Written communication is different from a telephone conversation or dealing with someone in person; you don't have the luxury of reading the body language or hearing the intonation in the voice. There are times, such as in this assignment, when it is appropriate to express your frustration without being rude. You must be very precise in this letter.
Project 3.5: Mis-ticketed for Flights
As an independent consultant you find yourself traveling frequently to different client sites. Most of your work is done remotely, from your home office, but sometimes an important meeting or presentation requires that you see people in person. You realize the value of developing a relationship with your clients. Even with all of today?s technology you find the best way is still face-to-face.
Since you just recently established your own company, Pro-Active Consultants Inc., you don?t have the resources or luxury of having a secretary to make your travel arrangements so you have to do it yourself.
When you called Jet Express Airlines (you called them directly because you thought you might get a better price than if you used a travel agent) you spoke with a friendly representative named Joyce. You explained to her that you want to fly to St. Louis, Missouri, on Sunday, June 7, because you have a business meeting at the new site June 8 to 10, and then on Thursday, June 11, you want to fly from St. Louis to Nashville, Tenn., to visit a friend, returning to your city on Sunday, June 14.
The first step?booking the flights?was easy?
?Wow,? Joyce said. ?Have I got a deal for you. I can get you to where you want to go for a total of $790.00. That?s a great price considering it?s not a straight, round-trip ticket but what we in the airline industry call an open-jaw ticket.?
You said you needed to confirm your plans with the site manager and talk to your friend in Nashville, to make sure she is going to be available, before you give the agent your credit card number and pay for the flights.
?No problem,? Joyce said. ?I can hold these flights for 24 hours. Just call back before midnight tomorrow.?
After a series of answering machine messages back and forth, you finally got in touch with the site manager and your friend: the dates and times you discussed with Joyce at JE Airlines were fine. When you called the airline to provide your credit card details and secure the flights, you were connected with a different representative named Jonathan.
?I?m sorry, but I can?t find your reservations,? he replied. ?Are you sure you phoned back within 24 hours??
?Yes, I?m sure,? you said. ?This is all I?ve spent my time on in the past 24 hours!? At this point you were getting a little annoyed. Every phone call seemed to eat away 30 to 40 minutes of your time.
?Oh, wait a minute. There it is. It appears your reservations have been canceled,? Jonathan said. ?I don?t know why, but they have gone.? Luckily you wrote down the exact dates and flights that Joyce quoted. Here?s what she had found:
?then frustration set in, one telephone call at a time

Jonathan was patient and, although he couldn?t get you the great deal Joyce did, he was able to get you on the exact same flights for only $38.00 more.
?Fine,? you said, ?I?ll give you my credit card details to guarantee these flights. I?ll put them on my company VISA card number 4321 1238 7898 5000, expiration date 9/06.
?OK,? said Jonathan. ?I?ll email the confirmation to you today?.
Two hours later when you open the email you are shocked.
?Unbelievable!? you shout out loud. ?JE hasn?t included the June 11 leg from St. Louis to Nashville!?
So, you make another phone call to the airline (another hour of your time) and speak with a representative called Ashley, who isn?t as friendly as the first two representatives. She explains that your only option is to purchase a one-way ticket from St. Louis to Nashville for $134.50.
?But that?s $172.50 more than my original quote!?
?Well,? says Ashley with a tone of sarcasm, ?You could always take a bus from St. Louis to Nashville, couldn?t you??
With little choice you agree to purchase the additional ticket but you are not very pleased or impressed. So you decide to write to the airline and express your dissatisfaction, and ask Ashley for a name and address to write to. Here?s the information she gives you:
Donavan Johnson

Essay for admission at a college. The essay background is as follows:

In his 2010 address to representatives of Jesuit universities worldwide, Fr. Adolfo Nicolas, SJ, Superior General of the Jesuits, discussed imagination. He believes that exercising an imagination which grasps reality and involves "a refusal to let go until we get beneath the surface" is a crucial element of Jesuit education. In the same speech, he worried that today's instant and global communication technologies discourage such deep reflection and engagement with the real and instead foster a "globalization of superficiality."

The question, stemming from this information, is as follows:

To Fr. Nicolas, imagination requires going to the depths of reality and recreating (re-imagining) it. Do social media and instant communication pose obstacles to such reflection and serious thinking? How can college students practice serious reflection in our always connected and instantaneous world?

The essay should be 700-1,000 words.

I'm a second year college transfer student so I do require a sophisticated level of writing.

