...occurs when a client or counsellor set aside time in order to explore difficulties or change in a safe and confidential place. Counselling can help the client to see things more positively and clearly, this can enable the client to specifically focus on feelings, experiences or behaviour, with a goal to have an appropriate positive response. It is advised that counsellors arrive 15 minutes to prior to counselling session to ensure the room is prepared and this time could also be used for the counsellor to get in the right frame of mind. Allowing clients to see preparatory behaviour can negatively interfere with how competent they perceive their counsellors. Prepared meaning the room is at a comfortable temperature not to hot or too cold. The room should be clean, showing no sign of previous clients such as clean coffee table. The seating should be 45 degree angle, as this is the best way to observe body language without creating a confrontational effect, also making sure that there are no obstructions e.g. table, removing furniture will make the counselling session seem less formal. The closeness of the counsellor will indicate attentiveness and willingness. It’s also essential that tissue and water is available. It has been reported that sunlight has a positive effects on stress and feelings of anxiety, so soft and...

...project, the project will serve parents and carers whom are caring for a loved one struggling with substance misuse issues or addiction. Evening Support Sessions (The ESS Group) will give carers an opportunity to engage in structured group support sessions. CAPS have identified through research a gap in provision for those carers who perhaps can’t access support because of other responsibilities such as needing to work, within the typical service delivery hours of between 9am & 5pm. This project will serve any parent or carer living in the City area including surrounding areas. This will be a pilot short term project with the hope of development in the future depending on the outcomes and its success.

Denial of Service are attacks where the objective is to bring down the server and to render services unavailable to others. This can be done by ping attacks and SYN flood attacks. To prevent these DOS attacks you want to make sure you are running an IPS on your network or your hosting provider has one. An IPS can detect when a SYN flood is happening and block the connections from the malicious machine. It can also detect when more than usual requests are being made for your network and reroute the traffic. If a DOS attack is already taking place, it is best to contact the ISP to have communications directed towards your server blocked. 2. Malware is software used to gain access to computer systems. It can be used to gather sensitive information and disrupt computer operations. Malware is easy to obtain and allowing it onto the server can cause a great deal to publicly available services. To help prevent Malware from...

...we were preparing for our quarterly meeting, somewhere along the line in our group a misunderstanding occurred within the group. The operations market team who are responsible for putting the quarterly meeting consist of six staff. Five of the staff in the group has been with the company over six years. The last member on the team was a recent transfer from another department, though has also been with the company for about six years as well. Therefore, the majority of the team had taken part in previous market meetings except for the new member. We received an email directed to the team from the Partner in charge of the meeting with bullet points of what each person was expected to do prior to the meeting. The meeting was scheduled one month from the time of the initial email. We knew we had a deadline to meet and what was expected had been outlined in the email. We all proceeded to work on our respective parts, as each part was involved with the other therefore keeping constant communication was key to meeting the deadline. The team noticed that the new team member was not being responsive to emails and it was extremely important we know of her progress since all parts were integral of each other and without her input we were lost. Her non-responsiveness caused stress among the team because we did not know if her portion was completed, and this was imperative for the rest of us to complete our part. The deadline was close approaching and having to follow up consistently...

...find each step of the training session to include the preparation. The purpose of this memo is to explain each step along the way. Preparation The initial planning of the meeting will take some extra preparation. The next couple of days will entail gathering information that is necessary on the training staff that will be needed for the two days of training. The Human Resources department will be responsible for providing the list. Along with the preparation we also need to look at the facilities that will be available for the company to use. The list should be reviewed within a timely manner to narrow down the possibilities and setting one location for the accommodations and training room. There are some venues that has helped the company out before so it would be best to reach out to them again and see if they possibly would have any openings. The IT department will be responsible for creating a list of all necessary hardware which will be needed for the training session, during this period. Training Staff Once the list of trainers that will be available for the training session is complete and obtained the best thing to do would be to categorize the trainers by experience. Anyone requiring recommendations should speak to the managers and trainers for assistance. Both trainers and managers have been notified and will be standing by in the event that anyone may need them. The trainers will be appointed to the individual session according to their experience. ...

