Summary of interviews
Everyone that I interviewed are some of the people who know me best, all each with different personalities and viewpoints but each all came to relatively similar conclusions about what makes me different or unique. Everyone mentioned that I'm an inclusive person that's easy to be a reliable friend to. I would say I agree with this because I always try to be friendly or nice with anybody as possible because there's nothing to gain by treating others harshly. Each however had their own reasons for what makes me different. David mentioned how much of a hard worker I am, Jadon said I'm always open to helping others, Ian said I'm influential, Genesis mentioned how I'm genuine and caring, and Catrina mentioned how I'm educated in not only school but with current events. Personally, I wouldn't say I'm too influential of a person or educated in every topic. I'm always growing as a person and willing to learn and as far as influential, I always try to give people the best advice possible when needed. What I think causes these differences is a matter of the perception others see of me versus myself. I never want to come off as too braggish or borderline narcissistic. I wouldn't make any changes because what my friends said fit well with each of my strengths.
Hi Bernard,
ReplyDeleteGreat job analyzing your human capital and getting to know what people think makes you different and unique. Personally, I like all the traits that you saw in yourself as unique and different. My favorites ones were deliberative and consistency. Some people would think that being safe is dumb I disagree I think is the smatter thing anyone can do and not everyone can say that they have consistency which to me is one of the biggest virtues a person can have in these days not only in the professional level but personal as well. Great job gathering information from the people that know you the best and is great that they see you as just as you see yourself. It means you must be doing something good.
Hi Bernard,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog and listening to your recordings. Based off of your initial traits for yourself, I can tell that you would be a great entrepreneur. Also, I could tell that the people you chose to record think highly of you and enjoyed participating in the assignment. I liked your summary and interpretation of your interviews. I thought that when you mentioned how people have different perceptions of you and that is what lead to different traits made a lot of sense.
Hey Bernard,
ReplyDeleteGreat integrating something relevant from an older class into this one - being able to work on problems deliberately and rationally while also having the respect and cohesion needed to work well with others puts you at an advantage if you assembled or worked with a team for your company. Your interviewees seem to back this up and stress your leadership qualities even more so.
