Barriers Of Overcoming Obstacles
Some barriers can be very hard to break some can be pretty easy. Most barriers can be broken but some can't be broken. Webster's New Explorer
student's Dictionary defines the word barrier as "something that keeps apart or makes progress difficult". Some examples of breaking barriers are
getting over your fear of heights or a type of disability like an amputation.

Good morning ladies and gentleman, today I would like to talk about communication barriers and suggestion to overcome these barriers.
Communication is neither transmission of message nor message itself. It is the mutual exchange of understanding, originating with the receiver.
Communication needs to be effectives in business and is essence of management. Effective communication is crucial at every level of an organization.
However, the ability to communicate effectively does not come easily to many people, and it is a skill that requires practice. There should be effective

Through a successful presentation of reports or any problem solving exercise you will convey how valuable your department is to your business.
Effective communication is often the only way to make this positive impression known to others. At the same time you will be promoting your own
achievements without even realising it.
f)Communication and Intimate Relationships
Communicating effectively with our loved ones, family members and spouses can be difficult for a number of reasons. With our spouses, we may
often feel that they are somehow psychically aware of our needs without our having to communicate them. Using the techniques of effective
communication are especially important in intimate relationships, because we are often so comfortable with our loved ones that we sometimes forget
that they cannot actually read our minds.
g)Business and the importance of Effective Communication In business, being able to communicate effectively can mean the difference between
success and failure, profit and loss, and gaining new clients or losing existing ones. People who have poor communication skills often get stuck at a
certain level in their career. Having good communication skills is generally a requirement in any career. Assertiveness and clear speaking skills, such
as knowing what you want to say in a simple, straightforward manner, are vitally important in business. Being able to listen and to tune into nonverbal

Overcoming College Barriers
People often mention how hard college is, but nobody ever indicated the kind of barriers I would have to break through in order to be successful in
college. I have always had commendable grades, but I have also known that I have the potential to do better. I let my barriers be an excuse to not tap
into that potential. I have never concentrated on my barriers and how they affect my studies. Overcoming my barriers is important for me so that I can
continue on my path toward my desired career. Modifying consistent habits is tough when I am used to a certain routine nevertheless, altering these
habits is important so that I do not waste my time. I have three immense barriers that prevent me from college success, which areprocrastinating,
finances, and lack of study skills.
One of my biggest barriers is procrastination. I often procrastinate by creating reasons in my head to avoid doing a task. Even when I procrastinate,
I still manage to complete my assignments however, I am still constrained to get it done in a small amount of time. A website named, "Unstuck"
has nine tips to help to stop procrastinating, one of which is, "Bargain with yourself. If you finish the business plan now, you can go to the movies
later." I have to convince myself to do my work first, then reward myself by watching shows on Netflix. When I do this, I feel relieved that I do not
have to distress over doing my work on a small time limit. Many times previously, I have rushed to get an assignment completed and so the finished
product is not A plus work. The website also states that making up consequences for avoiding a task, and additionally constructing a to–do list with all
the tasks I would avoid, can stop me from procrastinating.
My next barrier, on my path to college success, is finances. My parents pay for my classes, but I feel like a burden considering that they additionally
pay for my brother's education. The stress of thinking about paying for my education vexes me. The Lone Star website has a student service section,
which has a financial aid section that could advise me with this kind of issue. Although financial aid is helpful, there are issues they cannot solve.

There was a need to hold federal agencies accountable for their performance results and to create a culture of urgency. Without providing an instrument
of measure for implementing a strategic plan and achieving policy goals, Congress could not determine the effectiveness of federal agencies.
Furthermore, federal agencies were operating without direction and did not know how to determine if the programs they were administering were a
success and having an impact. As a result, the 1993 GPRA's intent was to change the culture of federal agencies.
With the increasing use of the internet to perform organizational functions to deliver services to the public, the federal government saw the need to
improve customer service in 2002. The enacted E–Government Act of 2002 required federal agencies utilizing information technology to become
citizen focused, establish a chief information officer (CIO), develop and meet security requirement in accordance with the Federal Information Security
Act (FISMA), protect confidential information, and support electronic government initiatives (Bolten, 2003). The legislation required agencies to
develop their IT infrastructures to meet the needs of the public and link information systems agency–wide. Additionally, the conversion and
management of electronic records would improve the communication and accessibility of information for the federal agency, employees, and the public.

Overcoming Communication Barriers between Genders Essay
Roles of men and women
Of the many changes which have taken place in American society since World War II, one of the greatest has been in the roles of men and women.
Members of both genders have lived multiple roles in the past, but these were generally established ones, such as men being the wage earners and
women the caregivers.
Communication followed largely defined cultural and societal norms. Usually, nuances in speech and inbody language could readily be interpreted. As
Archie Bunker nostalgically sang in television's "All in the Family," "... and you knew who you were then; girls were girls and men
were men."

