Feb 9ths Learning Journal/Professionalism blog

Professionalism Blog: What does professionalism have to do with personal connections. How is personal connections with teachers important to your learning.

I believe that personal connections opens up doors to opportunities and learning experiences we never would have had. When you have personal connections with professionals you may learn from these people about how they conduct themselves within work, and with other individuals as well. In order for us to be business professionals as well we must learn buy observing and connecting with other business professionals. In the sense of personal connections with your teacher, I think its very important. Buy having a personal connection with your teacher you can both understand each other ona different level and respect each other as well. This inturn will make your school work more satisfying, it also can make you feel more obligated to perform your best within class.

Learning Journal Blog: Create a new workshop modeled after the one you read about to appropriately reflect First Nations values withour exploiting FN traditional ceremonies.

If a workshop has a purpose of teaching balance within life, we can refer to the teachings of the medicine wheel the medicine wheel has been symbol of healing, interconnectedness, and holistic foundation of peaceful interaction and personal growth. This can teach businesses our reasoning by the way we come to decisions with the influence of the medicine wheel. Therefore "how to make a decision like a tribe" well be informative rather than exploiting our traditions by selling our culture to businesses.
