INTRODUCTION
In this assessment, you will demonstrate competence in developing professional presence, promoting mindfulness in healthcare, establishing a social presence, and building a culture of workplace joy in your professional practice. These concepts are at the forefront of the healthcare movement and are recognized as essential to all disciplines of care, including nursing.
First, you will complete a mind map and a force field analysis to develop strategies designed to promote joy in the workplace. Then, you will review the social and emotional intelligence power skills—self-awareness, self-management, interpersonal communication, executive function, and social awareness. You will discuss how these power skills can be used to handle difficult workplace situations and implement joy in the workplace. You should reflect on how you can apply each power skill to address conflict and incivility in creating a culture of joy in work.
Finally, you will use your review and self-reflection of the social and emotional intelligence power skills to write a thoughtful reflection paper. The body of this paper should include what you learned from your reflection, mind map, and force field analysis.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