From childhood, many women are taught to smile and be pleasant to others. Smiles of good will, interest, and encouragement by either men or
women, however, can be interpreted as agreement with what is being said. In conversation, it is necessary to be direct and honest as well, especially
when a smile does not signify agreement or approval.
Men often talk at women, not with them. One chaplain assistant NCOIC made a habit of periodically bringing all members of the staff who were
interested into a general conversation at a convenient location in the office. Early in the morning, at random intervals, he introduced a question or
comment on a current event or another objective topic on which anyone would be able to contribute information or an opinion. As the men and women
of the staff shared the conversation, they grew to know and respect each other and their backgrounds. They were more ready to offer their information
and insights on work–related topics, and close teamwork throughout the staff developed.
A senior chaplain encouraged teamwork in his staff through frequent roundtable discussions of assigned projects. This practice also ensured capturing
the information and expertise possessed by staff members other than the one who had the responsibility for the action.

A description of potential barriers to communication with service users in the chosen setting and an assessment of how these can be overcome
One of the barriers to effective communication that I observed was Sensory Impairments. An individual may already have a sight impairment, and
suddenly or gradually lose another sense. It could be related to a specific genetic condition from birth, or as a result of an illness or accident. Due to
their changed circumstances, a person's sight or hearing loss will mean making lifestyle adjustments, such as in how they communicate, find and use
information, or get around. In my school, this barrier was overcome in a number of different ways. Teachers would identify themselves (you shouldn't
assume that the person will recognise you by your voice), they spoke naturally and clearly, they also continued to use body language. This will affect
the tone of your voice and give a lot of extra information to the person who is visually impaired, they didn't avoid using words like "see" or "look" or

hospital based healthcare system located in Colorado and western Kansas. Many of the current healthcare changes are effecting the larger healthcare

Some of these changes include restructuring how reimbursement for Medicaid and Medicare happen, increasing access to care for the community, and

Overcoming Intimacy Barriers In Relationships
How do two stranger that barely know or trust each other become one another's best friend or soul mate? How does a woman who had been abused or
a man who was taken advantage of learn to trust other partner with their bare unprotected self? Overcoming the intimacy barriers in a relationship of
any form is a very important step to the healthy growth of that relationship and the people involved. Intimacy barriers come in many different forms,
they are very solvable and I have personally let my own barriers hold me back from the people I love.
Intimacy is a hard task for some people to accomplish. The meaning of intimacy is "into–me–see". (1) "It's a blending of our heart with another's, so we
can "see into" who they really are, and they can "see into" us." (1) On the flip side of intimacy is an intimacy barrier which is when a person puts road
blocks up so that there is a harder path, or no way at all to connect with their true self. Without the ability to be transparent to other people, there will
be not solid foundation for the relationship to be built on. Intimacy barriers can come in many different forms. Some of these barriers may come out
with stress, anger, addiction, miscommunication and or lack of confidence. Each of these along with the many other forms are all very harmful to a

John 4 : Overcoming Barriers To The Gospel
Overcoming Barriers to the Gospel
There are many wonderful truths that can be learned from an examination of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. Things that if
applied can be very helpful in understanding how to reach every man, woman, and child for Christ. We learn from the text thatJesus went through
Samaria on purpose, not by mere happenstance. The scripture says, "And he must needs go through Samaria." This immediately poses the
question to us, Why? Why did he need to go through Samaria? It's important to note that this would be an uncommon route for many Jews,
especially the Pharisees, when traveling from Judaea to Galilee, although it was the shortest. Many of the Jews would cross the Jordan and travel
through Perea then go back across into Galilee. When they did this it would add two extra days of travel, but allow them to bypass Samaria
altogether. This is similar to when we avoid certain areas while traveling across town because we consider them dangerous or undesirable. Jesus
was on mission and that is what directed his path. His purpose according to Luke 19:10, He came "to seek and to save that which was lost." He needed
to go through Samaria because he was seeking the lost. He was missional, as we are to live always on mission. If the world is going to be reached with
the gospel of Jesus Christ, there are barriers in the hearts of believers and unbelievers alike that must be overcome.

Overcoming Barriers In Ernest Buckler's Penny In The Dust
One will face various barriers in their lifetime. When an individual overcomes a problem, they will always obtain something in reward of their
effort. Some individuals are overwhelmed by the challenges before them. Others are able to get past the issues and obtain a reward. There are
numerous obstacles in one's life that must be overcome in order to obtain something of personal value. In the short story "Penny in the Dust" by
Ernest Buckler, Peter faced the obstacle of being unable to communicate with his father. Over the years Peter spent with his dad, he developed the
perspective that his father was "humorless and severe". This view was acquired because his dad was more accustomed to expressing his emotions
toward his son with actions instead of words. Peter was able to overcome the miscommunication years later at his father's funeral when he found the

Overcoming Communication Barriers In A Medical Team
1.Physical Separation Barriers
A physical barrier can include work environments that are separated by departments, different buildings or floors. If members of the medical team work
in different parts of the clinic, communication errors might be more likely. Communicating by email or the telephone may also be difficult and could
lead to misunderstandings. To overcome these barriers, make sure that the teamcommunication is consistent, which will allow the team to keep up to
date on changes as they occur. If the use of technology is the only means of communicating, use video conferencing or webcams if possible (Kinn's p
348).
2.Language barriers
The language barrier includes healthcare employees who are from different areas of the country. The learning style for communication in these different
areas might include different words for the same thing (Kinn's p 348). Communication within the medical clinic can be improved with the employees
by encouraging an acceptance of cultural differences between employees. There is also the communication challenge for when the patient and
healthcare employee do not speak the same language. As the country becomes more diverse, being able to communicate with the patient has become
more difficult. Bringing in an interpreter or having the patient bring in a family member to interpret may ease the communication (Partida).

