i NEED good reply to at one of my classmate’s responses.

good develop paragraph. In positive way.

Introduction: Hi friends! If the posting credentials didn’t fully give away my identity, my name’s Adam Ginsburg. I’m in the homestretch of a full time course load as I’ll be taking a few classes over the summer before transitioning over to practicum in that July/August/September time frame. Here’s me, gazing off into the horizon for no particular reason, depending on who you ask.

2.) Career Counseling: In an honest moment, I can really relate to many of the perspectives the students brought forth though Chandra’s resonated particularly deeply within me from a personal standpoint. Having worked immeasurably dissatisfying jobs previously and understanding how hollow they can leave you along with the impact of permeating into other facets of life, a job really is never simply a job as it can be incredibly transcendent day to day.

3.) Work and Worth: Absolutely have. The text touched upon it where it discussed that commonplace question and significant placed upon, “What do you do?” The very fabric of that question places such an emphasis upon our achievement and vocation in a sense that it has the potential to greatly minimize who we are, thus the identity we forge of ourselves is oftentimes linked to the work we do. Societally, as the text discussed, there are certain vocations that are propped up high such as lawyers, doctors, CEO’s, etc. while others are looked down upon such as retail workers so the link between what we do and who we are is often challenging to separate. I’ve seen my parents and grandparents cranking out 60-70 hour work weeks and running themselves into a fine dust because they become so burnt out trying to achieve more and more, striving for so much which can be taken away so easily.

4.) Future Trends: I think we’ve already seen it to a great degree but the movement towards more of a values based assessment has and will continue to become a paramount talking point as many ponder different avenues to travel down. More and more organizations are transitioning and fully embracing the work/life balance model providing increased flexibility and perks to employees, which has cast out the dated notion that work itself operates on an independent plane from everything else in life as it’s merely a component, a vital one, but still a component for many of us. Oftentimes in the deliberation process of pursuing a new opportunity, values emerge a ton now where there’s the overarching concern of how the new opportunity will impact our time, our headspace, our commitment to our families & relationships and so on. Simon Sinek wrote a book titled, “Start With Why” which speaks to the significance of values for employers and employees and the fusion of said values with achieving organizational objectives. The workplace is less about making copious amounts of money hand over fist, though that’s still a significant aspect, but more so that emphasis upon working somewhere that embodies the belief system and values we carry as individuals has become significantly impactful in the process as well.

5.) Future Clientele: Post licensure, I can see myself working in the spiritual counseling realm along with health psychology.

6.) Benefit of Career Counseling: Different facets at play here between spiritual counseling and health psychology but career counseling certainly could play a prevalent role in each. With spiritual counseling, that emphasis upon using career counseling principles and interventions as a means to help people find that passion that lights them up like a pinball machine could be huge along with that emphasis on stepping beyond the oftentimes limiting perspective of our own desires and looking to the needs of others. Essentially, using career counseling methodology as a means to bridge that gap between our passions and stewarding them to invest in building up others could be significant. Couple that with the concept of stepping into things that are greater than ourselves and being of service to others by what we do from a vocational standpoint could also play a role. With health psychology, it’s a bit of a different twist as the overall aim is to understand how the mental plays a role in the physical, so to speak. Perhaps clients are coming in with physical manifestations of psychological challenges from a stressful work environment, a position that seemingly lacks fulfillment, or even the stress and anxiety that accompanies being a parent and being unemployed. Overall, career counseling isn’t much different than any other form of counseling as it’s making an intentional investment in the person sitting across from you and walking with them through the midst of challenges they experience, only these being of a vocational sense.

