Self

Self

This portion of the portfolio deals with the doctoral theme, Self. The individual is a significant facet of professional and personal growth and the focus on this theme indicates a commitment to the positive effect that self-growth can have on an individual as well as the organization in which the professional works.

Additionally, there is a brief description of each link indicating what one will see when that link is clicked. Links are provided at the bottom of the page to provide for easier navigation throughout this portfolio.
