Abstract
This paper explains that a philosophy, which believes life is a learning experience, plays a pivotal role in an individual being able to engage continuously in self-development and growth, both personally and professionally. The author points out that motivation needs to be accompanied by conscious goal-setting if it is to lead to constructive personal and professional growth. The paper relates that, since an individual?s level of motivation also depends on external factors, it is important for a ?super leader? to focus on facilitating internal change and an environment that encourages achievement.
From the Paper
"In addition, it is important to bear in mind that the socicultural approach sees cognitive activity and motivation as socially constructed. This implies that while a cognitive approach to motivation can be used in determining an individual?s self-regulated behavior, any leader who wishes to positively influence others, would necessarily have to also apply the understanding that motivation hinges on social negotiation and distribution as well. This implies that it is necessary to work with others? views, needs, desires and contexts, and consider these when attempting to encourage them."

From the Paper
"Each day I would check for emails from potential clients but would not be interested in writing for them due to the subject matter or the markets involved. One day I received a telephone call from a former client that expanded her business and needed my services again. The client informed me that other companies have been expanding and needed my services. Conference calls were set up for introduction and discussions into sending proposals to various foundations. I mailed out several contracts totaling 45 and began to receive early portions of monetary retentions."

Abstract
For the nurse, there can be little doubt that the primary function is to provide the best care possible within the limits of policy, practice and ability. To that end, there are limits to what a person can provide and the self, not the institution, determines those. Over the next five years, I will be embarking upon and completing a journey, the end of which will find me in a hospital or clinical setting as a nurse with direct impact and influence upon the outcome of treatment. It will be my responsibility to provide the best care possible, to be aware of the needs of the setting, the physicians and the patient and to be able to balance all of those in my actions. I will be responsible for compartmentalizing my day, my life and all of the demands of the job so that I may remain focused upon the tasks at hand. It will also be an imperative to function fully within the team environment and to be a complete and active member in that team. Finally, it will be incumbent upon me to never stop learning about my practice and craft. It is for these reasons that the development of personal goals is so significant.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This is a series of three short papers, the first two of which are both on the same subject matter, "trust in personal and professional relationships." These two essays use two different rhetorical models for discussing the same subject. The third essay is a process analysis of the writing styles and following the instructions given in order to write the first two essays.
From the Paper
"Can I trust you to take care of that order by tomorrow morning?" the boss asks the new night shift worker. "Sure thing!" Bobby says. As Mr. Smith and his beautiful secretary are preparing to go out of town on a business trip, Mrs. Smith asks, "Can I trust you?" Although the words are the same in both situations, the implications are vastly different. There are several classifications of trust that have major impacts on our lives, but most fall into one of three categories: professional, personal or relationship-based and financial, and within each of these categories the emotional implications of maintaining or losing trust vary widely."

Abstract
This paper discusses the author's decision to return to college in middle age. The essay looks at the brand new start at college, the process of learning and personal, professional and educational goals. The author describes his reasons behinds each decision and how these decisions have affected him.
From the Paper
"Returning to college was a big decision. There were many challenges ahead. One needed to plan all carefully in the goal-setting paper. Most of all, the struggle throughout the personal search during the program was a big obligation to perform.
Just like someone who decided to make a turn on a drive route, taking a second chance in the education might not be everyone?s choice to make a leap for the future. It applied especially for one who was in the senior age, who had gone through the best and the worst part of life and was supposed to do harvesting from his or her early workforce day."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This document discusses the relevance of a Bachelor's of Business program in terms of both professional and personal development. The writer points out that undergraduate business programs provide a baseline of skills and knowledge that provide employers the assurance that future employees who are graduates of such a program are both resourceful and competent. Several courses, both general and core are examined in the context of personal development as well as their importance in the workplace in the funeral home industry specifically. Finally, some recommendations are made to further shift business school course content and delivery methodology into virtual formats.
From the Paper
"A typical college education in any specialty or field implies a certain degree of baseline knowledge, resourcefulness, and organizational capabilities inherent in an individual's academic training who has obtained such a college education. These attributes are even more important and further developed in undergraduate business education programs because the ability of these programs' graduates to make informed and incisive decisions based on real and factual data cannot be overstated. An undergraduate business education program must impart an equal mix of factual knowledge within certain functional areas with that of the appropriate theoretical and reasoning tools requisite to conduct one's self in an informed and authoritative manner in a given industry."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer presents her personal definition of the field of nursing. It includes the four main concepts of nursing, health, the patient, the nurse, and the environment and notes what personal and professional values are inherent in the writer's definition. The paper also provides examples of how the writer's definition is reflected in practice in the ICU. These values are also looked at in relation to the overall Jesuit mission.
From the Paper
"This paper is the statement of my personal definition of nursing. It will first discuss the four concepts of nursing and how I see them. These concepts are: health, the patient, the nurse, and the environment. Next, direct examples will be given that show how my personal definition is applied to actual nursing practice, in my case, in the intensive care unit (ICU). Finally, these ideas will be looked at in light of the overarching Jesuit values and mission. By looking at all of these aspects of my own definition of nursing and application of said idea, an overall picture of caring for others, for their health and their humanity, will be painted. The first concept that makes up my own personal definition of nursing is one of the main tenets of the field: health."