??" "Eliminating Bias". After taking the Harvard Implicit Association Test (HIAT) what have you learned about yourself? How will you deal with this insight as a manager/boss when you are dealing with people from other cultures and ethnic backgrounds? (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/) Please take one of these tests that have a direct relationship to Intercultural Communication and Leadership. Any of the tests will basically meet this requirement. The test is not a test at all but is a fun short game to see how you perceive your surroundings. Takes about 3-4 mins to do.
One of the main points of the Harvard Implicit Association Test (HIAT) is to illustrate the following:
The vast majority of people here in the United States believe that they are not biased, not prejudiced and do not discriminate.
The conscious mind says -- no bias -- BUT -- the unconscious mind may, in fact, have a bias.
The majority of people in the USA, (even those members of the groups against whom bias and prejudice exist) have attitudes consistent with the "majority". This means -- the majority of people in the USA are biased in some way.
In other words -- everyone, regardless of group membership, believes the "right kind" of people are those the culture defines as the "right kind". (By the way -- when individuals from the "out" groups have attitudes consistent with the majority in a culture, and those attitudes are detrimental to the "out" group, --- it is called internalized oppression.)
Answer the 6 questions below
1. What is the theory behind these tests and how does implicit bias work?
2. After taking the Harvard Implicit Association Test ??" what have you learned about yourself?
3. How do you explain any biases if the tests show that you have some? If you do not have any biases as revealed from taking the Harvard tests, how and why do you think this is the case?
4. If the tests demonstrated that you may have some bias ??" how do you intend to reduce or eliminate it?
5. How will you deal with others in your workplace who feel they have no biases but you are aware that they do?
6. How will you manage yourself when, as a manager/boss you are dealing with people from other cultures and ethnic backgrounds and you know how implicit bias impacts ones decisions, attitudes and behaviors?
Use at least three references in addition to the reference you make to the Harvard IAT website. It will be necessary for you to check the research literature to adequately write this paper. Cite your sources and make sure you adhere to APA format. No dictionaries, encyclopedias, or Wikipedia as references ??" these are not considered academic sources. Because this paper is about you, it will be appropriate for you to refer to yourself in first person. In other words, you may make statements like I was surprised at the results of this test.

1. Your personal values, personal vision/mission statement and a personal code of ethics to guide you as a manager or future manager.
2. Your organizations workplace values, culture/climate, vision/mission statement and code of ethics. (If any of these are not published, interpret them from organizational policies, observations and experiences therein, and examples of the organizational climate and/or operational practices.)
3. Your organizations social responsibilities and your appraisal of whether and how effectively it meets those responsibilities.
4. Your organizations ethical analysis and training programs, and an evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses
5. The moral philosophy(ies) and ethical principle(s) in your organization that you affirm most and least. Give specific, detailed examples of circumstances and contexts

Reflective Essay- personal teaching philosophy statements
At the start of week one till the week 8 you are asked to reflect on your learning journey through this unit and develop a reflective personal teaching philosophy statement that embraces your understanding of best practice. What you don't do is just summarise what you've put in your journal- this is not reflective practice. But a new piece of writing, which reflects upon your learning journey and uses relevant references to support your argument. Also reflect- on what is important -not just what you have learned, but how it has changed your values, attitudes and perhaps made you think about your future practice.
By the time you get to week eight, you will be able to actually see what you have learned- you will have a comprehensive record of your reading and your ideas. How have your ideas changed and crystallised over eight weeks? Unless you think and reflect, you will not be able to write the reflective essay.
Reflection is the way of thinking that all good teachers live with everyday. It means- "well, I thought this, and did this- how could I do it better next time?" So- you should ask yourself the same thing about curriculum. This is central to the teaching process- how can I take this requirement and achieve what is mandated, taking into account the students I have at this particular time, the ethos of the school, the leadership team, the parents, my own capabilities and interests. You might find this quite hard to do if you don't know very much about what drives curriculum construction and philosophy.

HERES HOW I STARTED IT, YOU CAN CHANGE IT IF YOU LIKE.
When starting the personal journal i found it hard, but after starting the journals entries for the past 8 weeks I have learned a lot, and I found myself better understanding of the curriculum than I did before starting the unit. I couldn?t even say curriculum or spell it properly. However after researching more on curriculum and doing the weekly reading and participating on online discussion with other students helped me a lot and gave me a better understanding of curriculum. Therefore I was able to achieve the weekly questions and tasks.

Marking criteria please follow it.
Academic Engagement Evidence of self-reflective examination of learning issues-Consistently employs reflective learning strategies
Synthesis Evidence of synthesis of multiple concepts and sources of information-Explanations are thorough, innovative and are supported with research of the theories of learning.
Classroom ConnectionEvidence of connections between theory and practice- Consistently makes valid and insightful connections between personal experience, theories and classroom environments
Academic PresentationEvidence of ability in academic writing -Consistently applies appropriate standards of presentation in referencing and literacy (including spelling, grammar and sentence structure)

Here are my personal journals for each week that I did.

