Introduction
Over the past several weeks, we have reflected quite a bit on
vision, understanding people, leadership, and the power of
knowledge and action.Understanding people requires that you
be able to understand what they want in return for their work,
how they work best, what hampers them, their styles, what
attitudes and perceptions they bring to work, how they interact
with a team, and the nature of their hopes, dreams, and desires
(Vanino, n.d.). What makes a great leader is not only

3. understanding people but deeply understanding themselves too.
When we get to know ourselves deep down, both our blind spots
and our strengths, we increase our ability to relate to others,
which gives us insight into our shared humanity (Racioppi,
2021). No vision and no action are aimless and is exhaustion of
energy and time.
What I Learned This Week
This week's reflection has helped me learn and better
understand the importance of self-awareness, the importance of
taking intentional acts to apply the knowledge we carry to
continue growing, and the growth that can be attained through
forging your own path through independence, commitment, and
good acts. This week further helped me understand the grand
contributions we make to those around us and how we can
benefit everything and everyone we touch by giving the best of
ourselves. It speaks profoundly to me how these quotes build
upon last week's connection with understanding people, having
an actionable vision, and remaining committed to learning and
growing. This week reassures that investing everything you
have in the things you touch is empowering and fruitful for
everyone involved. Understanding that leaders rarely know
everything and asking the right questions makes them
influential, powerful, and prosperous. Seeking continuous
growth, knowing there is always more out there, and valuing
everything a learning mindset must promise is vital to evolve
and improving continually.
Amending My Behaviors/Work and Personal Relationship Ideas
This week's reading has helped me learn how to change my
behavior (and the reasoning behind it) to be a more self-aware,
stronger, and better person, a better mother, a better wife, and a
better professional and leader. The quotes in this week's
reflection enlightened me to the value of lifelong learning, the
importance of understanding people in general, and giving the
very best of myself and my abilities to everyone and everything
touch. Before this course, I managed to be the person my family
and society needed me to be (in my opinion). After the last few

4. week's reflections, and this week's, I have a stronger desire to
continue evolving, learning, and expanding in hopes of better
serving those close to me and those around me, those who are
personal, and those who I encounter in each circumstance. By
amending my behaviors, I can remain focused on growth, a life
of learning, and an understanding that each of these things will
benefit everyone.
How I will Advance Globalization and Promote Social Justice
Some additional skills learned from this course are essential in
driving change in today’s world. The world has become a global
village making it easy for people to connect and interact using
modern technology. Using the internet, we can launch a social
media campaign to create awareness of our world’s public
issues. We can also access and deliver personal growth and
leadership seminars, mindset activities and strengthen our
overall knowledge and power. Also, through the internet, we
can offer support and encouragement to people in various
countries. Specifically, concerning learning, knowledge, and
understanding people, I can participate in learning courses and
share my knowledge or insight there and with those around me.
I can discuss my experiences with growth and learning with
others to empower them to commit to a life of learning and
strengthen themselves and those around them.
