My Secret Sauce (BBQ!)

I think five ways that make me different within my human capital is that I am great at creating solutions on the spot. Granted this seems like something everyone can do but not in every situation. One of my past jobs dealt with the general public and every situation was different. You had to create solutions on the spot for each different situation which was not always easy but I felt I did it smoothly and easily. A second way that my human capital is truly unique is that since I know so many different people – I know everyone’s story. With that being said, I can somehow connect and relate to pretty much anyone you put in front me. It may connect to my life or experience or someone I have met prior to meeting that person. This is useful in the business world because customers always want someone (or product) that is similar to them and relatable. This may seem off but I feel it is important in making me unique! I am fairly short in height but I am mighty strong for my size. I love working out and staying fit. Although I am not bulging with muscle; I lift and workout constantly. There have been times when people have doubted me in my physical strength because they see a small girl in heels. But I can move a lot and have a lot of endurance which I think makes me unique. You never know, when creating a business, when you will have to put on your construction hat or presentation attire. Therefore, having all these abilities makes the process easier. Fourthly, I am not afraid to show my true colors these days. I am not someone to hide part of who I am because that would not be me. I do not act any way but myself and I think that shows strength that may set me a part in my own human capital. If you are not yourself in an interview then the job may not know who the person really is. If you are in a pitch and act like what you think they want – it may not be what the company is looking for to invest in. So it is best to always be yourself at the end of the day. And I am truly beginning to understand that concept. Lastly, I think what makes my human capital different is that I am a perfectionist but am not afraid to show my weak points. I will gladly tell you what I am not capable of doing (or doing poorly) I would not want to jeopardize something important to “get by” but would rather be up front that I am terrible at a certain task but offer what I am good at to be the best of help to others.   

I interviewed with my brother and it was honestly nice hearing him give raw and natural feedback. It was simply cool to hear his thoughts without knowing what the interview would be about beforehand to then create a rehearsed response.

I interviewed one of my close friends who knows me very well. What stuck out to me the most that she said was that I am an ice breaker. No one has ever called me an ice breaker but it was really awesome to have that kind of analogy so to speak. I can see it now that she mentioned it. I thought it was unique and interesting to hear her perspective.

I interviewed my grandma, mom, and dad in the last video. It was awesome to hear my family because it has been a long time since I have seen them. My key take away was that my grandma thinks I am confident. If only she saw me in my day-to-day life. But hearing her say that made me feel really special and somewhat accomplished!

I see myself as someone who is ever changing and evolving into someone better and stronger. That may sound cheesy but I can see it within the difference of a month versus myself comparing to myself at age 14. I think all these changes are for the better and continue to grow and learn a whole bunch about what I am truly capable of. Others seem to see me as someone who has a bigger than life personality. I think this is a little exaggerated but that seems to be the general consensus. Most see me as someone who is kind and willing to do for others. I mostly agree with that but I think people think too highly of me, in all honesty! There is certainly a discrepancy when comparing how I assess myself as others do. I think what causes these differences is past lower self-esteem. I still tend to think poorly of myself but am more comfortable with who I am in a sense that I am not timid or shy (never been a word to describe me). So sometimes I think that old part of me still creeps back in and does not allow me to see what others do. Since I chose five of the closest people to me, I would say they are correct about me. I take their opinions to heart and would not think they would lie to me so I would say they are correct. I would not change my list as I meant each difference that makes my own unique BBQ secret sauce human capital.
