Getting Started

Image indicates progression of a blog post from the current location of Blog Draft to the Final Blog. Image also indicates progression of article development from article draft to final article.

Now that you have been locating and critiquing articles and applying your knowledge of writing skills to various course assignments, it is time to shift our focus to an industry-specific topic about which you wish to write. Consider what industry knowledge you already possess and how you can share that information in the form of a blog. A blog is a website or webpage that can be used to share personal or professional content with an audience. Below you will find links to some sample industry blogs. Use this information to propel your thinking and determine what industry you will use for your blog. Once you know what your industry is, identify your topic and write for that industry.

The following are blogs written by faculty in the DBA:

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

  • Apply writing skills to the development of a blog.

Background Information

Who cares about writing anymore? In a time-challenged world dominated by short and snappy, by click-bait headlines and Twitter streams and Instagram feeds and gifs and video and Snapchat and YOLO and LOL and #tbt…does the idea of focusing on writing seem pedantic and ordinary? Actually, writing matters more now, not less. Our online words are our emissaries…

Our writing can make us look intelligent or not so bright. It can make us seem fun, or warm, or competent, or trustworthy. But it can also make us seem humdrum or discombobulated or flat-out boring. So, you’ve got to choose your words well—and write with economy and style and honest empathy… Being able to communicate well in writing isn’t just nice; it’s necessary. (Handley, 2014, Inside Cover Jacket, para. 1–3, 4, 5)

This writing exercise further introduces you to the text written by Ann Handley (2014), titled Everybody Writes: Your Go-To Guide to Creating Ridiculously Good Content. As Nancy Duarte says about the book, “Be prepared to be delighted and to write better!” (as cited in Handley, 2014, Foreword).

Words are indeed our emissaries and ambassadors, carrying important messages for us. ‘Words are a proxy . . . a stand-in for the things that we people and we as companies want to convey to the world,’ Beth Dunn says. (as cited in Handley, 2014, p. 3)

So, the question becomes: Are you telling your story from your unique perspective, with a voice and style that’s clearly all you?  For businesses, good writing isn’t merely any tool. It’s the power tool they should be able to wield expertly, just as every respectable building contractor can use the saw he keeps in his truck.

Words matter. Your words (what you say) and style (how you say it) are the most cherished (and yet undervalued) assets. (Handley, 2014, pp. 3–4; italics added for emphasis)

Are you ready to EXPRESS YOURSELF in blogging words? This brief writing exercise provides you with a practical opportunity to advance your wordsmithing and writing style skills. Oh, and did we mention advancing APA 7e formatting skills, too?

Enjoy the exercise. Fully engage. A blog provides a wonderful platform for your writing voice—and the stage is all yours.

Instructions

  1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.  (You will notice this is a “low-points” assignment. That does not reflect the value of the assignment – it is valuable! Writing a draft and submitting it for feedback is a habit you need to form. If the assignment were worth a significant amount of points, however, you would likely focus more on the points than your craft. Research indicates students need a safe space with minimal point risk for practicing writing. This is it. Use it well. Use it wisely.)
  2. Read How to Write a Successful Blog Post(new tab).
  3. Select a topic/theme that is current and relevant to the industry you are considering for your ADP.
  4. Write a complete blog post that is current/relevant to the industry you are considering for your ADP.
  5. Complete the written assignment per the following prompts:
    1. The blog topic selection ideally will support your ADP research focus.
    2. Write the blog in keeping with the general rules identified in How to Write a Successful Blog Post.
    3. The body of the blog should be 600–650 words in length.
    4. Format the blog similar to the examples provided while noting that best practices for blogging are always encouraged.
  6. Use single line space with double-spacing between paragraphs and graphics. Format per APA for all else.
  7. Edit using the spelling and grammar checkers, including Grammarly (which can be accessed via the “Tools For Success” widget on this course’s homepage). 
  8. Submit your assignment as a Word document by the end of the workshop. Along with your submission, add a note to your instructor and ask for specific feedback in at least one area beyond grammar, spelling, or APA formatting. This demonstrates your critical thinking about your own writing.

Analysis/Leadership Skills

The Supervisor’s duties at the Phoenix House consist of managing a staff of four full-time social workers and two social work interns from a local university while overseeing boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 14 with juvenile and behavioral issue’s (Plummer, 2013, p. 82), Also, the supervisor have an ethical responsibility to attend to the needs and concerns of followers (Northouse, 2013, p. 6).

The Senior social worker portrayed effective leadership skills by effectively listening while engaging with the counselor and her subordinate’s concerns. She followed through talking with David’s mother and responded appropriately addressing the situation. She also communicated back with the team effectively about Daniel’s mother’s concerns. With the supervisor implementing conceptual skills in practice can help the connection of the team and assist decide what is the best route with Daniel and his mother Northouse (2020) states, “A leader with conceptual skills can conceive and communicate the ideas that shape an organization from its goals and mission to how to best solve problems” (p. 109).