Week 1

Part A
What is curriculum?
What Curriculum means to me is a syllabus which needs to be taught and followed in order to complete a course.Syllabus and curriculum are not the same Curriculum is the learning which is planned by a teacher and taught to students weather it?s carried out for group of students or individually. Curriculum means subjects that are included in a course. Teachers use curriculum to direct their classrooms. Curriculum could also be everything that students or other learners gain within school or home which will help them in their everyday lives. However I believe that at most of schools, curriculum is looked at simply the recognized educational standards that are taught. These standards provide a sign of where the students/ others should be within a clearly defined range of learning. I believe that teachers should plan and focus on every Childs need, therefore focusing on the learning needs of every individual child and designing curriculum to meet the students/ children needs is very important as this will help the students to gain more knowledge. However I think it is the teacher?s duty to help the students to reach their goals and should teach them ways to become better learners and problem solvers so that they choose to take paths to learning of their individual foundation.
Part B
After doing my readings, online tasks and researching about what curriculum means? Curriculum is the most important document early childhood educators need to understand and apply and should be developed with discussion from all stakeholders. These stakeholders are families, government, communities and the students. (Brady & Kennedy, 2010). However why however? you are not adding anything to the previous sentence.as (Brady & Kennedy, 2010, p.5) stated that students curriculum is an interrelated set of plans and experiences that a student undertakes under the guidance of school. The term curriculum refers to everything that happens throughout the day. As Linderberg, L., & Swedlow, R. (1976). Stated that curriculum refers to all the provision professionals make for the whole of the Childs experience in the service. ???meaning?Therefore curriculum includes the educators understanding guiding their decision making and the provision of resources; the organisation of space, time and resources planned and spontaneous; and teaching strategies and interactions. Brady and Kerry (2010) states how the curriculum should be about the future. ?and to understand better role of the curriculum in the 21st century, the purpose should be to ensure that students/ children are well equipped to handle whatever it is that this century will call them to do and be? (Brady & Kerry, 2010, p.5). However teacher?s roles are to prepare and educate children by simply implementing the curriculum guidelines by the school. As (Brady & Kerry, 2010) highlighted that most importantly educators interpret those guidelines and add an educational aspect that forms from day to day curriculum experiences for students.

Week 2 & 3
In this modern and contemporary world, an individual is exceedingly blessed, who have had the fortune of attaining education, and utilizing his acquired knowledge, for the betterment of his living. In order to attain a blissful and a prosperous life, it is highly imperative that a person has been geared up to face and confront the ever increasing competition in the world, having the most advanced and inclusive education.
Beliefs about Early Childhood Education
A child?s mind is extremely na?ve and vulnerable. Researches have proven that not only an immature mind is exceedingly receptive, but also very impressive; therefore, what ever it hears or receives is imbedded very firmly, in both the conscious, as well as the unconscious level. Bearing in mind the previously mentioned notion, a cognitive mind is coerced to believe that education in the early ages of the child plays a pivotal role in constructing his ideals, morals, mentality and innovative approach.
Curriculum
The educational institutes in almost every region do not inculcate the knowledge based on their own choice or fluke. There is a set pattern of academic course, which an institute decides to follow, primarily authorized by a governing body or board. A curriculum, primarily, is an incorporated and structured course based on the theoretical studies, for the children.
Australian Curriculum
Australian curriculum is amongst the most compatible and well devised curriculum for children?s education in the developed countries. Like other curriculums, even the Australian curriculum pays utmost heed to the sound development and the exquisite knowledge attainment by the children. Australian curriculum is devised in a way that it is properly prepared for imparting the basic knowledge, required comprehensions, desirable capabilities and skill, which are essential for Australian children. The curriculum denotes the ownership or right of learning of a student as the corner stone of, future learning, proper cognitive growth, a healthy future lifestyle, and sound membership of Australian community (Hincks, 2010).
Historic Development of Australian Curriculum
Numerous researchers and scholars believe that, shortly after independence, the administration and establishment of Australia had started giving utmost attention to the domain of education, for a well equipped and efficient future generation. At the outset, the Australian education board resorted to the foreign guideline for the formulation of the curriculum for their nation. However, Gradually the Australian administration started to gain a grip on their own comprehensions, and started to devise their own curriculum, timelines and current, as well as future approaches regarding those curriculums (Atweh & Singh, 2011).
Stages
The sound and traditional development of Australian curriculum primarily comprises on four key stages. The first stage, which is the Curriculum Shaping Stage, revolves around the formulation an initial and rather rough or test draft of the proposed curriculum, in which highly expert advices are also sought, of the respective figures, which possess the adequate knowledge and experience.
In the second stage, which is the Curriculum Writing Stage, the proposed Australian curriculum is given the proper shape. Along with the assistance of a selective team of the writers, confirmed and acknowledged by the expert advisory panel and the respect staff of the curriculum. The third stage revolves around the astute and effective implementation of the drafted and approved curriculum. It is rendered to the respective school authorities via online mediums, and the respective authorities along with the teachers, endeavor to implement this at schools effectively. In the fourth and final stage, designated processes are employed which are pivotal for monitoring and sound evaluation of the implemented Australian curriculum (O'Meara, 2005).
Argument For and Against a National Australian Curriculum
On a personal level, as well as according to numerous observers, Australian curriculum is a highly compatible and competent course structure which the students receive, for preparing and gearing them up for the future competitive world. The best thing about the curriculum besides being peculiar about each and every aspect of the current knowledge in every domain (subject) is the astute and comprehensive process of its development. The proper formulation of a new curriculum after every predetermined period, along with teams of experts in every domain, enables the respective management and administration to devise the most comprehensible and compatible curriculum, as par the education level of other developed countries.
However, one minor drawback or shortcoming, which numerous observers have pointed, is regarding the involvement of the instructors or the teachers in the development of the curriculum. The reason why the involvement of the teachers is deemed to be equally essential is because eventually the teachers are responsible for inculcating the proposed knowledge into children, in a predetermined manner. Teachers must be made part of every stage, to keep them aware of what is coming their way to deliver it to the students. Moreover, if the teachers are part of the development of the curriculum, they will be able to acknowledge if they are in a position to deliver the proposed knowledge to the children or not. Furthermore, making teachers a part of development can prove to be fruitful, with respect to the vital suggestion flowing in from their part (Weksler, 2004).
A person depicts what he learns; therefore, it is highly imperative that the education, which the children receive in the educational institutes, is compatible, comprehensible and up to date. For this purpose, the management clearly and astute sorts out that what is to be taught and how effectively can it be implemented.