...University of Phoenix Material Scholarship, Practice, and Leadership in Motion: Part One Learning Team Project Students are grouped into teams of three to five according to established criteria. Then, teams engage in a project that integrates collaborative and reflective practice in the following steps: • Identify a problem or need that exists in your emerging doctoral community. The identified problem or need should be intrinsic and unique to your specific cohort. Your team must provide empirical evidence of the problem or need. • Design an intervention to address the problem or need. The intervention’s design should include a systematic means of qualitatively assessing the intervention’s effect and a means of implementing changes to the intervention to ensure its long-term effectiveness in the community. In other words, build into the design explicit opportunities for praxis-oriented feedback loops and adjustments throughout the implementation process. • As a team, critically reflect on the team dynamics and processes that emerged during your teamwork. For example, what kinds of power exist in the team, and where does power reside? How does the team privilege or silence voices? Whose voices are privileged or silenced? What kinds of authority does the team use, and where does that authority reside? What tensions exist between explicit and implicit dynamics and processes? • As a team, articulate ideas for responding to and addressing issues of previously...

The practice of accounting goes back thousands of years and affects individuals, not-for profit organizations, large for-profit corporations, government entities, nonprofessional and professional sports teams, and many other entities. Understanding how to create and use accounting information is therefore critical to your future success as a strategic thinker and leader in any organization. Our focus is for-profit businesses. What is the objective of the course? The objective of the course is to help those of you who know little about accounting, but who are willful and active participants in their education, gain a basic understanding of accounting, its role in society, and how accounting information can be used to make informed decisions. Please note that many of you will find the material we will cover challenging. Thus, being a “willful and active participant” may require a lot of out-of-class prep time. But a caveat. The core financial accounting course is a one-quarter overview of financial accounting. Because of the tremendous depth and breadth of financial accounting, it is not reasonable to expect you to master the...

...design for CapraTek is Sexual Harassment: You make the call. Upon interviewing various supervisors for their different plants I found that overall they are all uncomfortable with their knowledge on laws that affect their associates. Considering that the new plant is being opened in a state where there is a mandatory sexual harassment training law. Strategic Needs Due to the mandatory regulation of this training it is cost effective to use this training as an opportunity to grow our leadership. By having a in person session with our supervising team we can instill leadership behaviors that will help them in other areas of leadership. This seminar will give them the tools needed to solve other law/policy related problems. If we have to spend money let us make sure that we are getting a better return on investment from it. Needs Analysis Currently our company’s objective is to open the plant in Illinois and train our supervising staff accordingly. One major obstacle to this is the mandatory regulation of sexual harassment training by the state. Our supervisor must know what is legally required of them and what we expect from them. Our expectation is that they are able to fully understand what is sexual harassment, what are the signs of it, who to prevent it and most importantly how to handle cases of it. Based of my evaluation of the interviews I conducted, all supervisors know what sexual harassment is but are not comfortable training their teams. Based on this I would...

...Briefly outline and describe the essential elements of a solution-based, short-term pastoral counseling strategy such as its goal-orientation; brief (i.e., number of sessions) and time-limited (i.e., length of each session) nature; basic tenets and guiding assumptions (briefly explain each tenet and assumption), essential interpersonal skills, and possible behavioral positions (i.e., attending, blaming, willing). The goal-orientation for the short-term pastoral counseling should be to get the counselee to focus on their own goals that they have for themselves, and not so much what others or the counselor has for them. The class presentation, Overview of a Solution-Based, Short-Term Strategy, presents that you should limit the counseling to four sessions of either 50, 60, or 90 minutes. These limits fit well within the examples that Kollar gives throughout chapters 8 through 11. Phase 1 – Getting the Present Story The main purpose of this phase is to intently listen to the counselee and gain a solid understanding of where they are coming from. The goal is for the counselor is to actively listen to the counselee. “Active listening mirrors or paraphrases back to the speaker what he has just said, thus confirming for the speaker that he has been heard.” (Kollar, 2011, p. 92) The chief aim to this counseling session is to develop an overall solid picture of the present state of where the counselee is coming from. The counselor’s role in this phase is as a listener and confidant...
