The outdoor seating area of the Flame Tree Barbecue restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom presented a scenic backdrop, a naturalistic reflecting pond, and colorful gazebos with wildlife designs depicting the circle of life for a lunch interview with Debbie Mickler. Having twenty-six years with the company, Mickler takes her leadership role as a Disney’s Horticulture Services/Planned Work Specialist with utmost dedication. “Where did I first get started?” asks Mickler, while sampling different barbeque sauces for her pulled pork sandwich. “I began with foliage and interior plants. We were based out of the Nursery [located behind Animal Kingdom] and covered all interior plants on WDW property, plus special event staging.” Mickler fondly remembers …show more content…

These interns spend the summer job shadowing the various gardeners on property and get a taste to see what it’s like to work for an entertainment company. “The students have a final presentation towards the end of their program,” explains Mickler. “One year, I had an issue with getting students in preparing their projects. They simply thought it was a waste of time. That was a challenge for me as I hadn’t had a group in years fail to prepare on time and I was bringing in other horticulture mangers from off and across property to view these projects. So I met with each person to figure out why they felt the way they did about the project. By meeting with the students I was able to see what they were viewing and I was able to help them out.” Mickler is confident that her leadership style can be described as coaching. “I don’t brush people off,” she says. “I like to check in from time to time, see what’s going on with a person and get to learn more about them. It may seem like a waste of time for some people, however I find that getting to know folks makes that person feel more important. By learning about their ambitions, I can help point them in the right direction or set down and talk to a fellow cast member and have discussions about their careers or future goals with

My twenty-two week long internship with Simply Flowers has been a balance of both learning and self-exploration. The internship has certainly been strengthening my goals while also providing me with dynamic life lessons. Beyond the beautiful floral materials, bows, and showiness that a retail floral shop encompasses is another world of hustle, bustle, sweat and tears.

Working in a physical labor job may seem like an easy way to make money during the summer for students but in the article "Some Lessons From the Assembly Line" written by Andrew Braaksma and published in 2005 he discusses many reasons why his time working as a temp worker in a factory was "anything but a vacation" (Braaksma 2005). The plush lifestyle of a student with lax, customized schedules, haphazard homework attempts, and a rich social environment is a walk in the park compared to what those that work these jobs endure year-round. In two months, Mr. Braaksma learned hard lessons about what hard work entails and the fragile nature of factory jobs. They can be gone in the blink of an eye. An experience like this is vital in giving real-world

As society evolves the concept of leadership is changing and becoming less of the person who is most qualified and more of the person who has the popular vote and the most followers. As we see in the novel Lord of the Flies there are two different types of people. You have Piggy, who has every qualification to be a leader such as wit, knowledge, and clear thinking but lacks confidence. On the other side of the spectrum there is Ralph who is voted by all of the children to be the leader because he has one thing that appeals to many that a leader must possess; the ability to publically speak and good looks. A leader needs to be both.

Throughout my time at Suffolk Community College, I have done a lot of observations and many hours of student teaching between the ages 4-7 years old. So, walking into an infant classroom for an observation was a first-time thing for me. The infant room was full of a lot of wooden furniture (example: cabinets, changing table, cribs, shelves etc.) and the walls are painted an eggshell white. The instant I walked into the entrance of the room near the door, right hand side there was a kitchen, with a sink, baby formula, utensils, baby bottles and sippy cups.

Some of the most effective methods for training the kitchen staff include role-playing, classroom learning, games, internships, educational DVDs and textbooks. Role-playing most definitely works. When I was participating in a restaurant management class during my junior year in high school, we were tasked with setting up a mock restaurant business and to take turns assuming different roles. More times than not, I assumed the role of manager, and boy was it stressful having everyone report to me for every little thing. Still, the knowledge I learned in the course was invaluable.

How Setting Affects Society’s Influence on the Individual In E.M. Forster’s A Room With a View, society’s influence on Lucy is emphasized throughout the novel through the usage of setting. This is most apparent to the reader in the contrast between the events that take place in Italy compared to those that happen in England, when concerning Lucy’s feelings towards George and Cecil.

Their stark differences are displayed through nature imagery, depictions of Italian and English culture, and foreshadowing to the relationships that they will have with Lucy later. George kisses Lucy without talking first or asking, showing his spontaneous nature and wilder approach to life, while Cecil makes a long and awkward show of proposing the idea.

The observation of baseline data assisted me in concluding what stimuli were responsible for my behavior. The first being a result from carrying out various tasks that causes an extensive amount of mental strain or frustration. Meaning that certain types of tasks such as, quizzes, exams, or working on projects caused me to subconsciously pick and irritate my face. I have concluded that this behavior is used as a method of concentration or relief in a stressful or irritating situation. This theory could be further applied to participating in the university cheer program.
