9. Our Goal Toward Being Professional • Professionalism can be assessed by patient satisfaction (Hickson et al. 2007). By Building Public Trust • In medicine professionalism has been described as “Something other than self-interest while providing their services.” It is based on their desire to serve others (Pellegrino, 2002, p. 387) .

10. Self-Regulating & Ethical • Professionalism became a watchword for the concept of a standardized, normative ethic within a field, coupled with a degree of self-regulation necessary to enforce those norms. • Over the years, fields like medicine and law distilled the concept down to its essence: self-regulation plus an aspiration to being ethical.(Pellegrino, 2002, p. 387).

15. Enforce Personal Integrity Enforce personal integrity: honor you commitments In sports, football, baseball, basketball, golf: it’s not where you start, it’s where you follow through that makes it work. Great Starters… ..Lousy Finishers. Not consistent follow through

16. Make a Commitment: Begin it! “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” ~ Goethe

17. Keep Your Integrity • Three step process • If you make a commitment, • HONOR IT • If you make a promise, • KEEP IT • When you set a goal, • ACHIEVE IT • “The promises we break the most are the promises we have made to ourselves. When we break these promises we don’t think others will know, but we know and that has its effect on us internally. We need to decide with clarity what we really want. With complete certainty about what you want” (Gary Ryan Blaire).

18. Purposeful Action It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others

20. Expectations • Be decisive and decide what you expect • Assess your performance. Look at it and be sure you do it quickly. • You should evaluate your performance weekly.

21. Rewards • Delay Gratification • Make yourself earn the things • that you enjoy • Don’t reward yourself until you have earned it • (SELF-DISCIPLINE) • In order to achieve any of your goals you have to be in control, enforce commitment, honor your values and then you will enjoy that reward more • “WHAT WE RECEIVE TOO CHEAPLY WE ESTEEM TOO LIGHTLY” Thomas Paine

30. It Shows In Your Face You don’t have to tell how you live each day;You don’t have to say if you work or play,A tried true barometer serves in the place,However you live, it shows in your face.The false, the deceit that you wear in your heart;Will not stay inside where it got it’s start,For sinew and blood is a thin veil of lace,However you live, it shows in your face.If you have battled and won in the game of life;If you feel you’ve conquered the sorrow and strife,If you’ve played the game square and you stand on first base,You don’t have to tell it, it shows in your face.If your life’s been unselfish; if for others you live,And not what you get but what you can give,And you live close to Peace, and infinite Grace,You don’t have to tell, it shows in your face.

31. Goals: Commit, Begin, Believe
