Interview #5:

Summary: What my brother said in this interview really opened my eyes to realize that the people in your family can see your true value more than the people you thought you were close with outside of family.
Reflection: Based of all of the people that best knew me and the analysis they presented to me about myself, I have to say that there are a lot more similarities than differences in how I asses myself compared to how others see me. For as long as I have known these five individuals, I would say they are pretty spot on in how they describe the person I am, mainly because I have been through thick and thin with these guys and the bond we have is invincible. To be honest, after hearing what my interviewee's had to say about me, I would not change anything on my list because I know that those valued characteristics I put is what best represents me.
Hey Stuart,
ReplyDeleteIt’s nice to hear that the people you interviewed all agreed with you on more similarities than differences of the same human capital and characteristics that best make you different from others. You did a good job in interviewing family and also friends to help to understand multiple perspectives on how you're unique. I believe each of the five characteristics you listed would all help you immensely in pursuing a career in becoming an entrepreneur, and I hope this reassurance helps you figure out which traits you display well. Great post!
Hi Stuart! I strictly asked family members for this assignment so I think it's great that you asked primarily friends to give you feedback about what makes you special. My family submitted videos/ audio recordings to me and upon viewing them a common theme emerged. I am restless and relentless. I will try my hardest to achieve what I set my mind to, even if I fail at first.
ReplyDeleteHi Stuart,
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way in my reflection. I thought the people I interviewed had very similar responses that I did. Like in your situation, these people are very close to me and know me very well, so I think a lot of what they know about me is from years of experience. I mentioned in my post that it would be interesting to see how close the answers would be for someone that maybe doesn’t know you that well.
Hi Stuart,
ReplyDeleteI thought your reflection was great and you used lots of details to explain your traits and what others had to say about you. I enjoyed reading your summary at the end on why you chose these individuals and how they know you the best because you have been through thick and thin. I relate to your quality of honesty because it is key in making sure things go as planned and to prevent further mistakes.
