16A What's Your Secret Sauce?
Self-Description:
- I am an outgoing and talkative human being
- Respectively brutally honest
- Self-motivated/determined
- Optimistic/Positive outlook and attitude on life
- Friendly to all types of people, regardless to their attitude/judgment of myself (if someone has a reason to dislike me or has a bad attitude) (I just want to be your friend)
Interviews from people that know me the best:
Interview #1: outgoing, super kind, extremely positive, motivated and a goal getter, hardworking, really good memory. Can always have a good time. Is never rude to people. Not judgmental.
Interview #2: Remi is a very up-beat person, but does try very hard for people to like her. She’s a people pleaser and will go the extra mile to make sure that you’re okay. She’s a hard worker and highly motivated. She is always moving and has her plate very fully it seems like.
Interview #3: You are one of the nicest people I know. You are extremely loyal and kind. I can always count on you when I need a favor. Multitasking is one of your best abilities. However, sometimes you can come off as naïve, but that is just so you don’t look like a bad person. Maybe you act naïve so you don’t have to deal with other issues or to avoid looking like the bad guy. Any way, you are defiantly a friend to all kind.
Interview #4: Super loyal and kind. Always willing to lend a hand to whoever needs it. Does avoid confrontation because she tends to want to please people. Always down to have a good time. Can be slightly overwhelming to people who do not have the same outgoing personality as her, but is always understanding about personal needs and boundaries. Willing to go on the fly (especially with cooking) and is totally a mom that wants to feed everyone.
Interview #5: Hard working and very motivated. You can be kind of a spaz sometimes. This only happens when you get into one of your really hyper moods. You are also very skittish and sometimes are not aware of your surroundings like one should be. You mean well and are kind to everyone you speak to. You are one of the most self-determined people I know. When you are given a task you are determined to finish it on the fly.
Reflection: I learned that there are a few things that I did not know about myself. I learned that I am a try hard. I can agree with this because I do think I am a people pleaser. I will do anything to make someone like me. I can agree that I like to avoid conflict and that I can sometimes come off as naïve. I would change a few things on my list including: scatterbrained from time-to-time and a try hard when it comes to likeability.
Hi Remi, it seems like you got some really good responses. It seems like you've received some positives as well as criticism, which I think is great because constructive criticism allows you to learn, improve and become a stronger leader. Most of your friends agree that you have a very friendly and kind personality, and I'm sure that can be an asset within your leadership style: within a business or professional setting, interpersonal and communication skills allow you to connect more with the people working with and for you, which will allow you to motivate them better.
ReplyDeleteRemi,
ReplyDeleteFrom what your interviews say about you, you are well equipped for entrepreneurship. Sometimes it isn't about what you know, it is about who you know. Everyone seemed to like you and think you were a kind person which should allow for you to make a lot of friends along your journey. Although being too kind and a "people pleaser" could be recipe for disaster in the business world. So make sure you don't let people take advantage of you and find a happy medium and you should do great.
