Ideal Self
Abstract
I am flying back from Dallas Texas, relaxed, comfortable sitting in Economy Plus, after participating in my first IT (Information Technology) Summit, held yearly by our divisions Vice President. As I look around and observer others, I notice students, vacationers, and business travelers. I’m curious as to who they are in their organizations; managers, directors, janitors, or CEO’s? As I watch their behavior’s I begin to reflect on the session, my career, my future, and how I can contribute. As I think about the start of my career, the choices I’ve made along the way and how these choices have contributed to my successes, I realize I do have a plan, a vision and agenda.
Vision, values, and aspirations are limitless ideas when being developed however boundaries allow the mind to focus and narrow the definition, approach, and delivery. I’m finding this assignment especially difficult because I’ve led my life with limitless possibilities disregarding boundaries meant to keep one from achieving. For the first time I’m required to succinctly define my vision and values, document what they are, and create a development plan that ensures success. Throughout this paper, I will explore observations for how I’ve cultivated and refined these goals and objectives, recalling memories and those defining moments, when my vision became clear. I will discuss my plan for achieving my ideal self thru my career and life aspirations in coordination with my intellectual agenda, inclusive of the many challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. I have always known I am destined for greatness.
My Vision, Values, and Aspirations – the creation of Jayne
Within our lifetime we will learn and experience many things but none as great as the knowledge and wisdom our parents pass on to us as we grow. This knowledge and wisdom takes the form of values that become our playbook for handling situations, seeking out opportunities, and grounding us when unclear of the direction.
