My Secret Sauce

Good Afternoon Folks,

This week we have a lot to go through! I am going to discuss five ways that I think my human capital is unique then I am going to interview five of my closest friends and ask them the same questions. Finally, we are going to compare answers and see any differences. With that, lets get started!

5 Things That Make Me Unique

1. I have a high emotional intelligence. Many people seem to like me and I am excellent at utilizing empathy.

2. I am very competitive, and will turn anything into a competition. I also love arguing, and think constructive arguments help us better ourself.

3. I am not afraid to be myself around others and people are drawn to it. I embrace being goofy and weird because it is who I am. I often utilize this as charisma to get people on a project.

4. I know how to market and sell myself, something many people don't know how to do. As a personal trainer, I am constantly marketing and selling myself.

5. I believe I am excellent at strategizing and finding value in things or people. Whether it is fantasy football, stocks, or buying groceries, I am really good at getting the best bang for my buck. I also find myself very good at games that require a lot of strategy.

1. Ben is one of my really good friends, and currently one of my roommates. He mentioned my interpersonal skills, my creativity, and my work ethic as my top three aspects of my human capital.

Andrea is my girlfriend and also my best friend, she knows me better than pretty much anyone. She mentioned my charisma and my positive attitude as the two top things that I can bring to the table.

Chris is my other roommate and another one of my closest friends. Chris mentioned my creativity, work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to work with others as my strong suites.

Brandon is one of my close friends whom I met through work. Brandon mentioned my innovativeness, personality, and work ethic as my top human capital skills.

Christa is another one of my close friends whom I have met through work. She talked about my accountability, emotional intelligence, and honesty as my strongest traits.

Reflection:

I see myself as an outgoing, creative, hardworking, competitive, strategic person. My friends tend to see my interpersonal skills, my innovativeness, and my hard work, but they do not mention my competitiveness and strategic mind. I think they did not mention my competitive side because they did not think of it and I think they did not talk about how I love strategy because I kind of keep it to myself. My friends were all right, but there were some things I think they all missed. If I were to go back to my list, I would add creativity to my list instead of selling myself.
