2. Another strength of mine is that I'm very personable. I love being able to connect with others, so I always try to spread myself and reach out to new people and try to connect with them. This also plays a large role in my happy-go-lucky type personality.
3. I also pride myself on my drive to get things done. Whenever I want to do something, I always put in 100% effort until the job is fully complete. Having this drive also keeps me from procrastinating and staying on top of my work.
4. In addition, I do not really care what other people think about me. I'm very in-tune with myself and my abilities. This allows me to live my life freely and allows me to be happy with my choices.
5. Lastly, I'm very focused on details. This skill allows me to be very organized in group settings and helps set a path to get things done on time and correctly. Having this strength also contributes to my abilities as a strong leader.
Here is what my friends thought of me:
This is Kennedy. He says I stand out because I'm very personable, friendly, and that I also have no trouble putting myself out there. In addition, I'm always the first person to offer help whenever someone is in need.
This is Brandon. He says I stand out because I'm hard working, a great leader, and that I am good with people.
This is Eric. He says I stand out because I'm not afraid to be myself. I do not care about what other people think, so I am able to enjoy the things that I like to do. In addition, he says I am a happy-go-lucky type of person and a good leader.
Matt says I stand out because I am hardworking, friendly, and dedicated to whatever I set my mind too.
I see myself in the ways I mentioned above about my strengths. Generally, I am just a really friendly, happy person. As mentioned this is the same way, I come off to a lot of other people. I never really considered myself a good leader, rather I just see myself as someone who likes to get things done. Being in charge and proving myself to some of my friends has showed a lot of them that I am a good leader. I agree with everything said about my interviewees. I think my list still accurately portrays me.
Hey Justin,
ReplyDeleteI see that just about everyone mentions that you are a friendly or happy person, you also state that yourself, so I'll take their word for it. It's a great list characteristics that you have and you have some good friends that can all agree. Nice job on the assignment.

Hi Justin,
ReplyDeleteI think being a great people person is one of the most important traits an entrepreneur could have. It seems you have a great deal of human capital and your friends agree. In addition I have always found that being the type to take charge when no one else will is perhaps the number one trait of both an entrepreneur and a leader.
I wasn't able to complete this exercise so instead here is a link to my third elevator pitch: http://llogsdonent3003.blogspot.com/2016/03/elevator-pitch-no-3.html
Justin,
ReplyDeleteI think this assignment teaches us to learn things about ourselves. Your friends obviously see you as a leader even though you might not think of it that way and that is a very important quality to recognize that you have. It seems that they agree with your ability to get things done and they recognize that you are not affected by outside negative opinions. These are great qualities for the real world and you should continue to develop them. Take a look at my post below!