Week 4

External and internal factors that might affect curriculum development
There is no doubt that the process of curriculum development is not a mood but a process based on a set of justifications may vary from one community to another and from time to time. These justifications are:
* Qualitative and quantitative development of human knowledge (the knowledge explosion) in the present era curriculum development before a big challenge.
* The rule of scientific method in the various areas of life.
* Cohesion between theoretical science and applied research and between theory and practice.
* Development of science as a result of educational research and studies is the perception of the curriculum, the school and the student.
? Lack of current approaches: this factor is linked to factors of social change, where the curriculum, which seems to put in the time it, is appropriate to continue a long period of time.
? Frequent repetition or drop out of school-related factors, and teaching methods is appropriate.
?Needs of the community the future: The studies predictive and study the development of communities and the different phenomena which may have contributed to provide educators understand the large for the needs of the community in the near future and showed those studies that the school curriculum should evolve to fit with those needs and to encourage change the direction of future developments.
Development of education: The continuing changes in the concept of education and its objectives and the roles of teachers and learners and organizations, the school curriculum requires a reconsideration of the tools and educational methods and developing them to achieve the objectives of education and what the school curricula of the most important tools, it is supposed to be a tool change is effective, and a tool achieve the desired educational goals (Lattuca & Stark, 2009).
Contemporary and Traditional Curriculum
The latest documentation from the QCA (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority) gives the following aims for the curriculum ? that it should ?enable all young people to become successful learners who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve; confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives; responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society?. These aims cannot be achieved just within lessons. It is the whole-school experience which will produce successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. This experience includes the atmosphere and environment in school, the way behaviour is managed, relationships between staff and pupils, and opportunities for pupils to make decisions, solve problems and collaborate with each other. Curriculum modern sense is a set of experiences educational readies itself the school for pupils both inside and outside in order to help them grow comprehensive and integrated, ie, growth in all aspects of mental, cultural, religious, social, physical, psychological and artistic growth leads to modify their behaviour and ensure that their interaction successfully with their environment and their community and develop their own solutions to are faced with problems (Kridel, 2010).

Week 5
.
Part A
I have worked in Montessori centre before for two weeks however during that period I realized that it was different from other centres. I Have realized that the Montessori environment provided independence and individual learning for children by making choices and decision to use the materials from variety of resources for their play, which helps the children to further develop their self-esteem and independence skills. As Montessori educators provided time for children to stay focused and engaged in the activity that they were participating in, rather than rushing them into the next activity, as this gave the children time to finish their activity and helped them to be confident.
Part B
Working there for two weeks was not enough to learn about Montessori. But now that I have done my research about it, I have more understanding of it. As research has stated that Montessori is an approach to the education of children. It is a way of looking at, and understanding children. It is a view of how children develop and learn. However the Montessori environment is a place for building a positive, attitude towards learning and developing children?s skills by providing them with variety of activities and enough time to play free and individually. Children learn through play and exploring things around them. As Montessori philosophy stated that the discovery of their environment is important as children learn through discovering, exploring and learning, they must be given the freedom to develop physically, intellectually, and spiritually. The Freedom within Limits atmosphere of a Montessori classroom provides an environment which nurtures a sense of order and self-discipline. Therefore the educator?s role is to provide the materials and environment which will assist children?s development and to be ready to take action when help is needed.

