Professional Development Pre-work

Please respond to the following questions in a reflection (4-6 sentences):

• What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

I would have to say that my greatest strength is my ability to know when to ask for help. I am a firm believer in asking questions and being honest about when I need help. I have always preferred to learn how to do something the right way the first time, instead of making unnecessary mistakes. That being said, I also value the lessons that can be learned from making mistakes. Sometimes learning what doesn't work or what to avoid doing can be essential in preventing the same mistakes in the future.

• How do you work best?

Empathy

• What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy is something that I struggled with years ago. Becoming aware of this encouraged me to make a conscious effort to change how I interact with others. Once I started focusing on being empathetic, I believe it helped me to grow positively as an individual. Regularly practicing empathy has improved relationships in my life, personally and professionally. Taking the time to not only listen, but try and relate to others has opened my mind to so many new perspectives and ideas, that I would not have had the privilege of understanding otherwise.
