What is professionalism to me and what does it mean?
Professionalism is being an expert and specializing in knowledge of ones professionally of their practice. Its about being highly motivated and doing what is asked of someone and fallowing through with whatever is asked. Also showing up early or being on time, in the right uniform or looking like your ready for whatever you would be doing. Looking up to the army values. I think be professional is being in the right place at the right time and doing what is right physically and morally. being professional in the army means everything by the first impression to the way you work and how motivated you are on the tasks at hand, and knowing what you are doing when it comes to certain circumstances Professionalism also means being emotionally intelligent, some professionals need to know whats going on around them and knowing how to be actively listeners, such as therapists. They have to listen to their clients and helping the clients with whatever problems they may have being what ever it is that the clients are dealing with. The Therapist has to give the clients feedback on what they are dealing with and how to help them get over what ever the Client is dealing with. when honoring your commitments is one of the things about being professional. when you promise your boss or someone you are going to do something, fallowing through with what ever the promise is BIG!!! if you feel like you won't be able to keep your word then let your boss you won't be able to make the deadline on your project or letting your family that you can't make it to your family reunion because of work then the first thing that should go through your head is letting them know as soon as possible. Having the right tools for the job is also being Professional. Making sure you show up to work with the right necessities needed. Making sure you're not leaving important documents at home, or even making sure
