16A- What's Your Secret Sauce?

1) I'm an open minded person who is able to understand and operate in many different situations
2) I am able to work well with a variety of people
3) I am results oriented and often am able to improve on my mistakes
4) I am an organized and reliable person
5) I am consistent

Ryan felt that I could improve on my assertiveness/how vocal I am but agreed with some of the characteristics in my list.

Trent thinks that I communicate well with others and am good at winning over people's opinions. Trent thinks I can become one with my emotions.

Brent thinks that I am an organized person (which was on my list) but that I need to adjust my time schedule to fit others better. This makes sense because I tend to be most productive at night while others are usually sleeping.

Alex also believes that I am an organized and open minded person. He thinks that I need to be more assertive, which I can agree with. I am more likely to succeed if I can assert myself.

Lucas is a good friend of mine who believes I create a strong connection with those who I surround myself with. He thinks I am open minded as well. I could improve on asserting myself though.

Reflection:
The people who I interviewed are very close friends of mine. They know me well and they agreed with the traits I listed about myself. The most common trait they also saw was my organizational skills and my ability to develop a reliable relationship with others. I thought it was interesting that they also believed that I needed to be more assertive, because I believe this is true as well. I also agree with Brent that I need to adjust my schedule to where I am more productive during the day instead of at night. These insights will benefit me greatly. I still agree with my previous list.

  1. Riley,
    It seems like you were right about your own predictions, but that your interviews led you to supplemental/additional information you hadn't previously considered. If there's anything I took away from reading/listening to your post, it's that you have a good foundation in organization and people skills, but sometimes, you just let people walk over you. Sometimes it can be good to take a more submissive role and let others make decisions, but now you know that when it counts, you have to speak up for yourself. This is valuable advice from people who clearly care about you alot.