Discusses the author's personal theory of and approach to counseling.

»

Abstract
This paper explains that the development of a personal theory of counseling is an important aspect of becoming a helping professional. The author points out that a personal theory is in itself a process and a tool, which the counselor uses to evaluate the client and his needs and and assess his own effectiveness as a helping professional. The paper relates that the author's own personal philosophy is influenced greatly by the phenomenological and humanistic approaches espoused by Alfred Adler and the existentialists and by the cognitive influences, especially appraisal, choice and responsibility as described by A. Ellis and W. Glasser. The author underscores that the fundamental goal of therapy is not necessarily symptom relief but rather identifying and exploring mistaken goals and ineffective values so that clients can make choices that are more congruent with their true selves.

From the Paper
"Although I believe that humans have strong biological determinants with regard to personality, behavior, thought, and affect, I feel that the complexities of the mind transcend our innate composition such that we can function as unique, healthy, and adaptive individuals in both our internal and external worlds. Unfortunately, we sometimes get side-tracked from living up to our human potential, and our biological determinants then become more dominant. To be human is to be complex."

Professional Counseling, 2007.
An overview and analysis of the importance of professional counseling.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how professional counselors play an essential role in helping individuals achieve their full potential. Experts in any one of a number of fields from education to career to personal growth, today's professional counselors provide services that are distinct from those offered by psychologists and social workers. This paper looks at how, by making use of the principals of mental health, psychology, and human development, counselors apply strategies of cognitive, affective, and behavioral strategies that enable their clients to overcome their problems and reach their goals. The paper also contends that professional counselors differ from other mental health professionals in that they work directly with those needing help by giving advice that is narrowly tailored to their specific needs and problems.
From the Paper
"Given the potentially adverse effects of a loss of professional independence, it is imperative that professional counselors begin to advocate for themselves and their profession. Such advocacy helps both their clients and themselves by advancing necessary causes and emphasizing the benefits derived from professional counseling. Nonetheless, advocacy can present problems of its own. Many of these problems are intrinsically problems of perception, as it easy for advocates to appear to be advancing their cause for strictly selfish ends. (Myers, Sweeney & White, 2002) Advocacy can be extremely useful; however, in getting out the message of counseling and helping to further define it as a profession distinct from other mental health disciplines.

Abstract
Professional portfolios are the vehicle through which teachers can present evidence of their growth and achievements over time. This paper introduces professional portfolios and their attributes as well as the importance of creating and maintaining a professional portfolio in teaching profession. It also briefly highlights their loopholes and pitfalls.
From the Paper
"A comprehensive Professional Portfolio, therefore, would aid continuous development of a teacher besides embellishing his professional competence. Apart from showing professional growth over time in assorted educational situations, a portfolio would provide a venue to undertake reflective thinking, self-provoking exercise and identification of relevant pitfalls. The purposeful and careful documentation of what teachers are doing in school encourages teachers to conduct ongoing self-evaluation and reflection, and provides them with information to guide future self-improvement and professional development."

Abstract
The paper explores the function of professional associations and shows how they establish a baseline of expectations, training and industry skill-sets upon which companies can rely on to establish the competency levels of their workforce. The paper focuses on the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), a leading professional association in the property and construction industry globally. The paper discusses how the role of RICS and other professional organizations has expanded greatly from their original function as more of a social organization for professionals to a more encompassing function with deeper economic ramifications.
Outline:
Overview
Target Association
Professional Development
The Construction Workplace
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The role of professional associations within the contemporary business environment and global economy has grown over the last several decades. While in the past professional associations have served to augment professional licensing services as well as to provide professional licensing services, they were often marginalized at the periphery of the particular industry with which they were associated. Bennett describes professional associations as, "collective bodies that are intermediary between individual business action and state action...they are one of a number of organizations that may influence the development of individual businesses and the wider competitiveness of a nation"(244). Viewed in this manner, the role of professional organizations is much more expansive than that of merely a supporting role to industry in general or a licensing body that contributes professional competencies to an industry."

From the Paper
"My upbringing has been such that work ethic has been ingrained in me. I have worked since I was 16, and even now have a job while studying, although I don't need to work but I feel that it helps me in achieving my ultimate goal of becoming an entrepreneur, for this I have always worked with small family run businesses and I have been working with one for the past 4 years. Compared to large chain stores or other corporations I think this job has given me an insight into many things, which would not have been accessible, and I would not have been able to experience first hand, this hands-on experience is different because the owners put me in different areas of work every few days, so at this point I virtually feel that I can run it my self even now."
