Possible Trend Topic: Occupy the World

This is no longer a "Possible Trend Topic", it is my topic for the trend article. After doing research and reading web pages about the "Occupy" movement I feel like this is a worthy topic. Actually while reading through the pages I feel empowered. I am starting to feel the sense of injustice that these people all over the world are feeling. In the United States the protesters are kind of blaming the wealthy 1% of America for the socioeconomical disparities among the other 99%. But that 1-99 dynamic is unique to the United States yet the economic exist all over the world. On October 15, 2011 hundreds of city across the globe called for a #GlobalChange, very similar to the #Occupy protests in the US. All are very interesting.

Possible Trend Topic: There's an App for that!

Utility companies want to serve customers better with mobile applications.

Car accidents happen to all of us at some point but each time it never gets easier. Emotions are high, frustration sets in and “Who is going to pay for this?” is the question we ask first. At that moment it pays to be insured, but insurance claims can be a hassle. For most drivers, accidents are the worst experience mainly because insurance companies require so much information at the time of the accident. Recently there has been a rise in companies like car insurance companies providing there customers with cell phone applications to better serve their customers and make handling situations such as car accidents easier.

Myers-Briggs and DISC Assessments: My Personality and Leadership Style

My Myers-Briggs results showed that I fit four type indicators, ESTP, ESTJ, ESFP and ESFJ. The preference E stands for Extraversion, S stands for Sensing, T is Thinking, F is Feeling, J is Judging and P is Perceiving. When evaluating my results at first I thought the test was wrong, but after talking through it I found that these results prove that I am very adaptable. Out of the four I most identify with ESFJ and ESFP, the difference between the two are when to use practicality and rationality. In compliment to the Myers-Briggs types I am a D for dominance and an I for Influence in the DISC type indicator.  In my leadership class we discussed the compliments to the high types as well as the low types and what responsibilities each have in different settings. As an Influencer I compliment well with the S’s, Steadiness which bring a controlled environment to my ever changing world of thoughts. I think these results will really help me to except my imperfections and make them better also to recognize and bring the leader out of others.
