1. Becoming a
Better Ashley
A summary of the position
shift that occurred in the life
of Ashley Rose

2. “You are part of the world in which they
are born and come to maturity, but they
have an identity beyond the person to
whom they are confiding because the
poem doesn’t really belong to anyone, it
belongs to a great tradition.”
-Stanley Kunitz

3.  This PowerPoint
Presentation will
provide an overview
of the position shift
that helped create
the person that I am
today.

4. Before: During:
 child  learning
 ignorant  exhausted
 self-living  overwhelmed
 innocent  absorbent (of skills)
 un-knowing  practicing
Life was a like
day at the beach.

5. After:
 accomplished
 matured
 accountable
 responsible
 leader
 role model
 friend
 asset

6. Communicating the Shift:
I became a leader.
 People noticed that my work ethic was
improving.
 I was always there to help when needed.
 I never complained about working.
 I helped the younger/ less experienced
employees around me.
 Because I constantly double checked my
work, I didn’t make many errors.

7. Different Audiences:
 Friends: I became more friendly and outgoing
because of a confidence boost.
 Clients/ Parents: I actually knew what I was
talking about and was able to help with
things that they needed me to do.
 Bosses: I started becoming this excellent
employee that they could count on for
anything.

8. Response to the Shift:
I was promoted to various higher
positions.
 I was trusted to talk to adult clients.
 There was no longer a need for me to be
supervised.
 People had a respect for me that I had
never experienced before.
 The trainers were more lenient with me
about things.

9. Hind Sight is 20/20
 The only thing that I would have changed
about my position shift is that I would have
tried not to get discouraged as
often, because I know now what I didn’t
know then about how this would
contribute to my success.