To effectively lessen the effects of lifelong racism and discrimination, Hays & Erford (2014) recommends a strength–based approach, with the
counselor focusing on the individual and family capacities. Focusing on the client's positive attributes and favorable cultural norms can encourage one
to become more resilient (Vaterlaus, Skogrand, & Chaney, 2015). Furthermore, applying counseling skills such as unconditional positive regard,
empathy, consistency, focusing on the client, and providing a supportive environment can all help the therapeutic relationship (Hays & Erford, 2014).
Additionally, making the counselor/client relationship equal will also allow the client to feel more comfortable, may dispel the mistrust of counseling
prominent in African American culture (Hays & Erford, 2014). Finally, acknowledging the racial differences with the client could encourage them to
discuss the racism and discrimination they may have experienced (Hays & Erford, 2014).

Keep in mind, rewards should only be presented on a case–by–case basis, for the reason that these cases where the occurrence is obviously the error of

clinical setting to help with the concerns for confidentiality reporting. The correspondents will not be judged if their reports are short and to the points.
These programs will allow the correspondent to add the patient's ID, today's date, and they can add their sentences to the program. Some may spend
extra time explaining relevant issue and adding more information to the file (Kaprielian, V., Г stbye, T., Warburton, S., Sangvai, D., & Michener, L..,

The practice of annual or biannual checkups is firmly rooted in the lifeblood of American medicine, but also has practical application: if one goes

offers insight into the uselessness of most annual checkups in the United States: "Annual checkups account for more than 8 percent of doctor visits and
cost the health care system $8 billion annually–more than the total health care spending of several states. Each visit takes around 23 minutes, which

Overcoming Dance Barrier
Overcoming a barrier in your life is one of the most challenging day to day struggles. It truly tests your physical and mental strength. No matter how
big or small the barrier, we are forced to show commitment, persistence, integrity, determination, and teamwork to show our barriers that we are
stronger than they are. Looking back, my barrier of having two left feet, being a terrible dancer, may now seem petty compared to challenges
other people face, but it has molded me into a motivated dancer who knows what self confidence and work ethic are. Nothing can be accomplished
without hard work. If I didn't incorporate commitment and persistence while I was practicing dance, I would have been able to overcome my
barrier. To do this, I would go to dance class at least twice a week and pay precise attention to what I was taught. After class or in my free time, I
would practice exactly what I was taught in class for a minimum of fifteen minute in front of the mirror. No matter how tired or busy I was, I always
found time in my schedule to dance. Overtime, I realized that the more I practiced the more improvement I saw in myself. Motivated by Jackie

Many of my fellow dancers would say negative things that no aspiring dancer wanted hear such as, "She's the worst dancer in this whole entire

In sport there can be certain reasons as to why people are unable to in sport, cultural, social, historical, economic or educational. These barriers are
referred to as barriers to participation.
Culture barriers are linked to different nationalities, beliefs and religions. There may be rules and views on who should participate in sport. Some
religions do not allow women to participate in sport altogether, others allow participation if they wear clothes that cover the whole body. In the UK is
limited knowledge of sport from certain cultures. Schools often try to accommodate different cultural for example, allowing students to clothes to

Target groups include women, young people, over 50's, disabled people and black or ethnic minority groups. These groups of people are the groups
that generally have been the most barriers to participation. They are focused on increasing opportunities in sport as they are likely to benefit the most.
Women have always had less involvement in sport than men. There may be reasons as to why women have less involvement. They may stop
playing sport to focus on other thing like having children or a family. Women with family may also find it difficult due to a lack of money and
time. These barriers can occur at any level of sports continuum from someone who may just want to exercise to keep fit (participation stage) but
feels they can't as the only classes available to them are mixed sex classes which they are not comfortable with. Other example, of the barriers to
women may be that at the performance or excellence stage lack sponsorship, media coverage and government funding in women's sport. This in turn
means that women are unable to continue sport as a career and are limited to the level they are able to achieve as they can't live by only playing
sports and must get a job. There has been a large improvement in the amount of women involved in sport since scheme and government funded
activities have been put in place to increase numbers of women's only classes, competitive clubs and female teams in traditional male sport such as

Overcoming Barriers : Hmong Culture
Overcoming Barriers: Hmong Culture For many Hmong people, immigrating to the United States of America is a large form of stress as it involves
adapting to new cultures and new environments. In the documentary, the Split Horn, a Hmong shaman and his family immigrates to the United States
to pursue a better life for themselves. The immense change from living in the countryside of Laos to moving to Wisconsin, America affects the family
greatly. As the Hmong shaman tries to preserve his ancient traditions and culture, his children embrace the American one, finding partners and
converting to Christianity, not necessarily following Hmong guidelines. When Paja Thao, the Hmong shaman's children go their separate ways,
abandoning Hmong culture, Paja falls into a state of depression. The understanding of depression in Hmong culture contrasts with the biomedical
model of health drastically, resulting in consequences such as the impotence to receive medical assistance, lack of knowledge and education,
resulting in untreated diseases such as chronic illnesses. In Hmong tradition, depression is thought to have been caused by a "lost soul." Someone's
soul may be lost in multiple ways, such as being frightened or possessed by an evil soul. In Hmong tradition, it is important for healing rituals and
actions to take place that do not fall under generic biomedical practices. Two Hmong shamans began healing ceremonies for Paja to overcome his
depression and lift his spirits. This

Overcoming Interracial Barriers
There is no doubt that Americans are becoming more culturally and racially diverse, but it is also safe to say that we are still experiencing a lot of
racial issues. If one believes all our racial conflicts are over, he or she is part of the problem. Although there are many individuals who will judge others
based of their race and stereotypes put in place by social influences, the reality of the situation is that humans tend to befriend or relate more to
someone that looks and acts like them. The question now is why do people feel more comfortable with like individual, what barriers are created, and
how can these factors enable some individuals to overcome these barriers, while preventing others. There are many reasons why people prefer to ...

