Introduction
My name is Cathy Mocibob. I
live in Patterson, New York with my husband John, son Jason, and my Boston
Terrier named Vino.
I work for United Rentals, Inc. as Manager, Learning and HR Systems within the Human Resources department. I have been with the company since 2003. In my position, I oversee web-based training for over 12,000 employees nationwide, as well as in Canada. I am looking forward to learning new ways to improve my we based training offerings through design and development techniques.
I have a BS from ESC in
Business, Management and Economics with a concentration in Human Resource
Management. I have chosen to pursue a Master’s Degree in Learning and Emerging
Technologies with ESC. This is my second semester. This summer, I am also
taking Designing Online Learning Environments.
In my spare time, I enjoy
shopping, wine tasting, yoga, spinning, watching professional sports, and
traveling with my family.
Personal Ethics Statement
Personal ethics are very important to me both personally and
professionally. Throughout my life I have chosen to sustain certain core values
including effective communication, time management, responsibility, integrity, honesty,
and consistency. In addition, I have a
strong work ethic and consider myself to be organized, hardworking, and consistently
strive to maintain a positive attitude and strategic outlook in my work and
personal life. I feel that these core values make me the dedicated wife, mother,
employee, and student that I consistently strive to be. As I learn, grow, and develop my skills, I reflect on my behaviors and decisions towards continuous improvement.
In my workplace, I oversee ethics and compliance web based training. It is my personal belief in the importance of
business ethics that helps me to continuously improve and promote this program
and make it a value for my company and our employees. Through my company's business code of conduct and my own personal code of conduct, I am able to define who I am and what my beliefs are - in an effort to reflect those attributes to others in both my business and personal lives. I chose to lead by example, and act as both a role model and mentor to others.
Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI like that you include reflecting on your behaviors and decisions as part of your ethics statement. That seems to me like the critical piece in any effort that allows for growth and change. Setting standards is a fairly straight forward task, but stopping to reflect on how the complicated, sometimes messy, real-world things we actually do apply to the standards is where the really difficult thinking comes in. It is hard in two ways, I think. First of all it is hard to just translate the real world into abstract terms in order to hold your actions up to the perfect standard and compare. Secondly, it is hard to look backward to do this assessing in an balanced and appropriate way. Many of us, probably depending on our personalities, can easily get caught up in this looking backward and either be tempted to reframe the past to make it more comfortable or to obsess on it and be overly critical of our past. Those are extremes, of course, but I only mean to outline what I think are the pitfalls of reflections that make it hard work!
