What's is a professional? Being professional can mean a lot of things, but in particular, it is a person that handles his/her vocation with the attention, attitude, and demeanor it deserves.
In many ways, it means putting the needs of the organization and the people it serves in front of your own.
In part, you exhibit professionalism when you:
- limit personal phone calls and emails at work
- control your emotions
- listen before speaking
- consider details before jumping into decisions
- dress appropriately for your industry and workplace
- continue to grow in your vocational skills through training and experience
It's not just about getting paid for what you do.
Question: Do people in your organization consider YOU a professional?
