16A –What’s Your Secret Sauce?

Five ways I have human capital:

  1. Passionate: If I set my mind to something I am passionate about, then I will go above and beyond to best convey whatever it might be. With passion I am able to get people motivated and eager about what I am passionate about. If there are obstacles, I will overcome them no matter the difficulty.
  2. Adventurous: I am daring. I love to try new things and I don't hold back. If something peaks my interest, or seems exciting and scary, I will do it. I love gaining new experiences, which lead me to grow as a person
  3. Friendly: To me there are no such things as strangers, only future friends. I have always been able to strike up a conversation with anyone. I have met great people and made connections this way. I love meeting new people and making friends. It does benefit to network, but I also really love people. 
  4. Leader: With my experiences in projects, work and internships, I have always been eager to take charge and lead the team. I feel as a leader I can be involved with everything and delegate tasks that I know is not possible alone. 
  5. Different Points of View: I think with my experiences of studying abroad, living in different states, going to school out of state, experiencing boarding school and much more, I have gained experiences that some people have not. This allows me to see different points of views.

Interviews:
1)
What I took away was my compassion for people, friendliness and sense of adventure/spontaneity. I am never scared to try new things either. I really appreciated all that she said. I'm glad to have her as a friend.

2)

I really appreciate what my brother says. I have designed his business cards before, and with any assignment I like to get it done right.  He says that I don't like to turn in things if it is not done correctly and it is true. I think it is a weakness as well because sometimes it makes me stress too much over certain things that end up not being important in life.

3)
What I took away was she notices my positivity and energy that I bring to the table. I can also say that I am a great motivator for teams as well. I bring excitement to the table, which makes people want to get their projects done. Sometimes it's also bad because then I get distracted.


4)
She speaks about my ability to talk to anyone and can put people at ease. I am a very friendly person and I can strike up a conversation with anyone. I didn't realize, but I am really good at communication. I never thought about it being a trait of mine.


5)
I took away from Rachel that I'm reliable and will always be supportive. I love helping other people and I have a strong compassion for people as well.

Reflection:
My friends see me in the same way as I see myself. My brother sees me differently or maybe even in a better light because he saw me grow up into who I am today. He has been with me since the beginning. He has seen the negative and positive and how I've grown. I am glad they see me in such a great light. I didn't expect them to say some of these very positive things. I am grateful to have them as my friends. I think my strong personality causes these differences. I am not usually a quiet person. I stand up for what is right and I am curious and eager to learn more. My goal in my life is to make an  impact on everyone I meet. I think I would take out points of view and put conversation/communication because that seemed to be a strong theme among my friends.

  1. Hi Shelby!
    I really enjoyed reading your blog post about your own “secret sauce”! It is really cool to get to know more about you through the post and to watch your friends and family have to say about you. I think your leadership skills and ability to see different people’s points of views will really serve you well in life and business.

  2. Hey Shelby,
    I think your brother's interview seems accurate after seeing the effort you put into this assignment. I felt the same way you did at the end, but forgot to write about it. I think this assignment was very nice to complete, and we all heard very positive things coming from the people we interviewed. My biggest takeaway from your interviews was that they were all very genuine, and you could tell that their opinions about you came straight from their hearts.

  3. Hi Shelby,

    I like how you included your last trait with different points of view. I think that is a very important trait to talk about because a lot of people are narrow-minded and see the world one particular way. It is very important to see from other people's perspectives. I like what your brother says about how you must turn in things correctly. I am the same way and think it is a good trait!