Identify which aspect of this situation would be most challenging for you if you were the supervisor

I would find it most challenging, finding policies and procedures to back me up before talking with Daniel’s mother to make sure it is handled professionally. Knowing that Daniel’s mother was adamant in the previous call that he stays in the program because the program is beneficial to the child. The program is about positive interactions and positive results. The number one priority would be looking out for the welfare of the child.  This program would not adversely affect the child. The child only had one offense. Reviewing the rules and regulations help familiarize with the agency instructions and makes a supervisor “aware of an ethical, legal, or procedural violation that could give rise to a formal complaint or in some way harm the agency or its clients” must be efficient in using its resources (Sheafor & Horejsi, 2014, p. 537).

Explain how you would use leadership skills to proceed if you were the supervisor.

If I was the supervisor, I would use conceptual skills. These skills will be used to proceed with “(1) problem-solving, (2) strategic planning, and (3) creating vision” (Northouse, 2020, p. 109). Also, articulating a vision and describing it to the team stirs motivation to consider and develop effective strategies for a group or an organization can help with setting challenging goals motivates people to accomplish a mission” (Northouse, 2020, p.111, 168). Also, Having this skill “encourages one to approach situations in ways in which the entire organization works as one to achieve its goals work with others and empower “(p. 169). All my actions would be based on the standard and procedures and would not be based on personal ambiguity. A social agency must be efficient in using its resources, yet provide appropriate and adequate services to meet the needs of its clients (Sheafor, 2014, p. 45).

RE: Discussion – Week 2

Post an analysis of the supervisor’s role in the Phoenix House case study and identify leadership skills that might help the supervisor resolve the issue.

An analysis of the supervisor’s role in the Phoenix House is to make sure the program is running smoothly and that the supervisors and interns are doing their job. Not to be a micro-manager but to make sure they are providing the type of excellence to the clients where they leave with something new each day. When handling the Daniel case, the supervisor should have listened to Sarah and Jim concerns but also had a discussion with Daniel about what is going on and how to correct it. Daniel had a right to be in the program because his mom enrolled him in the program, she felt as though it would benefit him. This was his first time getting in trouble so there should be another consequence for the situation.

Some leadership skills that might help resolve issues in the Phoenix House is empowerment, being warm, encouragement, clarification, and advocating. These skills will go well with helping Daniel with the future of the Phoenix House because the supervisors and the intern need to provide encouragement and empowerment, they do not know what is going on and especially if it is his first time. Daniel needs to have someone advocate for him and not kick him out if he is the one being bullied.

Identify which aspect of this situation would be most challenging for you if you were the supervisor.

The aspect of this situation that would be challenging to me as the supervisor would be allowing myself and my staff to want to kick Daniel out the program. Even after speaking with staff and they have said the program is a positive aspect in his life. Also, finding out that he could be getting bullied. As the supervisor, working with the family and providing positive schooling for the students is benefit.

Finally, explain how you would use leadership skills to proceed if you were the supervisor.

Leadership skills as a supervisor should be used to create a vision, raising expectation and inspiring others to love the job they do (Northouse, 2021). As a supervisor and being that person individuals can learn from and look up to is beneficial. Staff, interns and other supervisors look up to positive influence and leadership.

Mindfulness, Flow, and Meaning Psy 306

/in /by

For this assignment, practice bringing more mindfulness to your experiences for one week. Work on increasing your awareness and resist the temptation to react in any way to the ongoing experiences of the moment. Just observe, “let go,” and observe again. Here are some ways in which you can begin practicing mindfulness:

  1. Throughout the day when you notice you are lost in your thoughts or when you “space out,” bring your attention back to the present moment. You may find a physical object such as a coin in your pocket or rubber band around your wrist to help you remember to be more mindful. Each time you find yourself spacing out, switch the coin to your other pocket or move the rubber band to your other wrist.
    1. Did you find yourself spacing out a lot this week?
    2. Was there a specific time/activity in which you found yourself spacing out more than others?
    3. Did you use a physical object to help remind yourself to be more mindful? If so, what was that experience like? Was it helpful?
  2. For at least two days during the week, practice a mindful meditation. I have included a link that you can click on which will provide you with a 10-minute guided meditation. Try the Daily Calm | 10 Minute Mindful Meditation | Be Present at least once. If you prefer, you can also sit in silent meditation for at least 10 minutes each day. If you choose to practice a silent meditation, it may be helpful to set a timer on your phone.
    1. What was your experience during the mindful meditation? Was it difficult to stay mindful, was it relaxing, or did you find yourself falling asleep?
    2. What was your experience after completing the mindful meditation?
    3. How do you think this practice could be beneficial to your life?
    4. Is this something that you can see yourself sticking with and practicing regularly? Why or why not?
