Mission Statements

Danielle's personal mission statement is to foster growth of others and myself through synthesis, building a positive, authentic tomorrow. Image created in Canva.

My Agribusiness Management class covered mission statements, along with other foundational statements like vision, values, corporate social responsibility, and diversity statements, for businesses earlier in the semester. About the same time, I read Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The section on Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind includes a discussion of personal mission statements. After reading about personal mission statements, I revised the one I wrote about five years ago to be the one in the opening photo of this blog post.

I value learning and self-improvement which are both elements of growth. In my teaching role, I facilitate the growth of others. I believe one of my strengths is to bring together material from multiple sources, like from the course textbook and Covey (1989). I hope that growth leads to a more pleasant tomorrow, brought about in part by the ability for everyone to express their true selves.

What's your personal mission statement?
