Professionalism

When I think of professionalism I think of someone who upholds to a high standard in their career or job. This includes their speech to how they dress. Their conduct with others to how they conduct themselves in their work. Showing respect to others and always keeping themselves away from situations that could cause them to lose their status or positive reputation.
I think that professionalism also is seen in the quality of the individual's work performance. Are they someone who others look to for advice or knowledge? A professional is an expert in their field and portrays those qualities. They adhere to ethics in the workplace and has a positive attitude while doing so.
