My Secret Sauce ;)

1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. What is it about you, exactly, that makes you different? Write this up in a detailed list. 
1. My drive for helping other.
2. Loyal follower/good listener
3. Hard working
4. Independent 
5. Caring 
2) Interview the five people who know you the best. Ask them what they think makes you different -- remember, focus on your knowledge, skills, abilities, emotions -- in other words, your human capital. Try to stay away from discussing your other types of capital (such as who you know). Record each interview. In your blog post, please post each interview, as well as a two-three sentence summary of each interview, explaining what your key takeaways are.
I had a lot of things going on this week and an exam so I couldn't record anything but had to text and email all the questions to everyone.
Kind, sweet, dependable, hard working
Caring, hard working, friendly, helpful
Quick on his feet, nice, goes out of his way to help others, funny
Reliable, dependable, kind, great heart

3) Reflect on the differences. How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? Are there differences in how you assess yourself compared to others? What do you think causes these differences? Do you think your interviewees are correct about you? Finally, going back to your list from part 1, would you make any corrections to the list? How? 
There are things that others noticed that I didn't consider myself. I think this is because others can see what you are like I don't really pay attention. I think that they mentioned other good qualities and would probably change caring to funny or quick on my feet.

  1. Hey Garret! I enjoyed your post and think you did a pretty good job on the assignment. The only problem is that I do not see your videos here that were required. If you have a link to them I would love to be able to watch them and give better feedback. But for the text part of the blog post I think you did a good job understanding yourself.

  2. Hey Garret, I love the color orange. And grey is alright too i guess. they blend very nicely together. there's nothing much else I can say because you didn't upload any videos for us. But maybe next time! So I'm just going to continue to say positive things until I reach the 60 word minimum mark. Oh! I just saw your prof. pic. I love hockey. Just went to my first game last weekend. Ok I hit my 60 word mark.

    Good luck

  4. Hey Garrett,

    Technology sucks sometimes I feel you. S/O Preston Kirkpatrick for being a smartass lil bihhh. What an awful first impression. Anyway, It looks like most of your traits matched up between your participants! That's a good sign that your personal brand is positioned the way you want. Keep up the good work.
