Personal Thoughts

Dear Sirs

Attached, please find all necessary documents and evidence pertaining to my request for recognition and accreditation of my previous learning, based on work experience and relative to personal scholarship.

Why an MBA?

Personal and Original Expectations

My career goal is to enter the corporate world of fitness by applying the experiences of seven years of higher education and three years of industry application. With high levels of success as a fitness manager and innovative product ideas, I bring many strong assets and values to future goals.

My strongest character attributes are confidence, ambition, loyalty, and ability. For twelve years, it has been a personal and driving goal to make a difference in the world of human fitness. No rash decision, years of dreaming, planning, and imaging my successes have consumed my personal vision. Expectation Changes

Email me with what changed from the time you began wanting this goal to now; committees are looking for a reality-check here. Take your 'childhood' dreams and morph them into an adults goal set.

Process Development

Here, the committee wants to know how you have developed your goals; what individual steps have you taken to make it happen? It is important here to stress the challenges and self-carving process one undergoes in pursuit of a dream.

Self-Discovery

An important part of successful results is in the path of determining upon what one should focus. Many people work very hard all day doing little jobs that do not affect the quality of their work.

This skill concentrates on clarifying what you enjoy, understanding where ones strengths and weaknesses lie, and working out the twin dynamic of what your job entails and what constitutes excellent performance.

It is important for your own quality of life that you enjoy your job. If you understand - at least in broad strokes - what you like and dislike, you will be more able to move your job toward doing things that you enjoy. This is important; one is much more likely to do the work effectively if able to love it rather than loathe it.

Industry Discoveries

Communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factors contributing to my job success.

Through my various positions since 1993 I've had the opportunity to grow both as a professional and as a person, conveying my thoughts and ideas effectively. Positions such as Administrative Assistant and Front Office Manager for Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean International consequently strengthened my job qualifications and established me as an effective communicator.

My main goal as a Front Office Manager and Customer Representative was to establish credibility. Due to my people-orientation skills I was able to effectively measure - with maturity - those circumstances surrounding my communications, including situational and cultural context. Through hard effort, patience, and serious consideration of the multi-national environment in which I was required to operate and engage, I consequently adopted an individual style of communicating.

My daily tasks included messages conveyed through channels; verbal face-to-face meetings, telephone, written letters, e-mails, memos, and reports were but a few of the communication opportunities encountered.

Clearly recognizing the actions or reactions influenced by my message, I worked to ensure that my communication was always unambiguous and clear. Keeping in mind that people receiving my messages also entered into the communication process with feelings that would undoubtedly influence their understanding of my messages and their response, I'd considered all these factors before delivering my message and acted appropriately. Paying close attention to feedback was crucial, affording me a measure by which I could ensure that people had understood my messages.

During my working experience, I had to face parameters such as body language, recognizing and overcoming cultural and ethnic barriers, communication through companies policies, giving feedback, listening and adopting friendly and gentle questioning techniques, overcoming objections while dealing with customer satisfaction, handling conflicts, and inventing techniques for resolving conflict.
