Staff/Team Development

A good team starts with having good leaders. These good leaders choose to surround themselves with good people, and if the people aren’t as good as they should be they aren’t kicked out or shunned – they are helped by their team to be made better. A good team’s goal is to play to the absolute best of their ability, with one thing in mind – success. As they gain more success they don’t quit. They realize the fact that there is always room for improvement; they are always striving to be better.

To be better, a team must work together. They must practice and give 110% every time. It should be commonly known with the team the goal that they are reaching towards, and it must be known that everyone is significant to reaching this goal.

A team is successful by communication. The leaders on the team must be aware of the people around them and of their needs. To be successful everyone on the team must work together. The team must keep in mind that this goal is not about them, this goal is for the team.

To turn an unsuccessful team into a successful one the first focus should be on the leaders. They must keep in mind that they are not the leaders to be liked; they are the leaders to influence the team to do the absolute best for success. The leaders of the team must step up and show the rest of the team members what needs to be done to reach their goal. The leaders then must teach them how to be successful. Once the team is working at the adequate level needed for success the leader must remain the encourager and supporter of the team.

Self Discipline

Obviously in my life I am nowhere close to being perfect. Some areas that I need improvement on are:

1) Confidence.
2) Getting things done. (Procrastination!)
3) Being “me”-focused.
4) Priorities.
5) Time management.

I often find myself going for something, or doing something, and then backing down or away from my goal. This is because I lose confidence in myself; I feel that I’m not good enough, or there are others that are better than me. I can fix this by keeping in my mind that I am wonderful and can do anything that I set my mind to do. I am horrible at procrastinating! A way I can improve this is by pushing my “deadline” up. If I did this then I should have plenty of time to actually get things finished! A way I can lose my focus for myself is by doing at least one thing for someone else every day. When it comes to priorities, I think a way I can improve is by making lists to remind myself of what needs the most attention when. For time management I need to keep in mind that there are only 24 hours in a day, seven days in a week, etc. I am one person that can only do so much, and I need to manage my time around the things that MUST get done!

My dad has a HUGE amount of discipline! He keeps track of everything in my family. He pays our bills on time, gets his job done, makes sure my family has what we needs, and still has time to spend time with us! He is the greatest.

The main thing I am accountable for right now is school. It is my job to make good grades, and keep focused to maintain scholarships and get done with school in time.

I am accountable to my teachers, family, and everyone that has influenced my life. People have invested their time and energy in me, and it is the least I can do for them by succeeding in school!

My mission.

I am at my best when I am focused and determined, and when it involves something I am passionate about..
I will try to prevent times when I let my attitude get the best of me..
I will enjoy my work by finding employment where I can help people..
I will find enjoyment in my personal life through helping people, singing, being outside and laughing often..
I will find opportunities to use my natural talents and gifts such as music, listening, writing, being a loyal friend..
I can do anything I set my mind to. I will find a cure to cancer..
My life's journey is on an extravagant adventure through the crazy forests of America. Located in the most exotic forest is the cure for cancer. Along the way of my journey I encounter many people who are on many different paths in their lives. I bring joy and laughter to all the people I meet. A significant amount of the people I come across are extremely sad because someone close to them is battling, or battled, cancer. This only motivates more along my journey becasue I did not like seeing those hurting people. The journey ends with me almost reaching the treasure of the cure for cancer..
I will be a person who my loving family, friends, and all the people who have supported me throughout my life will surround. I would like them to say "T.K. Worley is a caring and loyal daughter, mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend. She always goes above and beyond to help others. She put 110% into whatever she does. She lives her life for the Lord, and everyone who encounters her can see His light shining through." .
My most important future contribution to others will be I go above and beyond to be successful. I give my everything to the things and poeple I care about. .


I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. The thoughts I've had and the choices that I have made have brought me to the place I am in life. I believe that God has control and has a greater plan for my life.


I will strive to incorporate the following attributes into my life:

Spirituality
Love for life
Unconditional love

I will constantly renew myself by focusing on the four dimensions of my life:

Live a healthy lifestyle - work out and eat right.
Cling to Jesus, and always know that He is the way.
Remember to do something I love everyday.
Never get too busy with THINGS that I forget about the PEOPLE in my life.
