My first and only job was interning at the office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) indexing, tagging, and scanning files which is not apart of  my career path so my supervisor and I didn’t connect on a personal level because we had different interest. I agreed with most of the statements about job task and efforts for the approval of my supervisor because I want to excel in everything I do, my first job wasn’t in the industry I want to build in but the job gave me experience and making a good impression is how you get more opportunities.

When it comes to do something that’s out of my comfort  zone I need plenty of motivation because of my insecurities.

The Characteristics of an Effective Coach Assessment is to see whether you have the characteristics, traits, attitudes, or behaviors of an effective coach. While taking the assessment you have to evaluate yourself and action to see if the characteristic describes yourself. Right now I have not fully developed the characteristics of an effective coach. The areas I need to work on is enthusiasm for people, patience towards people, and low hostility towards people.

For improvement I plan to do exercises to control my emotions and just stick it out.

Although the assessments says three or fewer statements means you need significant improvement, it still applies to me because communication is a major weakness for me right now. Public speaking and meeting new people is something I tend to shy away from. Slowly I have been becoming better at public speaking because teachers or mentors believe I am a leader in the making and know how to talk to a crowd. Improvement still needs to be made but I’m working towards it.

Leadership Self-Assessment Quiz 14-2:My Tolerance for Cultural Differences

Chapter fourteen assessment measures your tolerance for working in different environments and on different terms, your overall flexibility. My overall score was  36 which means my tolerance for working with people different from myself is average. While taking the assessment I realized many of the things I am uncomfortable with is because of communication, I feel like I cannot relate. The assessment asked would I be comfortable working with someone who eats what I consider a pet or coaching a team with both men and women. The thing that prevents me from being comfortable with the two situations is how I can handle the situation. If I have dinner with someone who eats cat meat I would be very uncomfortable because I’ve had one and that is not what I think they are here for. As far as coaching a team with both men and women I have a neutral perspective for that because while playing basketball my coach was a male and certain things I didn’t feel comfortable talking to him about and certain situations he did nit know how to handle so I would be kind of hesitant in these two dituations.
