Strengths and Opportunities

For one to successful professionally, there are some principles and practices one needs to adapt to ensure tasks and goals are successfully achieved. Ability to organize and delegate, flexibility and wits, and the capability to balance logic with creativity are the main strengths I have at the moment. In my profession, fine organizational skills are necessary as logical demands of effective project management. I have learned the difference between obsessively tidy and meticulously systematic which spills off to become good team management. Flexibility and wits make up the strength of being able to react to drastic challenges that I may face in my professionalism. A high level of flexibility requires me to be an eccentric thinker and develop a courageous approach to challenges (Richardson & Earnhardt, 2015). The capability to balance logic with creativity is also another strength that helps me in complicated situations in my professional practice. I am required to see the bigger picture and comprehend its individual elements.

Through the class and internship experience, I expect to improve my communication mastery because it is also important in all areas of my profession. Soft skills are important and necessary because they help in negotiations and areas where there is a need for persuasion. I also have an opportunity to improve my leadership, competence, and experience. The class and internship experience will improve my competence and experience levels which will improve my leadership skills. Good leadership skills are important in all aspects of life including professional practice (Richardson & Earnhardt, 2015). Through the lessons, I will have an opportunity of learning ways of differentiating profession and passion. With that differentiation, the class and internship experience will offer me lessons on adopting a leadership that inspires. Other than just experience, an inspiring leadership is important because it influences team members into working towards set goals. These strengths and opportunities are in line with my goal of being a successful project manager in my profession.
