To me, being a peak performer is making sure that you do and learn whatever possible to make sure that you succeed in whatever you want to accomplish in life. When trying to accomplish a goal, you will encounter many obstacles and the way you deal with the situation will determine if you are a peak performer or not. Choosing to just simply give up when things becoming challenging is not a characteristic of a peak performer. As stated by Bethel University (2013, page 6),"They are not perfect or successful overnight. They learn to face their fear of making mistakes and working through them." Taking control of your life and becoming a life-long learning will help you to develop the skills to become a peak performer. Evaluating yourself and not …show more content…

I can now think of ways that will help me learn. Doing rhymes can help me remember some information. I can also do things like make up a song to help me learn. Doing simple things like repeatedly saying or reading new information out loud can help me more than reading or making diagrams. Turning off other noises like the television and cell phone can be a distraction to me. I 've always tried to avoid noisy distractions because they break my concentration. One thing I can 't do is study or do work in a noisy atmosphere. Making flashcards for reviewing information and reciting them out loud can be very beneficial to

    Professional Strength Analysis

    A professional strength that I have is patience which is a powerful skill when learning something new and working with diverse populations.

    Worse Case Scenarios: A Case Study

    Introduction It is important, in any profession or stage of life to understand how one's self works. We greatly underestimate the need for self-evaluation i.e understanding our stressors, limitations, dealing with various crises that may arise in life and how to properly attend to it. Having this knowledge of yourself may better equip you with truly helping another. Worse Case Scenarios Three worse case scenarios that may be difficult to address would be the death of a spouse, death of a child, and rape or sexual assault. According to James and Gilliland (2013), the death of a loved one, job loss, and rape or sexual assault would be considered situational crises.…

It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…

    Liberal Learning Outcomes: A Case Study

    The diverse ways in which critical thinking can be applied are astonishing. One may find themselves in a group project working towards a common goal and an individual would find it immensely helpful to be able to process the ideas or statements and go through steps exploring possible problems, solutions, and meanings. In a professional environment, possessing this skill would demonstrate not only competency, but leadership. In a meeting, one may be asked what one thinks of the ideas that have been discussed and it would serve one well to be able to analytically and intellectually reflect on what has been discussed and arrive at an answer to a problem that one’s peers would comprehend. Possessing the skill of thinking critically is crucial in all parts of life; it is a skill that will be easily noticed and assist one in answering any question that…

Right out of high school making the decision of what you are going to do for the rest of your life is scary, so I juggled back and forth from teaching and nursing.

    My Leadership Strengths And Weaknesses

    Throughout this semester, the most useful lesson I learned was from doing this self-assessment, which assisted in having a clearer understanding of who I am and who I will become. More importantly, they allowed me to better understand my own strengths and weaknesses, and how to better develop them. This understanding is essential to me as a future practitioner in the events industry. In this essay, I will discuss my own leadership style as “pacesetting” based on the self-assessment result proposed by Daniel Goleman (2000). I will first discuss my leadership strengths (e.g., time management) and weaknesses (e.g., lack of negotiation skills) retrieved from the self-assessment and my daily life.…
