Megan Cook Week 1 8/13/2023 Career Development Plan - Section 1 Current Role- Assistant Director for an early education facility. What do I like about my current or target role? The main thing I enjoy about my current role is the many opportunities I get to help families and children in need. I am in a position where I get to be more connected with the customers that we serve and have more input on the services that we provide. What makes me feel unique in this organization?  I feel unique in my organization because of the unique position I am in. I am the middleman between the boss and the employees. Being the middleman allows me to provide support for both my boss and the employees. I am also able to see where things are lacking in the organizational structure and provide suggestions to close the gap. Which of my abilities, interests, and/or values does/will my current or target role allow me to express on a regular basis? I feel like I am one lucky girl, because of the way that my job serves my interest, values, and abilities on an everyday basis. I LOVE working with children and being able to provide the exceeded standard of care serves my interests and values. My ability to connect with people and communicate effectively is also expressed on a regular basis. What are the challenges of my current or target role?  The main challenge of my current role is the team balance of communication and working cohesively. Being a teacher is a hard job and can take a toll on your mental health. These constant teacher burnouts can create a hostile working environment, which I have seen firsthand. Which of my abilities, interests, and/or values would I like to be able to express in my work? I really enjoy that my job values also align with my own personal values. We strive to help people with genuine intent and that is my personal philosophy. What occupational fields do I feel most drawn toward? 
I feel most drawn the occupational fields that are centered around people and human resources. What work environments do I enjoy the most?  I enjoy the type of work environments where everyone’s’ strengths are celebrated, and our weaknesses are made up for the cohesive teamwork that is created. What kinds of people do I most enjoy working with?  Why do I feel this way? I enjoy working with upbeat and postive people. Working can be a drag and it helps when you have supportive coworkers who have the same goal in mind. Do I feel attracted to a leadership (supervisory or managerial) role?  Why?  I am a hands-on worker who likes to collaborative with the group as we complete our tasks, so I would prefer a supervisory role. Vision Statement “I am strongly motivated by impacting the lives of those who are in need of guidance by giving them access to resources and learning opportunities. I strive to provide genuine intent when working with others and always allow room for continuous development.”
