My Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
DQ 1 SWOT: Are You Ready for This?
In order to thoroughly understand why I am pursing my DBA in project management, I thought it best to complete my SWOT Analysis in a matrix format that simplifies and explains areas for growth and opportunities. The various areas I have noted in my SWOT give me great potential for stretching myself. As I look at each quality, either good or areas that need improvement are character marks or stepping stones to further stretch me professionally and personally. I do believe that the stretching to succeed depends upon the will of the individual and how bad he or she wants to further them. Each of these qualities allows me to view each area and to devise short-term and long-term plans to improve those qualities mentioned above. By putting a plan together to stretch myself, gives me a gauge or model to review my successes or failures along the way. This plan will allow me to be very effective on my job, home and in every area of my life.

    Last week, I implemented an academic strategy from one of my five StrengthsQuest themes. I found that most of my themes provided academic strategies to keep me motivated in school. Undoubtedly, these strategies are helpful in advancing for the future, but I felt that these strategies would not drastically impact my studies in the course of a week. Nonetheless, I found a study technique in my Restorative Theme packet that seemed like it could make a monumental difference in the way I read class texts. This strategy is a study technique to use when reading class text; it tells one to mark different sections in the text that the reader may want to return to later.…