The US today is a world of cultural diversity. If someone spends their childhood in a neighborhood surrounded by a multitude of races, the chances of

Overcoming Barriers
Barriers. Obstacles. They are the dreaded things in life. They try to pull me back from doing what I want to do. There are so many things I wish I
could do in my life. I dream of getting straight A's, I want to be confident in myself, and most of all, I wish I didn't get anxiety. There is only one
thing trying to pull me back from accomplishing my goals, and it's me. I am the base of all the barriers and obstacles that I face every day. I have a
bad habit of panicking when times get difficult and it makes my situations even worse than it was before. I also overthink on homework, quizzes, and
tests which is the main reason why I end up freaking out. When unfamiliar things come my way, or I have to talk to people I don't know, I get really bad
anxiety. This is one of the dreaded things I deal with every single day. I hope one day I will be able to overcome these problems and live my life to the
fullest with no regrets. Each day I spend worrying about things that don't matter, is a day that is wasted, and a day I can never get back.
Starting from when I was younger, I would get very stressed out and take it out on other people, when I really didn't intend too. For example, I have a
very difficult time whenever I write an essay, my mom often tries to help me out but, because I am so overwhelmed sometimes I would take my
frustration out on her. I just get frustrated to the point where I want to give up, but I know I can't so I'll just stop what I'm doing and take out my

Graduate School: Overcoming Barriers to Success
The decision to attend graduate school can be one of immense commitment and responsibility. Success requires rigorous planning and well–defined
goals, both short–term and long–term. Exceptional communication skills are also necessary to interact effectively with fellow classmates and faculty.
Although completion of a Master's program opens doors to many professional career opportunities, it does not come without challenges. One also must
have several strategies in place for dealing with these challenges when they arise. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Keeping a personal schedule or calendar can assist in prioritizing important dates, deadlines, and goals (Martinez Tucker, 2002). Asking for assistance
from friends, family, and neighbors can also provide support. Finally, engaging in various stress relieving activities may prevent students from feeling
overwhelmed.
Another obstacle that threatens success is health and emotional issues present prior to attending school. Fogg (2009) reveals that graduate school has a
reputation for triggering and amplifying depression and mental illness, especially in those already afflicted by mental health issues. Depression may
prevent the individual from fully engaging in discussions, completing assignments or even reaching one's full potential. Strategies to overcome these
obstacles include complying with prescribed mental health medications, seeking support from the university's free resource center, and focusing on
self–care activities.
Improving Communication Skills
Within the graduate school setting, strong communication skills are vital when interacting with classmates and faculty. Perfecting communication
skills in the classroom setting prepares students to communicate effectively with fellow colleagues and professionals (Fisher & Zigmond, 1996).
An essential strategy to improve one's communication skills lies in the ability to be an excellent listener. Klein (2009) asserts that effective listening

Creating A Visual World : Overcoming Barriers
Living in a Visual World: Overcoming Barriers to Employment in the Visually Impaired and Blind Community People who are blind or visually
impaired have significantly higher rate of unemployment than those in the general population (Ferronatoa & Ukovic, 2014). According to the National
Federation of the Blind (NFB), in 2013 only 40.2% of adults at working age who reported significant vision loss were employed (Erickson, Lee, &
Schrader, 2015). The visual impairment community faces numerous barriers when seeking employment. In the past employers have believed that hiring
people with disabilities may negatively affect their other workers or they may be unable to complete the tasks of that occupation (Golub, 2006).
Crudent, Sansing, and Butler (2005), have identified several barriers that are most common for people with visual impairments, which include;
negative attitudes towards visual impairments, transportation, lack of job skills, finding access to print, and lack of support in the rehabilitation
organizations. Examining the current research on barriers to employment and how to overcome them demonstrates the benefits the field of
rehabilitation counseling and how to better serve clients within this community. People who are blind or visually impaired have the ability to prevail
over the obstacles put in place by the environment and society. The key areas of focus in this article is employer attitudes, accommodations,
transportation, agency influence, and social support.

