What's your Secret Sauce?

1) What are five ways your human capital is unique

- First, my human capital is unique in how knowledgeable I am about human behavior and understanding human nature. My experiences working in counseling and advising settings at work, as well as being a Christian, has given me an understanding of how people make decisions and why they make decisions.
- Secondly, my skills in leadership and communication that have developed overtime are unique aspects of my capital. These skills are unique because they have been tested through various leadership opportunities and positions. They are not just vague soft skills, but skills refined by thought and research.
- Thirdly, my abilities are unique in that the social skills I do have are not just in a vacuum. But I have the ability to think in the bigger picture, not just in the details. I consider a decision in the context of history and look for patterns in how human beings have interacted in the past to develop a better prediction for the future.
- This also helps in the fourth category of emotion, where I am not tossed to and fro by the current conditions or cultural fads, but look to understand ideas and solutions that last and make a fundamental difference, not just a difference in the moment.
- Lastly, my human capital is unique in that I do not look to objectify those I am around or team members I am working with. But rather, treat each human being as someone with intrinsic value. This belief and understanding allows me to connect with people on a deeper level in work environments, which helps better determine the root cause of conflicts and problems when approaching an entrepreneural solution.

3) Reflection

My list is very similar to the information given during the interviews. It seemed that all interviewees gave feedback on my leadership and interpersonal skills, specifically my ability to counsel and listen. One of the interviewees' answers reminded me how these skills have contributed to past projects and experiences I have been successful in and explained how these would translate to an entrepreneural mindset. Some of the differences seen, such as my ability to think and compile coherent points to present on a topic (was not mentioned in interviews), I think were caused by a lack of communication with the specific people I interviewed. They themselves do not spend time around me in those settings as much and do not hear me talk to them about this skill that I have.
