They dubbed these projects Vision Impact Projects (VIP’s), and made sure to flood them with enough resource for an effective result, with emphasis on time to prevent digression. Management was also consulted weekly and asked to provide feedback, which was a great way to get direction on identifying the expected impact of each project. The company also made a sound strategic decision when it hired a separate manager to monitor the projects and facilitate their execution. (Kloppenborg, Nkomo, Fottler & McAfee, 2012) The above improvements helped Williamson successfully increase the rate of completion of projects under reasonable financial expectations. However; a yearly review revealed that the current prioritization method still had room for improvement.
When I arrived to work at 8:00 in the morning, I attended handover from the previous shifts work in which they are passing information about what had happened during their shift. We are doing this every end of the shift, so that everyone is updated on what is happening with our residents. Handover is one way to promote effective communication, it really helped us. It is very important in our daily living, it is a necessity as we use it to promote and spread information/ideas. I am practicing effective communication to share my opinion, knowledge, feelings and even my emotions and most especially to build and maintain a good relationship with my colleague, our residents, their relatives, and other healthcare professionals.

At this time, my best friend was quitting her job at an in-home daycare in which my aunt owned and operated. I call this woman my aunt since she and her husband have been really good friends with my father since I could remember. My best friend had found another job so she asked me to take her place as a day-care assistant. I figured if I took her place, it would be a great experience and it would look good on my resume. I have always wanted to have a job where kids were involved.
The woman must have thought I was going to leave her as she grabbed my arm and looked very worried. I reassured her that I was going to stay, however this was very difficult due to the language barrier, she appeared to calm down so I think she understood. I sat with her whilst she was in the bath trying to give her support and reassurance as she was clearly anxious and struggling with the pain. The woman seemed to appreciate my presence and visibly appeared to cope better with the pain she was experiencing. The woman’s husband came back and I explained that it was the end of my shift
Clients, have the capacity to find their own solutions to most problems they are faced with, clients often just need an environment where they are able to express themselves freely. This, to me was different to what I thought I knew and experienced about counseling. I suppose I felt this way due to how counseling is portrayed by the public, media and my friends and family. After reading all the materials for week one, I spoke to a close friend who was going through a very tough personal situation and would often call me distressed. I would usually just agree with her and tell her what I would do if I was in her situation.
I have a weakening of going over and beyond in helping people and I tend to go over and beyond with clients. I am not complete if I do not provide the right help and some clients tend to get attached. At the end if the day I am happy with the service I provided. Knowing more about what I do is a great addition for me not only can I provide more information but I get to give them the proper information that they need to know and I and happy knowing the client is happy. Coming to college is going to give the education I need to make my skill stronger so I can provide a better service than I do now.
Manage own performance in a business environment The purpose of planning work is to ensure that I make the most effective use of my time and knowing what I have got planned throughout the day the lowers my chances of my work clashing with a meeting or other tasks. If I make a written account of my plans and my manager asks what I have done, I am easily able to show them and be accountable for my work. The purpose of agreeing realistic targets for work is to complete my tasks to a good standard, if targets are set too high I may feel under pressure or incapable of completing them. It is always important to agree targets so I know I am able to complete and reach them. I should always keep people informed about progress as they may need to know about changes in targets as it allows them to make amendments to the way they handle their work, if they are not informed it may affect their working abilities.