As generic as it may sound, the language barrier is easily the biggest challenge and hurdle of my life. Growing up in a family with parents that only
spoke Arabic could be viewed very similarly to a double–edged sword. It forced me to learn Arabic as my first language, thus giving me a method to
communicate with my family. But on that same token, it made the transition from
Arabic, at home, to English, at school, tremendously harder. I came to the united states when i was fourteen years old. I had great difficulties with
English because all I knew was Arabic, but eventually the transition between Arabic and English became easier. I started to be able to comprehend the
English language. Overcoming this wall reaped a great gift as well, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

were embedded in the roots of these three languages. With both my parents being directly from Egypt, they were strongly influenced by the Egyptian

There are many different aspects of the special education system. One area of interest is the best practice teaching strategies in a direct instruction
(DI)/special room as it pertains to students with a disability, in particular, students with disabilities who have the cognitive ability to do grade level
work or higher. Some scholars referred to these students as "twice exceptional". The recent studies of twice–exceptional students are limited, but there

played by the actors involved. The research done for this work is focused on establishing ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The need to reform the special education system is a topic agreed on across the board by scholars, but they do not all agree on the same aspects
needing to be reformed. Baldwin, Baum, Pereles, & Hughes concentrate their research in developing a single accepted definition for twice–exceptional
students. The authors created a timeline of what they consider the development of the history of twice exceptionality. The authors argue critics of
Twice–Exceptional students do not accept the existence of a group of students gifted and disabled because there is not substantial proof (Baldwin,
Baum, Pereles, & Hughes, 2015, p.211). The authors examine different approaches for establishing a unified solution to the gap in the education of
twice–exceptional students. The premise of the author's arguments are based on the acceptances of gifted students and disabled students, but not both
combined. The revision of IDEA in 2004 began to open the door for the acceptance of the twice–exception field. "Significantly, the mention of students
with disabilities who may also have gifts and talents was noted for the first time in the priorities for funding" (Baldwin, Baum, Pereles, & Hughes,
2015, p. 210). The authors use legal, educational and social lens when establishing their arguments. VanTassel
–Baska's focus is much the same as the
previous authors. VanTassel–Baska examines the history of twice–exceptional students. The author suggests, "That gifted education policy is not
coherent across the country, is controlled by state legislatures, and subject to annual scrutiny for continued and new funding" (VanTassel

p. 98). The author stresses the lack of coherence across the United States. The author suggests the issues surrounding twice–exceptional students are left

lacrosse and I was on the crew team (number 8). Therefore I use to be able to run for 12 minutes without walking, I was able to pace myself and my
breathing. I had more control over my body. I'm not satisfied with my current rating because I know what the factors of being unhealthy can lead to.
Diabetes, Cancer and heart disease run in my family, therefore I should be a lot more active then I am. Since I have took the 12 minute run I have
took my fitness in my own hands. I have been mediating morning and night to keep my stress down, find my inner self, as well as increase my
confidence. I have learned that stress can increase body fat as well, and before mediating I use to always stress about every single thing and was
depressed often. Another thing I have done to improve my cardiovascular fitness rating, is yoga, twice a day. The last step I have taken for
improvement is I eat at least two salads a day and I drink mainly water. With eating the two salads a day I make sure to cut out my snacking on things
like candy. I also make sure to get plenty of veggies in my salad and I have changed my salad to a light dressing. The change I feel inside is incredible

Burger King – Are They The True Leader of the Fast Food Industry?
Barriers to success exist for every company regardless of how big or small they are. How a company strategizes for and responds to these barriers will
determine the positioning of the company within the industry and its overall existence.
To indentify potential barriers, a company must first formulate its key strategies for growth. A company can then examine itself internally and
externally to identify barriers that may inhibit the realization of these key goals. For example, a company must be aware of their competition's
strengths and weaknesses as well as their strategic visions. Seemingly, the company and competition have the same target audience so it's... Show more

Prior to going private, Burger King rebuked the industry trend to focus on healthier alternatives and relied on servicing their long–term customers who
preferred larger and generally unhealthy portions. Trying to satisfy their current customers who were actually dwindling in size at the same time the
economic downturn happened, exposed how the lack of planning negatively affected financial performance by posting weaker than expected financial
results during the second half of 2009.
Before Mr. Hees assumed the leadership role at Burger King, the company experienced a decline in same store sales of 4.6% at the end of 2009.
Consumer eating habits changed considerably during this time and it seemed as Burger King had no sustainable plan for future growth. Mr. Hees
brought a new vision to Burger King and a willingness to try new things to meet the changing demands and expectations of the fast food customers.
Burger King experimented with smoothies and salads and even considered a home delivery program. In 2012, while revenue declined by $300 million,
same store sales increased at 3.2% which is a strong indication of customers returning.

Overcoming Barriers To Reduce Diversity In The Workplace
To effectively overcome the barriers against diversity in the workplace, first a general understanding of what diversity is must be developed. Knowing
how diversity affects a workplace environment, advantages and disadvantages of diversity in the workplace, and the legal obstacles that surround both
employers and employees when dealing with diversity and equality are important to understand. Based on the results from the survey completed with
the employees, these topics are a great place to start in the training.
What is Diversity?
The Business Dictionary defines diversity as "Human Resources – a mixed workforce that provides a wide range of abilities, experience, knowledge,
and strengths due to its heterogeneity in age, background, ethnicity, physical abilities, political and religious beliefs, sex, and other attributes."
(Business Dictionary, 2017)
Diversity does not mean race or race relations; the actual meaning of the word diversity is difference. Differences in thinking styles, values, race,
ethnicity, orientation or any aspect of our social identity, are examples.
Diversity in the Workplace
People with demographic differences working in the same organization make a diverse workforce. Perceptions affect people's relations in how they
communicate and interact with one another. Human resource professionals must be effective when dealing with organizational issues relating to
diversity in order for those organizations to be successful. Assessing any needs that arise

Barriers Of Overcoming Obstacles

  • 1. Barriers Of Overcoming Obstacles Some barriers can be very hard to break some can be pretty easy. Most barriers can be broken but some can't be broken. Webster's New Explorer student's Dictionary defines the word barrier as "something that keeps apart or makes progress difficult". Some examples of breaking barriers are getting over your fear of heights or a type of disability like an amputation. I have had some barriers I have had overcome most of them most of them.

