...in the Harvard Management Communication Letter. Main reason for this selection is communication is everything in this day in age, no matter what profession or career path you've chosen. Do a quick search on google and see whether communication is optional. Interview a top executive in a Fortune 500 company, and you will 9 times out of 10 end up with the same results, and that is, communication should never be optional. A few challenges and issues that may develop over the course of years may include: personal issues, lack of feedback, handling of unwanted criticism, dealing with a crisis, using excessive jargon, and dealing with rejection. I scrolled through several articles published in the Houston Chronicle, small business section and noticed these same areas mentioned above occur in every business or organization with communication barriers. According to one of those aritcles from the Houston Chronicle, written by George Root III, effective communication in a workplace is ba sed on professional correspondence designed to assist in the daily operation of the company or the continued growth of the organization (Root, George N., III). When employees allow personal issues to affect company communication, a communication problem develops that could take a long time to track down and resolve (Root, George N., III). People who refuse to communicate based on a personal disagreement are damaging the company's ability to do business and slowing the growth of the organization (Root...

...career and professional development due to not having my degree. The next areas of professional growth for me in my field involve becoming an Executive Director or an Association Youth Sports Director, but both of these positions require me to possess a degree. Not having my degree completely removed these career options from my reach and left me trapped in a dead position without much room for future upward growth or mobility. I felt that finding time to continue my education and secure my degree was not an option. Continuing my education was very important for my personal growth and development. Experiencing the rewards of learning both as a student and as certified CPR and Lifeguard instructor of several years I feel strongly about the role that learning plays in an individual’s development. Learning new things helps to keep individuals connected and engaged in the world around us and adds understanding and value to our lives. Learning impacts every part of who we are as human beings and increases the potential for who we can become by challenging and expanding what we know or thought we knew about the world around us.
