First, watch this 3 1/2 min TED video on 8 Secrets of Success https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6bbMQXQ180 Since we are people with multiple stories and diversity of experiences, each of us will seek out different learning experiences to help us succeed.

Respond to the following questions, based on your reflections and expectations: - Based on your previous learning and/or work experiences, who would make an ideal clinical supervisor for you (and/or research supervisor for those of you who want to do PhD)? Describe his/her guidance and feedback style that would match your style of learning. (If you use terms such as critical, helpful, challenge me etc, describe what you mean by these terms since they mean different things to different people. Please take the time to give this thought). - Assume you are shopping for a supervisor, what questions would you ask him/her/them, to learn about them, their style and/or their expectations?

Expert Solution

Prompt 1;An ideal clinical supervisor for me would be an individual with essential principles such as accountability, courage, and empathy. These principles are significant in ethics as they guide mental health professions while in their field of work. By possessing these qualities, the clinical supervisor can accept responsibility for their actions and correct an individual when wrong (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 2016). Additionally, an ideal clinical supervisor should possess open communication and be able to effectively communicate, pass relevant information, and be open to exploring new challenges and opportunities when they arise. Ultimately, a clinical supervisor who values and encourages ongoing professional development and reflective practices would be an ideal individual or professional in my journey to becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist.