Effective communication is often the only way to make this positive impression known to others. At the same time you will be promoting your own achievements without even realising it. f)Communication and Intimate Relationships Communicating effectively with our loved ones, family members and spouses can be difficult for a number of reasons. With our spouses, we may often feel that they are somehow psychically aware of our needs without our having to communicate them. Using the techniques of effective communication are especially important in intimate relationships, because we are often so comfortable with our loved ones that we sometimes forget that they cannot actually read our minds. g)Business and the importance of Effective Communication In business, being able to communicate effectively can mean the difference between success and failure, profit and loss, and gaining new clients or losing existing ones.

  • 4. Overcoming College Barriers People often mention how hard college is, but nobody ever indicated the kind of barriers I would have to break through in order to be successful in college. I have always had commendable grades, but I have also known that I have the potential to do better. I let my barriers be an excuse to not tap into that potential. I have never concentrated on my barriers and how they affect my studies. Overcoming my barriers is important for me so that I can continue on my path toward my desired career. Modifying consistent habits is tough when I am used to a certain routine nevertheless, altering these habits is important so that I do not waste my time. I have three immense barriers that prevent me from college success, which areprocrastinating, finances, and lack of study skills. One of my biggest barriers is procrastination. I often procrastinate by creating reasons in my head to avoid doing a task. Even when I procrastinate, I still manage to complete my assignments however, I am still constrained to get it done in a small amount of time. A website named, "Unstuck" has nine tips to help to stop procrastinating, one of which is, "Bargain with yourself. If you finish the business plan now, you can go to the movies later." I have to convince myself to do my work first, then reward myself by watching shows on Netflix. When I do this, I feel relieved that I do not have to distress over doing my work on a small time limit. Many times previously, I have rushed to get an assignment completed and so the finished product is not A plus work. The website also states that making up consequences for avoiding a task, and additionally constructing a to–do list with all the tasks I would avoid, can stop me from procrastinating. My next barrier, on my path to college success, is finances. My parents pay for my classes, but I feel like a burden considering that they additionally pay for my brother's education. The stress of thinking about paying for my education vexes me. The Lone Star website has a student service section, which has a financial aid section that could advise me with this kind of issue. Although financial aid is helpful, there are issues they cannot solve. Admittedly I would like to avoid this, I could also get a loan to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Overcoming Communication Barriers In The Health Care... With a profession in health care, there are many different type of patients which require care. Some patients can be more difficult to work with than others, and there are many ways discussed in this unit on how to overcome the barriers in order to provide the best service possible. In my opinion, the hardest types of patients to work with are those who come from a different culture and speak a different language. These patients are not difficult due to their attitudes, but due to the physical barrier of language between the health care provider and the patient. If one is working in the health care profession, they will experience patients from multiple cultures and will have to find a method to overcome the communication barrier in order to ...

There was a need to hold federal agencies accountable for their performance results and to create a culture of urgency. Without providing an instrument of measure for implementing a strategic plan and achieving policy goals, Congress could not determine the effectiveness of federal agencies. Furthermore, federal agencies were operating without direction and did not know how to determine if the programs they were administering were a success and having an impact. As a result, the 1993 GPRA's intent was to change the culture of federal agencies. With the increasing use of the internet to perform organizational functions to deliver services to the public, the federal government saw the need to improve customer service in 2002. The enacted E–Government Act of 2002 required federal agencies utilizing information technology to become citizen focused, establish a chief information officer (CIO), develop and meet security requirement in accordance with the Federal Information Security Act (FISMA), protect confidential information, and support electronic government initiatives (Bolten, 2003). The legislation required agencies to develop their IT infrastructures to meet the needs of the public and link information systems agency–wide. Additionally, the conversion and management of electronic records would improve the communication and accessibility of information for the federal agency, employees, and the public.

  • 7. Overcoming Communication Barriers between Genders Essay Roles of men and women Of the many changes which have taken place in American society since World War II, one of the greatest has been in the roles of men and women. Members of both genders have lived multiple roles in the past, but these were generally established ones, such as men being the wage earners and women the caregivers. Communication followed largely defined cultural and societal norms. Usually, nuances in speech and inbody language could readily be interpreted. As Archie Bunker nostalgically sang in television's "All in the Family," "... and you knew who you were then; girls were girls and men were men." Many of the roles have remained the same, but now they frequently are carried out by members ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... From childhood, many women are taught to smile and be pleasant to others. Smiles of good will, interest, and encouragement by either men or women, however, can be interpreted as agreement with what is being said. In conversation, it is necessary to be direct and honest as well, especially when a smile does not signify agreement or approval. Men often talk at women, not with them. One chaplain assistant NCOIC made a habit of periodically bringing all members of the staff who were interested into a general conversation at a convenient location in the office. Early in the morning, at random intervals, he introduced a question or comment on a current event or another objective topic on which anyone would be able to contribute information or an opinion. As the men and women of the staff shared the conversation, they grew to know and respect each other and their backgrounds. They were more ready to offer their information and insights on work–related topics, and close teamwork throughout the staff developed. A senior chaplain encouraged teamwork in his staff through frequent roundtable discussions of assigned projects. This practice also ensured capturing the information and expertise possessed by staff members other than the one who had the responsibility for the action. Different ways of relating to others The sarcastic wit and ironic language often used by a man to show regard or comradeship to

