Assessment Introduction
Genogram Reflection Paper

2. What is “Culture”?
Set of guidelines that people inherit from their social
environments
that guide how they view the world, respond to it, and behave
in it.
Not synonymous with race, ethnicity, social class, or
immigration status
Impacts us continuously, whether we are aware of it or not
Fluid and changes as cultures and individuals interact
Transmitted across generations
Privilege exists within cultures
and most career theories do not adequately address it…
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model: Exploration of Identity &
Social Context
Interaction between your own identities, social location and
agency, specific life events and circumstances, and upbringing
Family can provide important context
Don’t exist in isolation - impacted by external things/systems.
E.g., Fish metaphor (you are the fish, what is the fish bowl you
are living in?) - zooming out

Genogram Trends
Small Group Discussion
What did you notice?
What are the trends?
How do you want to follow these patterns or chart a new part?
Multiple Identities
We all have multiple identities that shape us and our daily
experiences.
Some identities may offer us advantages, and others may offer
us disadvantages
Assumptions about us based on these identities will be made,
and these assumptions also impact us.
Having awareness of your identities and how they impact you as

4. a person is important, for yourself as a person and your career.
Identities can be formed by culture but culture can also be
formed by identity.
Model of Multiple Dimensions of Identity
Based on Social Identities
“portion of an individual's self-concept derived from perceived
membership in a relevant social group”
(Jones & MkEwen, 2000)
“portion of an individual's self-concept derived from perceived
membership in a relevant social group”
Model of Multiple Dimensions of Identity (cont.)
(Jones & MkEwen, 2000)
Start with your core
Which is most salient to you?
(gets an atom near the core)
What is least salient?
(gets a point farther away from the core)
What, if any, salient identities do not appear on this chart?
What do you notice about the identities that are closer to your
core?
Reactions?
How might our identities impact our career choices and

5. interests?
How might others’ assumptions and beliefs about us based on
our identities impact our career and interests?
Your Social Context
We all have unique identities which, as we’ve discussed, impact
our lives and our career choices, but what about your
upbringing and social context growing up?
Some of our identities may give us hints, but it is also important
to think about:
opportunities you’ve had
limitations or barriers you encountered
the holistic picture of how your upbringing may have impacted
your career goals
Think about your upbringing and the context in which you were
raised…
What strengths or opportunities did that upbringing give you?
What constraints or limitations did your upbringing give you?
(We all have them!)
Could be expectations from others, limited access to
opportunities…
How did these factors impact you?

6. Self Care: Nutrition, Hydration & Sleep
Week 2
Before any other types of self-care...
Have to start with the basics!
Sleep
Nutrition
Hydration
What happens when
you go without sleep?
What is your Chronotype?
A chronotype is the behavioral manifestation of underlying
circadian rhythms of myriad physical processes. A person's
chronotype is the propensity for the individual to sleep at a
particular time during a 24-hour period.

7. Importance of Nutrition
Like an expensive car, your brain functions best when it gets
only premium fuel: high-quality foods that contain lots of
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
Multiple studies have found a correlation between a diet high in
refined sugars and impaired brain function — and even a
worsening of symptoms of mood disorders, such as depression.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep and
appetite, mediate moods, and inhibit pain. 95% of your
serotonin is produced in your gastrointestinal tract
Studies have compared “traditional” diets, like the
Mediterranean diet and the traditional Japanese diet, to a typi cal
“Western” diet and have shown that the risk of depression is
25% to 35% lower in those who eat a traditional diet.
Start paying attention to how eating different foods makes you
feel — not just in the moment, but the next day.

Hydration, Stress and Burnout
Even mild dehydration can affect your mood!
Mild dehydration causes headaches, fatigue, and difficulty
concentrating
Mild dehydration causes some difficulty with mental tasks,
particularly in the areas of vigilance and working memory
There are several factors that help determine how much water
you should drink on a daily basis.
Age (elderly people need less water)
activity level (challenging workouts and sauna therapy require

8. more water)
diet (high protein, sodium, or fiber-rich diets require more
water)
climate (hot, dry climate, or an elevated terrain require more
water)
certain medications are some factors that might affect how
much water an individual needs,"

Tiny Habits
So how do I improve these?
BJ Fogg: a stanford professor leads the field on habits. His
formula for creating a new habit, like drinking more water, is to
attach a tiny habit onto an existing habit. Find an anchor, like
every time you make your bed, you fill up your water bottle,
then enjoy the feeling of accomplishment. Eventually the tiny
habits build up to big ones!
If you want more info:

What habits do you want to add?
-Getting more sleep
-Drinking more water
-Eating more veggies

9. Take a few minutes...
Write down 3-5 words that best describe yourself - we will be
referring back to this next week!