Week 6

PART A
I have studied about Steiner back in college Steiner education also recognized as Waldorf education involves a humanistic approach towards learning. Rudolf Steiner conceived of education as an art that is creative, progressive, social, and individual in nature.
However from what I have learnt back on college is that Steiner educators believe that children should not be rushed into adult awareness but allowed to savour their childhood. To assist the young people to learn to know and love the world in childhood, is to begin to develop good judgement in teenage years, to liberally take responsibility for life?s journey into adulthood; as these are educators and parents duty. Steiner?s image of child highlights the fact that all children are equal and they must be given education based on their capacity to absorb the information. Steiner image of child involves assessing the physical, academic, spiritual, and emotional capabilities of child to develop a curriculum based on their need. Steiner views every child as having great potential to learn and improve his learning abilities.
PART B
Based on the exploration of Steiner model of education text and discussion with colleagues on the topic has opened new insight dimensions that require assessment of implacability. Steiner model of education works for all children based on the principles of equanimity that does not make any differentiation on the basis of ethnicity class, academic ability, and religion. The central image of the child as in need of nurture and protection and an emphasis on the physical, of movement and of doing, are interesting points of reference for comparative studies (Uhrmacher, 1995).
Many theorists have supported the Steiner model of education. For example, Steiner-Waldorf kindergartens are built on the work of Rudolf Steiner and Emil Molt (Robinson, 2008).
The discussion with colleagues on the topic has highlighted few areas that require expansion. Key questions for research in terms of mainstream education centre on what practitioners in other forms of provision can learn from Steiner pedagogy. One factor in relation to the funding of children attending Steiner kindergartens has been the place of technology in the setting. Traditionally, the Steiner early years curriculum has no place for computer technology and this has been an issue in relation to developing curriculum in the foundation stage. Some of the important ideals in Steiner Waldorf Kindergartens, such as attachment, protection and nurture, challenge mainstream thinking and current government policy (Roopnarine & Johnson, 2005). Research could ask the question as to how Steiner Settings successfully recruit and retain male practitioners whereas the mainstream continues to struggle to attract men to the profession.

week 7 journal Reggio Emilia Part A
The Reggio Emilia Model, known for their creative, sophisticated aesthetic curriculum, first opened in 1963 (a development of preschool run by parents after World War II). Discovered by international scholars in the early 1990s, they have generated broad interest among early childhood educators. Described as an adventure and research undertaken by teachers and children, the operational curriculum is based on teachers' careful observation and documentation of what children say and do, highlighting children's artwork (which constituted the ?Hundred Languages? exhibit that traveled across the globe). The Reggio Emilia Approach, a constructivist approach, is related to constructivist theorists such as Piaget and Vygotsky. Piaget and Vygotsky offer theories on ways children think cognitively in a developmental manner. Piaget believes that a child is competent, when a child learns new things it just enhances their skills further. Vygotsky also believes that a child is competent, yet when they are educated it helps them in the process of the zone of proximal development. According to Piaget, children who are in the preoperational thought stage want to learn a lot. They are continuously asking questions and trying to get answers. They move from an elementary thought process to a more sophisticated way of expressing their thoughts and ideas. Reggio Emilia theorist believe that children have many different ways of expressing their knowledge of the world around them.
Part B
The centrality of the micro contexts (teachers' commitments and ownership) combined with shared visions and institutional support is a consistent finding of successful programs. Boo Yeun Lim explored various approaches to aesthetic education in early childhood settings in the United States that were used in Waldorf schools, the Bank Street School for Children, and Reggio Emilia model inspired programs. Each of these programs had a different philosophy, but all were characterized by a child-centered curriculum. Lim found that the teachers teaching the arts, specialists and classroom teachers, shared some common images of aesthetic education, viewing it as a means to help children to see the world with sensitivity and become aware of aesthetic elements in artworks. (Gandini, 2005).Teachers' views were also shaped by the respective philosophies of the individual programs (social beings in the Bank Street School, higher order thinking skills in the Reggio-inspired school, and a focus on spirituality in the Waldorf),. (Gandini, 2005). Reggio Emilia approach focuses on a child?s natural development. Base on philosophy that learning must make sense to the student in order to be effective and meaningful. It?s child-centered and child?s point of view is completely respected. Children have the opportunities to express themselves and they learn through senses play as the learning process. Children are encouraged to interact with other children and allow them to explore the world through material items and relationships. The environments are physical aiming to cultivate creativity across children.(Gandini, 2005).Another Getty Institute research project, initiated in collaboration with the College Board, and conducted by Bresler focused on the integration of music, visual art, dance, and drama into academic subjects in five high schools. The schools, located in South Texas, New Mexico, Washington, Maryland, and Boston, Massachusetts, were chosen for their strong support for the arts integration by principals and teachers and for their diverse student population. Curricular contents, assignments, and evaluation measures encouraged students' higher level thinking and creativity. The arts/aesthetic curricula changed the roles for both teachers and students. For teachers, curriculum design became an act of creation rather than just implementation. (Gandini, 2005). Teachers moved away from reliance on textbooks toward the active identification of overarching themes and broad issues. For students, their emergent ownership of the integrated work was connected with issues of identity, voice, and pride in their ideas and creation. Students' communication of their work to an interested audience of teachers and peers provided an additional aesthetic element and incentive to excel (Bresler, 2004). However educators and the children now take so much pride in their environment and are happy to learn through the interests and play of the children.