  • 9. Overcoming Barriers To Communication A description of potential barriers to communication with service users in the chosen setting and an assessment of how these can be overcome One of the barriers to effective communication that I observed was Sensory Impairments. An individual may already have a sight impairment, and suddenly or gradually lose another sense. It could be related to a specific genetic condition from birth, or as a result of an illness or accident. Due to their changed circumstances, a person's sight or hearing loss will mean making lifestyle adjustments, such as in how they communicate, find and use information, or get around. In my school, this barrier was overcome in a number of different ways. Teachers would identify themselves (you shouldn't assume that the person will recognise you by your voice), they spoke naturally and clearly, they also continued to use body language. This will affect the tone of your voice and give a lot of extra information to the person who is visually impaired, they didn't avoid using words like "see" or "look" or talking about everyday activities such as watching TV or videos, they named the person when introducing themselves or when directing conversation to them in a group situation, they never channelled conversation through a third person, in a group situation, they introduced the other people present, they never left a conversation with a person without saying so, they used accurate and specific language when giving directions.

  • 10. Overcoming Barriers And Resistance Of The Healthcare System Overcoming Barriers and Resistance to Change The healthcare system is currently undergoing many restructuring changes, due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which are impacting many healthcare organizations such as Centura Health. Centura Health is a large hospital based healthcare system located in Colorado and western Kansas. Many of the current healthcare changes are effecting the larger healthcare systems the most, as they are the ones that are serving large portions of the United States, and they are the ones that can make the biggest changes. Some of these changes include restructuring how reimbursement for Medicaid and Medicare happen, increasing access to care for the community, and increasing the amount of technology throughout the healthcare system. Centura Health has responded to the requirements positively. They have begun to change the culture of their system by increasing access to care at every life stage from birth to death, increased the technologies within their hospitals, and increased the focus on the patients when they are being treated within their facilities. They have dubbed this the 2020 Centura Health strategy, creating a continuum of care with every one of their facilities, including hospitals, home health, physicians' offices, and laboratories.

  • 13. Overcoming Intimacy Barriers In Relationships How do two stranger that barely know or trust each other become one another's best friend or soul mate? How does a woman who had been abused or a man who was taken advantage of learn to trust other partner with their bare unprotected self? Overcoming the intimacy barriers in a relationship of any form is a very important step to the healthy growth of that relationship and the people involved. Intimacy barriers come in many different forms, they are very solvable and I have personally let my own barriers hold me back from the people I love. Intimacy is a hard task for some people to accomplish. The meaning of intimacy is "into–me–see". (1) "It's a blending of our heart with another's, so we can "see into" who they really are, and they can "see into" us." (1) On the flip side of intimacy is an intimacy barrier which is when a person puts road blocks up so that there is a harder path, or no way at all to connect with their true self. Without the ability to be transparent to other people, there will be not solid foundation for the relationship to be built on. Intimacy barriers can come in many different forms. Some of these barriers may come out with stress, anger, addiction, miscommunication and or lack of confidence. Each of these along with the many other forms are all very harmful to a relationship if not dealt with properly. An example of a lack of confidence being and intimacy barrier would be if a couple goes out to the movies and out of nowhere the the boyfriend gets ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 14. John 4 : Overcoming Barriers To The Gospel Overcoming Barriers to the Gospel There are many wonderful truths that can be learned from an examination of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. Things that if applied can be very helpful in understanding how to reach every man, woman, and child for Christ. We learn from the text thatJesus went through Samaria on purpose, not by mere happenstance. The scripture says, "And he must needs go through Samaria." This immediately poses the question to us, Why? Why did he need to go through Samaria? It's important to note that this would be an uncommon route for many Jews, especially the Pharisees, when traveling from Judaea to Galilee, although it was the shortest. Many of the Jews would cross the Jordan and travel through Perea then go back across into Galilee. When they did this it would add two extra days of travel, but allow them to bypass Samaria altogether. This is similar to when we avoid certain areas while traveling across town because we consider them dangerous or undesirable. Jesus was on mission and that is what directed his path. His purpose according to Luke 19:10, He came "to seek and to save that which was lost." He needed to go through Samaria because he was seeking the lost. He was missional, as we are to live always on mission. If the world is going to be reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ, there are barriers in the hearts of believers and unbelievers alike that must be overcome. The Father had been drawing a certain woman to him and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 15. Overcoming Barriers In Ernest Buckler's Penny In The Dust One will face various barriers in their lifetime. When an individual overcomes a problem, they will always obtain something in reward of their effort. Some individuals are overwhelmed by the challenges before them. Others are able to get past the issues and obtain a reward. There are numerous obstacles in one's life that must be overcome in order to obtain something of personal value. In the short story "Penny in the Dust" by Ernest Buckler, Peter faced the obstacle of being unable to communicate with his father. Over the years Peter spent with his dad, he developed the perspective that his father was "humorless and severe". This view was acquired because his dad was more accustomed to expressing his emotions toward his son with actions instead of words. Peter was able to overcome the miscommunication years later at his father's funeral when he found the penny that was gifted to him by his dad in his father's breast pocket. From the experience, Peter learned that his dad had feelings for him. "Penny in the Dust" is not the only short story that has to overcome barriers. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 16. Overcoming Communication Barriers In A Medical Team 1.Physical Separation Barriers A physical barrier can include work environments that are separated by departments, different buildings or floors. If members of the medical team work in different parts of the clinic, communication errors might be more likely. Communicating by email or the telephone may also be difficult and could lead to misunderstandings. To overcome these barriers, make sure that the teamcommunication is consistent, which will allow the team to keep up to date on changes as they occur. If the use of technology is the only means of communicating, use video conferencing or webcams if possible (Kinn's p 348). 2.Language barriers The language barrier includes healthcare employees who are from different areas of the country. The learning style for communication in these different areas might include different words for the same thing (Kinn's p 348). Communication within the medical clinic can be improved with the employees by encouraging an acceptance of cultural differences between employees. There is also the communication challenge for when the patient and healthcare employee do not speak the same language. As the country becomes more diverse, being able to communicate with the patient has become more difficult. Bringing in an interpreter or having the patient bring in a family member to interpret may ease the communication (Partida). 3. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Focusing on the client's positive attributes and favorable cultural norms can encourage one to become more resilient (Vaterlaus, Skogrand, & Chaney, 2015). Furthermore, applying counseling skills such as unconditional positive regard, empathy, consistency, focusing on the client, and providing a supportive environment can all help the therapeutic relationship (Hays & Erford, 2014). Additionally, making the counselor/client relationship equal will also allow the client to feel more comfortable, may dispel the mistrust of counseling prominent in African American culture (Hays & Erford, 2014). Finally, acknowledging the racial differences with the client could encourage them to discuss the racism and discrimination they may have experienced (Hays & Erford, 2014).

