validation from others.

3. Fear of uncertainty: The fear of the unknown often keeps individuals in their
comfort zones, preventing them from taking risks or trying new things. Overcoming
this fear involves developing resilience, embracing change, and reframing uncertainty
as an opportunity for growth and discovery.

Current State/ Personal

Five strengts:

and actively listening to others.
2. Problem-solving abilities: Being skilled at finding creative and effective solutions
to challenges or issues.

charge in various situations.
4. Adaptability: Being flexible and open to change, able to thrive in different

5. Organizational skills: Being able to manage time, resources, and tasks efficiently,
while staying organized and prioritizing effectively.

Areas that most need improvement:

1. Adaptability: Developing the skill to adjust and thrive in changing circumstances

and environments. Being flexible and open to new ideas and approaches can help
individuals navigate challenges more effectively.
2. Conflict resolution: Strengthening the ability to handle conflicts and disagreements
constructively. This includes active listening, understanding different perspectives,
and finding mutually agreeable solutions.
3. Time management: The better people can multitask, meet deadlines and manage
their time, the more productive they will be at work. So it is my desire to be more
productive.

Self-assessment
1. Recognition of personal and professional alignment: Through the self-assessment
and reflection exercises, I realized that our personal values align closely with the
values of our employer. This newfound realization enables us to appreciate and
understand the significance of our work in a deeper way.

2. Importance of health: I came to understand the importance of health, beyond just

physical well-being. The organization's commitment to creating employee health
programs helped the individual prioritize their own well-being and appreciate the
emphasis placed on health by their employer.

3. Appreciation for work and values: Prior to the assessments, the individual may
have taken their work and its alignment with personal values for granted. The self-
assessments helped us gain a deeper appreciation forour role and the values shared
between our personal and professional life.

Overall, the self-assessments facilitated a greater understanding of personal values,

recognition of the alignment between personal and professional life, and a deeper
appreciation for the importance of health and work within the organization.
