In most jobs, you probably can't just walk up and get in someone's face about Christ. You have to be sensitive to the situation and open to the Spirit opening the door. We are not supposed to go out and try and convert the non-Christian soldiers, but if they ask about Christ, chaplains are free to share what he/she believes. This means that evangelism begins with simply getting to know the soldiers in any military unit, loving them, serving them, and letting them know that Christian chaplains, hope and strength comes from
His estranged wife then appears to find him in this state. She proceeds to tell a story of a childhood trip that she took with her family, stating that she and her mother saw a “rainbow at night”. Knowing that rainbows are not seen at night, they realized it was not a rainbow, but the layers of earth shining in a cluster of falling stars. This light was really the light of a city far off in the distance. As she is ending her tale, they hear the sound of the car driving off in the night by their young son, Jesse.
In my personal life my strengths will help me tremendously. Adaptability could help me in future jobs or relationships. Communication and woo will help to have better relations with people who enter my life and to keep them there. I also like to always think positive. Thinking in positive ways not only makes me feel better about situations, but I know it also helps other people dealing with the situation too.
Through being a respectful person and taking an active interest in what the people within my care enjoy/celebrate/prefer then I can make sure that I do not discriminate against their choice of religion, their ethnic background or choices of leisure activities. By constantly keeping myself updated on care plans, guidelines, risk assessments then I will be well informed of any potential stumbling blocks. Attending training sessions will also help by raising my awareness of this too, by gathering information and actively taking part in sessions designed to help me understand and relate to others beliefs and values. It is also my job that when I have the information to help promote it within the care setting too, to make sure other employees are aware of it and the service users too. As each has different preferences and interests and these must be respected by each of them to their ‘housemates’
I grew up in a Christian home, with loving Christian parents, family and friends. Growing up in the church, I had learnt that you are supposed to save yourself for marriage; I knew all the 10 commandments, the bible stories and so on. My parents had never sheltered me to the secular views on the world so I knew how others lived. Growing up with the Christian way of life engraved in my head, of course I thought that is the way others should live their lives as well. I grew up thinking that everyone should live like my family, which completely makes sense because that is exactly how every other child grows up with thinking.
there are several generic principles that underpin building a strong relationship with children, young people and adults: Effective communication - one of the most important aspects of building a relationship is finding a way to communicate effectively. If we think our relationship with the child, young person or adult isn’t as good as it could be we should adapt our style. It might be we need to show more facial expressions, speak more simply or praise more. Remaining positive and acknowledging a child in particular shows we enjoy being with them and in turn makes them more comfortable in your company. Showing respect - showing
Task 3: From looking at the key influences on my personal learning and development, I identified and explained how and why six key influences affect my learning. These key influences were: time, friends, aspirations, employment, lifestyle and motivation. My personal learning and development may help to benefit others, such as service users, peer group, friends and family for a number of reasons, whether it benefits the groups in the present or future. My peer group could benefit from my personal learning process because I would be able to provide feedback from my experiences and any new skills or information I had gained I would be able to give guidance and pass on to my peers. Service Users would be able to benefit from my learning process because any mistakes I made I would be able to learn from them for the future.
“Transformational leaders are able to increase follower self-efficacy, giving the group a ‘can do’ spirit. Followers are more likely to pursue ambitious goals, agree on the strategic goals of the organization, and believe the goals they are pursuing are personally important” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 384). By evaluating and comparing my characteristics with my admired leader, Janet Mock, “People working for charismatic leaders are motivated to exert extra effort and, because they like and respect their leader, express greater satisfaction” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 381). Developing those additional leadership skills and advancing the characteristics I currently possess, will allow me the opportunity to expand my horizon. Conclusion Understanding and evaluating leadership styles and theories can allow an individual to assess his or her capabilities.
Over time I was able to see the positive the effects these sessions had on the children and their families. Conducting these sessions has taught me the importance of incorporating the foster parents. I was able to help the parents implement techniques and strategies that resulted positive behavior changes in the children. I have never been more ready or eager to take the next step in my journey and begin my studies in mental health counseling. I believe this program will lead me to a fulfilling career, which will be rewarding in terms of the help I will provide to others.