Information from Texts:
? Authors Bennis and Goldsmith assert
1 Leaders are always originals, not copies
2 Leaders, like all people are the sum of their experiences
3 It is an ambiguous process that begins and ends with self
4 We are not interested in theories about leaders, but rather in leaders functioning in the real world, not some artificial setting
5 Leaders are made, not born, and made more by themselves than by any external means
6 Leaders continue to grow and develop throughout life

2. Empathy
3. Healing
4. Awareness
5. Persuasion
6. Conceptualization
7. Foresight
8. Stewardship
9. Commitment to the growth of people
10. Building community

*** Personal notes, I believe my own leadership style is between Type Y and Servant Leadership, with transformational leadership and trait theories. That would be my goal.

I do not have a role model to discuss, so use someone well known with moral character and integrity.

Copy of my interview below, what I learned most from the interview is that it is important that the leader be willing to do what he/she expects others to do. To be an active leader, rather than a passive one who sits around giving orders all day.


The only way I can see the professor helping me is to give me leadership opportunities so I can continue to develop my own style.

Informational Interview

For this interview I spoke with Jane Carson, marketing director of a local technology firm.


1. Q: Jane, could you describe the path that you took to get to your current position as
marketing director?

A: Well, I guess it started in college when I decided to major in business. Some of the classes I took were in the computer field and I enjoyed that area. At the time I did not know what I was going to do with it, but right after I graduated I went to work at a computer technology firm in an entry level marketing position.

I enjoyed the job, and was given the freedom to explore different areas in the computer field so I could better present the products to our customers. I did well in that position and after a year or so I was promoted to the regional sales manager.

I had 5 employees under my direction. I was also given the opportunity to learn more about internet technology and took an interest as I.T. was an up and coming field at the time. Over the course of time in this position I was able to network with several people in the I.T. field and we worked together on developing many projects.

One of the people I worked with left that company and started this one. He worked on his own until the business became established. As the business grew, he needed someone to help with marketing, as his forte was more in the hardware development field. He called and offered me this job, and I have been here since.

2. Q: Have you had any role models or mentors along the way?

A: Well, there have been several people that I have aspired to be like, but I have
really never had a mentor or role model. I always positioned myself to take advantage of the position I was in to learn as much as I could about the company, the products, and fellow employees.

3. Q: How would you define leadership?

A: Leadership is an ability to organize and direct others to accomplish a specific
goal.


4. Q: What qualities do effective leaders possess?

A: I think that an effective leader needs to set a good example. Work as hard as she
expects her staff to work, trusts her staff and delegates responsibility as it is
earned, and rewards people for doing a good job. I also think it is important to
seek and appreciate staff opinions, and let people know they can be comfortable
with the working relationship.

5. Q: Are there any quotes or inspirational sayings that you turn to for guidance?

A: Not that I have ever thought about, but I guess if I had to think of one it would be, ?to thine own self be true?. That sounds kind of self-centered, but I don?t mean it
in that way. The most important quality a leader can have is honesty, so it is
essential that I am honest with myself.

6. Q: How do you think people would describe your leadership style?

A: Well, I guess in several terms, ?approachable? as I have an open door policy with
my staff, ?involved? as I maintain a hand?s on approach, not expecting an
employee to something that I would not do myself, ?driven? as I set realistic, yet
achievable goals for my department, and expect them to be achieved, and
?motivating? as I encourage and reward for a job well done.

7. Q: Is there anything else that you can think of that you would like to add?

A: The only thing would be that in order to be effective, you need to like your job.
As a leader, if one doesn?t like their job, it shows and a poor attitude will not only
be reflected in the performance of the employee, but job satisfaction will suffer as
Well.

this is a five page personal autobiopgraphy for a graduate program in clinical psychology. I have already written the details that need to ne addressed in the essay however it is very rough and it needs to be rewritten.

There are faxes for this order.

What do I really know about my personal consulting' activities."

Your task for this SLP is to: (1) do a little personal literature mining (properly cited please) on the particulars and importance of this subject. You are encouraged to look beyond personal behaviors and check out 'organization development' (OD) or general consulting literature to understand organizational techniques (ie, 'scanning') and issues (such as political realities). In particular, you might wish to find one of the several 'step' models which suggest phased consulting activities. (2) note some truly important characteristics and then (3) using this information as a guide, suggest your current most important consulting strengths as well as opportunities you see for improvement...based on both personal knowledge and your assignment literature review. Try to do this in three or four pages or so...no penalty for a longer paper. Note that you may wish to seek the opinions of co-workers in this largely self-diagnosis. They may have some interesting insight for you. Remember, this is NOT a paper where you make generalized comments about what consultants do. It is about YOUR insight and typical activities. Do not discuss personality 'traits' or 'style labels' you may have learned. You MUST discuss actual activities you now use when dealing with others and providing expert IT advice. For example, how well do you listen versus talk or how well do you scan the organizational environment and try to find out about the politics of a given situation before you wade in with your advice or start a project? As noted above, you will wish to research the Web and check out traditional models of consulting behavior and typical behaviors in each 'stage.' For example, what are effective behaviors when one first enters any kind of consulting relationship? Again, stay out of the personality and trait literature, this is about observeble activity. And, you may want to chat with folks whom you have provided advice to to see what they have observed. Be forewarned that generallized papers with no personal information or including a 'personality assessment' will be be downgraded as UNRESPONSIVE to this assignment.

