5 Ways That My Human Capital Is Unique
1.     Charismatic- Being charismatic is not a skill that can be developed but rather it is something that one either has or doesn't. Whenever I meet somebody, I instantly do my best to form a connection with them and this allows them to trust me.
2.     Agreeable- This quality means that I am open to suggestions from all of those around me. I like to consider all possible options and then do my research in order to find the best solution to whatever task is at hand. Furthermore, this means that I take others' thoughts into consideration and do my best to compromise.
3.     Outgoing- In order to be a successful businesswoman, one must make many connections. Due to my outgoing nature, I am not shy and feel completely comfortable approaching anyone and speaking with them about their life experiences.
4.     Tenacious- Once I set my sights on something, I will accomplish whatever the task is regardless of the circumstances. This is crucial to have as someone in the business world because it is important to acknowledge that, many times, your ideas will be rejected but it is imperative to move forward from this downfall and strive to do better.
5.     Optimistic- Having a positive mindset is very important in the business world. As I mentioned previously, there will be many instances in which a business proposal will not go as hoped but it is important to remain optimistic and try again.
Summarizing the Interviews
  1.     My friend Jordan mentioned that I am an uplifting friend and then spoke about the importance of a businessperson having that quality. This is because I would be able to encourage customers to buy my services and allow them to feel comfortable doing so. His mother also spoke about how driven and intelligent I am, which are both qualities necessary to be a successful business woman.
  2.      Lauren spoke about how I am very good at making connections with other people. This will help me attract more customers in the business world.
  3.      Brett talked about how I am a natural leader and the fact that I know how to take control of a room. In regards to managing my own company, it is important that I am innovative and know how to lead meetings as well as run the company itself.
  4.      My friend Michelle emphasized the fact that I am constantly busy and know how to handle a hectic lifestyle. This is because I work two jobs and take an average of five classes every semester but still manage to make time for a social life as well. Although it may seem impossible, being able to manage a good work-life balance is crucial in being a good businesswoman.
  5.     Finally, Rachel talked about my sense of humor and how kind I am. These qualities are important for a business leader to have because it is necessary to be a person that your customers can relate to and admire.

Comparing My Own Thoughts to Others
  • ·        Most of my friends spoke about the fact that I am very passionate and tenacious, which is also how I would describe myself.
  • ·        All of the videos mentioned how great of a friend I am which I never truly realized. I am glad they feel this way and hope to continue treating them properly and my future employees and customers the same way.
  • ·        A lot of my friends talked about how nice and friendly I am as well as my great sense of humor. I agree with these and see myself as a very charismatic person so I am glad that others also see me in this light.
  • ·        I agree with all of the qualities that my friends listed and would not change any of the qualities I stated in my list because I feel they are all accurate and my friends agreed with me. I am so grateful to have amazing peers like them in my life.

  1. Iara,

    I really liked your videos. Everyone that you did the interviews with really seemed to genuinely know you and care for you. I tend to kid and joke around too much and always try to have a positive outlook, so I think we might have those characteristics in common.

    I think half the battle of life is remaining positive in the eyes of failure. I think this becomes even more important when you are talking about turning an idea into a viable concept.

    Thanks!

  2. I have some similar aspects share with you in terms of personal traits, but there was one thing that caught my eyes. I am a huge proponent of personal charisma like no one else. I do agree that one can not develop the aspect over time or learn from school. It’s naturally embedded in you, thus giving you extra edge among other people in competition especially in the job market.

  3. Great post lara. I really enjoyed watching all those videos of your friends talking about all your great qualities. It seems that you are a very positive and uplifting person which is a great quality to have in any future career you choose to pursue. I really think its something that is innate and that you really can't learn it in a traditional way. It comes from life experiences that mold you into who you are today