The practice of annual or biannual checkups is firmly rooted in the lifeblood of American medicine, but also has practical application: if one goes through the trouble of selecting a primary care doctor, what sense does it make to almost never see said doctor? Nevertheless, author Brian Palmer offers insight into the uselessness of most annual checkups in the United States: "Annual checkups account for more than 8 percent of doctor visits and cost the health care system $8 billion annually–more than the total health care spending of several states. Each visit takes around 23 minutes, which means doctors in the United States spend approximately 17 million hours each year running their stethoscopes over 45 million completely healthy people." (Palmer 2013) Also, when preventive care is offered at annual checkups (which is only about 20% of the time), the potential for overscreening and overtesting exists, and this can cause patients to manufacture illness based on something only minor or because of a false positive (Palmer 2013).

Women have always had less involvement in sport than men. There may be reasons as to why women have less involvement. They may stop playing sport to focus on other thing like having children or a family. Women with family may also find it difficult due to a lack of money and time. These barriers can occur at any level of sports continuum from someone who may just want to exercise to keep fit (participation stage) but feels they can't as the only classes available to them are mixed sex classes which they are not comfortable with.

In the documentary, the Split Horn, a Hmong shaman and his family immigrates to the United States to pursue a better life for themselves. The immense change from living in the countryside of Laos to moving to Wisconsin, America affects the family greatly. As the Hmong shaman tries to preserve his ancient traditions and culture, his children embrace the American one, finding partners and converting to Christianity, not necessarily following Hmong guidelines. When Paja Thao, the Hmong shaman's children go their separate ways, abandoning Hmong culture, Paja falls into a state of depression. The understanding of depression in Hmong culture contrasts with the biomedical model of health drastically, resulting in consequences such as the impotence to receive medical assistance, lack of knowledge and education, resulting in untreated diseases such as chronic illnesses. In Hmong tradition, depression is thought to have been caused by a "lost soul." Someone's soul may be lost in multiple ways, such as being frightened or possessed by an evil soul.

Another obstacle that threatens success is health and emotional issues present prior to attending school. Fogg (2009) reveals that graduate school has a reputation for triggering and amplifying depression and mental illness, especially in those already afflicted by mental health issues. Depression may prevent the individual from fully engaging in discussions, completing assignments or even reaching one's full potential. Strategies to overcome these obstacles include complying with prescribed mental health medications, seeking support from the university's free resource center, and focusing on self–care activities.

The authors created a timeline of what they consider the development of the history of twice exceptionality. The authors argue critics of Twice–Exceptional students do not accept the existence of a group of students gifted and disabled because there is not substantial proof (Baldwin, Baum, Pereles, & Hughes, 2015, p.211). The authors examine different approaches for establishing a unified solution to the gap in the education of twice–exceptional students. The premise of the author's arguments are based on the acceptances of gifted students and disabled students, but not both combined. The revision of IDEA in 2004 began to open the door for the acceptance of the twice–exception field. "Significantly, the mention of students with disabilities who may also have gifts and talents was noted for the first time in the priorities for funding" (Baldwin, Baum, Pereles, & Hughes, 2015, p. 210).