Do NOT provide a technical outline or project details such as; "conduct project/ needs analysis." This is assumed!

SLP Assignment Expectations:

Once again, it is expected that you will produce a paper that first highlights suitable intellectual details of the consulting processes. A strong 'hint' here is to check the organizational development literature and look for a STEP model (most begin with Entry) and, at least in part, relate your consulting behavior to such a framework. A paper that DOES NOT detail your specific consulting activities, instead focusing on intellectual generalities, is unsatisfactory. You may not feel you are a consultant...but, most of us consult with others everyday...and certainly you will be called on as an IT manager to be an internal or external consultant. As such, you MUST come to understand the host of specific activities required...beyond technical acumen. For example, fail to read the political realities of a project situation for which you will be responsible and you may find yourself embarked on an "IT Death March."

Please recall that these SLP papers require that you integrate, discuss, contiguously cite and later fully reference at least three academically sound sources. Please use enough concurrent discussion so that the purpose of each citation is apparent to the reader. Please note that this paper IS INCOMPLETE without at least three ACADEMICALLY SOUND references (relevant magazine articles such as CIO are OK. Also, you may use Wikipedia and military/ corporate references but they DO NOT count as one of the required three).

You will be assessed on the appropriate and completeness of the detail you provide regarding your this topic, your use of cites and references as noted above as well as your intellectual insight into topically important issues. You will also be assessed on your adherence to the Graded Activities Guidelines

I need a Personal Statement for the MPH, i am applying to IU school of Medicine, for my Masters in Public Health,

Background;

MBA Universit of Phoenix.

Bachelor of Business Admin. Makerere University Uganda.,

Reason for doing my MPH is serving the society.

A. Professional Presence

1. Discuss the differences between two models of health and healing as they relate to what it means to be human.
Note: Models may include physical body, body-mind, body-mind-spirit/bio-psycho-social, eastern model, western model.

2. Analyze differences between one of the models discussed in part A1 and your professional presence (include your current beliefs, attitudes, and actions regarding health and healing).

3. Discuss how your professional presence (mindful or distracted) influences your nursing practice.

B. Personality Preferences

1. Submit your results from the Keirsey Temperament personality test. (I will add this part)

2. Analyze your test results, including areas that may or may not align with how you view yourself.

a. Evaluate how the preferences identified by the test align with your relationships, favorite activities, and career choices.

b. Discuss two potential challenges or barriers (e.g., barriers in communication, decision-making) that could be minimized by your enhanced self-awareness when working with opposite personality types.

C. Mindfulness Practice

1. Develop a mindfulness practice plan consistent with your interests, goals, and beliefs by doing the following:

2. Discuss how you intend to apply self-awareness and insights gained from part D1 to promote professional presence in your current healthcare setting.


E. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Order details

This Order is for 2 chapter of the dissertation that includes 1) introduction/problem statement and 2) literature review/theoretical framework. It must follow the APA style on format. I will email an old proposal and research protocol to be used as reference. The 2 chapters will be followed my research method and findings/conclusion chapter later. The first two chapters should be based on the information described in research proposal and protocol and other supporting information can be found from the bibliography or other related sources. The writer needs to rewrite and put more content related to Limited Capacity Theory of Annie Lang, Communication co-orientation theory, and Divergent perceptions regarding self and others. I will send over a table of content that can be used as a reference when lay out the structure of these two chapters. The main goal is to revise the research proposal to a better organized structure and add a bit more muscle to it. The writer can keep using the citations that have been used in the proposal, but other parts needs to be paraphrased since some parts are copy and pasted from other sources.

In general, all content in the first 2 chapters of the proposal can be re-used (paraphrased), then about 20% more content needs to be added for the 3 areas mentioned above, i.e., Limited Capacity Theory of Annie Lang, Communication co-orientation theory, and Divergent perceptions regarding self and others. The writer can use bibliographies to find more related studies/information.

The third chapter of research design in the old proposal has been changed and dont need to be used for the rewriting of chapter 1 and chapter 2. To help the writer understand the new experiment better, here is some information:

Basically, there are 4 different groups/conditions:
1) Single Task (ST): subject and collaborator working together through online chat to discuss and decide final answers on multiple choice survival questions;
2) Multiple Task Same Distraction (MS): subject and collaborator working together through online chat to discuss and decide final answers on multiple choice survival questions. In addition, subject and distracter also work together through online chat to decide answers on worst scenario questions. Both collaborator and distracter did not know that the subject is working simultaneously with other people.
3) Multiple Task Different Distraction (MD): subject and collaborator working together through online chat to discuss and decide final answers on multiple choice survival questions. In addition, subject and distracter also work together through online telephone (Skype) to decide answers on worst scenario questions. Both collaborator and distracter did not know that the subject is working simultaneously with other people.
4)Single subject: subject work on his/her own to finish the multiple choice questions that have been used for subject and collaborator communication in other conditions. This group will be used as a baseline to compare independent working with collaborative working with others. (this is a condition that was not mentioned in the research protocol)

The goal of this study is to compare the performance and perception difference among different groups under 4 above mentioned conditions; compare self perceived performance and partner perceived performance and experience. Since the study design has been change a little, the writer needs to put in new information regarding the single subject condition.

