3. I think that the way that I see myself and the way that others see me are for the most part similar. There are differences in the way that people interpret my confidence. Many have mistaken it for arrogance. I believe that my interviewees are correct about me and they were all along the lines of what I listed for part one and because of this, I would not make any corrections to my original list.
Great job with this assignment, Walter! What I most admire about your list of traits is your ability to get along with most people and to be able to hold a conversation about anything. That is such a hard thing to be good at and such a great skill to have. Through interacting with your blog during the first half of the course, your confidence and determination definitely shines through your work.
ReplyDeleteHi Walter,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed hearing how those who know you best describe your important traits. It seems that everyone know knows you comments on your communication skills, predominantly on your ability to hold a conversation with anyone. I believe that this skill is wildly useful for anyone in career, but specifically an entrepreneurial role that requires you to gain other's trust and confidence.
Hi Walter!
ReplyDeleteI love how you mentioned cultural competence as being one of the traits that make you different from others. This is an especially important trait in our increasingly diverse work and social environments. Having cultural competence allows you to more effectively understand and communicate with individuals from all facets of life. Overall, I think you have a strong and accurate assessment of what your secret sauce is!
