60 ascp skin deep march/april 2019 Education Education is a big part of your career and personal fulfillment. It's up to each individual to gain as much knowledge as possible on their own by taking workshops at various industry trade shows, enrolling in advanced modality training, and seeking out manufacturers who offer sound educational support. We are living in the information age, and education is yours for the taking. Participate in online webinars and subscribe to as many industry magazines and newsletters as possible. Seek out industry education through major international certification authorities such as CIDESCO. Look into educational opportunities at local universities and colleges to help develop proper skills in communication, business, accounting, and marketing. Also look into courses on health science, physical therapy, and introductory courses in chemistry, biology, and anatomy. Research different classes offered by the health sciences and kinesiology/ body mechanics departments. Likewise, learning about nutrition, first aid, and psychology can assist you in helping your clients look and feel their best. Leadership Strong leadership focuses teams by helping each member understand the shared vision and goals of the group and working toward them. Leadership communicates information in a constructive and concise manner. It's about assuming responsibility and doing your best. Teams, however, need to support their leaders in order to grow and achieve their goals. Successful team leadership allows for individuals to use their own strengths and creativity. Courage Successful teams require courage on the part of each individual. Courage enables each of us to share our ideas and to take responsibility for their success or failure. This means that, as individuals, we understand that when we fail, we have the support of the entire team to help us rectify the error.