Psychology Podcast Papers
writing a 2-3-page paper relating the podcast to information covered in the course (lecture and textbook). You do not need to summarize the podcast; rather, you should discuss how the material in the podcast compares to what we learned in class. It is encouraged that you connect the podcast and course material to your own experiences. A sample of a podcast paper assignment is available on D2L. Each paper must be between 2 and 3 pages in length with double-spaced Times New Roman font (size 12) and 1-inch margins. Each paper is worth 2 extra credit points (5 papers maximum) and must be uploaded to the designated D2L drop box prior to due dates. These papers will be due as subjects are covered in class, therefore, please check D2L regularly. Late submissions will not be awarded points.
There are 12 podcast options assigned to various chapters and lectures. You may complete 5 podcast papers for extra credit. Podcast papers are due one week after we cover the chapter to which the podcast relates. Again, late submissions will not be accepted.
Below is a list of possible podcasts, the chapter to which it relates, and due date. Podcasts can be listened to on a computer or smart phone. On iPhones, the podcasts can be downloaded for free on your device in the “Podcast” app. On Android devices, you may use PRX or Stitcher. Some podcasts have transcripts available if listening is not an option for you, and links to transcripts have been pasted below as well. However, if possible, it is recommended that you listen to the podcasts for the full experience.

((Please make sure that you are listening to the podcasts assigned on the podcast and make sure to talk about the podcast in the papers))

Now that you have your strategic plan in place, it’s time to assemble your team to help you to execute your plan.

For your project this week you will need to do the following:

• In a minimum of 2 pages, prepare an essay explaining the types of teams that Rasmussen Consulting will need in order to carry out the steps that you mapped out in your strategic plan.
• What will be the role of the team members?
• Why are these particular teams important for Rasmussen Consulting to properly execute the solution to MovieFlix’s problem?
• Make sure to include an APA formatted title page and reference page for sources that you may have used for your research. Remember to follow APA guidelines when paraphrasing or quoting information. Don’t forget to cite your sources and include in-text citations as necessary.

I am attaching last week’s SWOT analysis to help with this, the problem we are addressing for Movieflix is Marketing and Customer Loyalty – challenge to market to potential customers effectively and retain existing customers. We have been comparing netflix and amazon digital streaming as competitors, how we can keep customers and them not want to switch to them, and also pull in new customers. But now we are forming two types of teams that will help us achieve those goals and avoid the weaknesses and threats.

Students will support their understanding of pay-structure design by creating three complete job descriptions that include pay structures: one for incentive pay, one for traditional pay, and one for person-focused pay. These can be developed for an organization the student is familiar with or a fictitious organization. Each description will be no more than two pages in length, double-spaced, and presented in a business-oriented document. For each, include a job title, a description of the organization, a brief summary of the job, a bullet-point list of essential job tasks, a brief description of the context of the job, a bullet-point list of key knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the position, and pay considerations in the context of pay-structure design.

You may propose an alternative project of your own design that shows attainment of the corresponding course outcome. The mentor must approve the alternative project.Students will support their understanding of pay-structure design by creating three complete job descriptions that include pay structures: one for incentive pay, one for traditional pay, and one for person-focused pay.

Reflecting upon your Module 02 Discussion post, utilize your response to create a chart or diagram representing the change model that you are implementing -make sure to create a comparative demonstrating showing the old model against your new change plan.

Example: If you have chosen to use Fiedler’s Contingency Model as the change model to utilize with your project, your chart will reflect how your will create organization change based upon the model’s situational leadership style and situational favorableness.

Once you have created your change model chart, write a short description of its elements.

Note: The chart will be included in your final project proposal.

I will attach Example of Charts

Below is my discussion post for reference :

The question was:

Gaining an understanding of the various models of leadership theory is critical in order to understand what skills and abilities are needed to influence the desired change in an organization.

For this discussion, reflect upon your chapter and module readings and articulate your personal view as to which model would be most effective in achieving results in your project case study. Since the selection of a model must apply to a given situation, please provide an example of how your selected model will be implemented in your change initiative.

My answer was

Influencing desired changes in an organization requires coming up with concepts. As a leader, the first step should be to try and understand leadership models. After examining the possible approaches to a problem at hand, a leader will be able to analyze how his or her idea will affect the people and if at all it will work out. This is because there are always many factors in a social, economic and political setting. It does not matter the type of policies implemented should be considerate. The FCM approach would be more suitable. It’s more malleable, and adaptable in the type of work environment for Delta.
