  • StrengthsFinder Reflection

    Now that you have completed your StrengthsFinder assessment and better understand your Top 5 strengths, let’s dive deeper into your results through a written reflection.

    Please be open and honest we want to know what makes you, you!

    For this assignment…

    Some questions to consider:

    • What were your top-5 strengths (that you submitted earlier in the semester)?
    • Before taking the StrengthsFinder assessment, what would you have said your professional strengths were? Did these align with your StrengthsFinder results?
    • Do you agree with the results? If not, what do you think should be different?
    • How have you seen your strengths play out in the past?
    • Have you ever seen a “negative” side to your strengths?
    • How about the future what type of company, job, location, etc. would match up well with your strengths? Do your goals align with your professional strengths?

    Do not just answer all of these questions like you are filling out a survey – it should all weave together into a well-written reflection. The questions above can serve as a guide, but feel free to incorporate other topics that you feel are important to you and relevant to the prompt!

    Two things should be accomplished in your journal: reflection and insight. We should be able to tell that you truly took some time to think about this topic, and we should learn more about you from reading it. Your grade will depend mostly on your ability to respond to the prompt with quality content; however, conventions of writing (e.g. spelling, punctuation, grammar) will also be factored in.

  • BUSINESS LAW AND THE COUNSELING PRACTICE ESSAY

    Spend some time exploring the scope of business law on the internet so that you can begin to understand how it might affect you when you are preparing to start your own private practice. You might also explore such ideas as to how to incorporate your small business (i.e. private practice) and what records, receipts, etc. that you need to keep for tax purposes. You should be able to find many websites that discuss the business and legal aspects of a private counseling practice. Based on your research, write an essay discussing what you learned that you did not know about regarding the legal and business aspects of a private practice and also discuss specific business and legal aspects that you would use in your own private practice (i.e. How to advertise and what you can and cannot say in an ad, what must you hang on the wall in your office, what type of corporation would you use, what records and receipts to keep for the IRS, will you be using a sliding scale, what is your no show policy, etc.). You might want to consult the ACA code of ethics and the states LPC board rules for guidance as well.

    This essay should be at least 4 double-spaced pages with 1 inch margins in length and cite resources.