The above information will give writer a better idea of the whole study so that the first 2 chapters will be closely linked together with research questions, hypothesis, relevant theories, and later data analysis and discussion. When the data collection is done in mid May, I will place the order for last chapter on findings and conclusions.

Please email me if you have any questions regarding the study design or related theories. I will provide all the information available to help.

There are faxes for this order.

Discuss the purposes of communication and how the various actors in the criminal justice field ( police, corrections, judges, administrators, and state attorney etc.) use these purposes to carry out their jobs.

Required to prepare an individual piece of work called a Promotional Practice Report (PPR).
The PPR should consist of a review of an organisation?s or brand?s recent marketing communication activities. This means that you should choose a campaign that is no more than 2 years old. Campaigns that were running in January 2011 or later will be acceptable.
The PPR should be no longer than 2,000 words, written in the third person (passive voice), referenced according to the Harvard APA format (5th edition).
Course work submission
The aim of the PPR is to consider why and how an organisation or brand uses particular marketing communication tools and media. The review requires an explanation and interpretation of marketing communications in practice, in the light of marketing communications theory.
The objective of using academic journal articles is to help ensure that students undertake the necessary reading during the unit and so build a suitable level of knowledge which is then displayed in their PPR. Academic journal articles, is essential if you are to pass the coursework and should be used as the basis for understanding the use of promotional tools and media.
The promotional campaign which you choose for your PPR should make use of more than one promotional tool and several media.
Structure of the Promotional Practice Report
1. Title page, to include student number (no name)
2. Contents page
3. Brief introduction to the organisation or brand, and the campaign
4. Brief discussion of campaign objectives
5. Brief discussion of the target audience for the campaign
6. Bulleted list of the promotional tools used in the campaign, with an example of each
7. Bulleted list of the media used in the campaign, with an example of each
8. Discussion of the suitability of the promotional tools and media used in the campaign, making reference to theory
9. Recommendations for possible improvement in marketing communications activity (tools and /or media)
10. Reference list

The most important part of the PPR is item 8 and this should form the majority of the report. Items 3-7 and 9 need only be covered in brief.


Sources of Information for PPR
It is very important that you make good and extensive use of academic journal articles in your PPR. Electronic journals containing academic articles on marketing communications.
In order to keep track of current events in marketing communications and to research materials for your PPR you are advised to read marketing trade journals such as Marketing and Marketing Week as well as those related to specific topics.

To find Marketing Week online go to http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/index.html. For specific articles or for general subject searches, use Nexis UK at: http://www.lexisnexis.com/uk/nexis/auth/bridge.do?rand=0.392121390900245
Brand Republic is the Haymarket publisher?s website which contains back issues of magazines such as Campaign, PR Week, Marketing Direct, Media Week and Marketing. It is available via www.brandrepublic.com.
It is important to note that while there are good sources of information available on the internet, there is also much that is not so good and you need to be discriminating about the sites you use. Wikipedia, for example, has many flaws and while it might be useful in certain circumstances for giving guidance in the early stages of research, it must not be cited in your PPR. Please also avoid using sites such as tutor2you - these are not suitable for academic work.


Referencing - Harvard APA
It is very important that all sources used to write your PPR are referenced correctly and this means including citations in the text of the report and a reference list at the end.

To begin to identify a concept, choose a phenomenon (based on a clinical observation, a clinical case in the literature, a personal experience, etc.) you are interested in Write down all of the words you can think of which are relate to or describe the phenomenon. Identify or brainstorm a term (concept) that can summarize, label or name this phenomenon. For example, you observed that a woman with breast cancer was troubled by her treatment decision. She was very confused with the variety of treatment options and she did not understand the meaning of each treatment option. In this phenomenon, you will find words such as ?lack of information?, ?uncertainty?, ?decision making?, and ?risk taking?, et al to describe this phenomenon. Your group will choose one of these concepts as the focus of your ?concept identification? paper.
Then, look up the concept in a large unabridged dictionary and list the definitions you feel most closely describe the concept of interest. At the same time identify synonyms and related terms of this concept.
Search the literature for journal articles and books (see ?how to search scholarly articles in electronic databases?) related to the concept to get sense of the beliefs and thoughts of others in the discipline regarding the concept. Each student should find at least 2 highly relevant articles that address the key characteristics of the concept. Carefully read the scholarly articles and look for all statements that proved a clue/cue to how the author defines or describes
