Assignment 16 - What's Your Secret Sauce?

 Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. 

1. My passion and drive is my first quality that I believe makes me unique. My feelings towards a topic or subject are strong and sincere. I think I have a great ability to connect with people through this.

2. I believe that I can communicate my thoughts and ideas very well to others. This has come to good use when having to work in group projects to complete a common good.

3. I believe that I can be very charismatic when it comes to topics that I am interested in. I think this leadership quality is unique and can help in succeeding with my goals.

4. My optimistic viewpoint is another quality that I believe makes me unique. I always try to see the situation in a positive light, and try to figure out ways to improve and succeed.

5. My sense of humor is another quality that contributes to my human capital. Through my comedic side, I can connect with people and help lighten the mood in order to reduce stress that the group may face.


Interview the five people who know you the best.



From this interview, I learned more about an external viewpoint of my determination and drive. I continue with the task until the goal is achieved.


From this interview, I learned more about an external viewpoint on my hard working nature. This interview went into depth about my attitude when it comes to finishing projects.


From this interview, I learned more about my communication skills. This interviewee went into detail about how I can successfully communicate my message to others.


From this interview, I learned about another perspective of my dedication. My perseverance was one quality that was emphasized in this interview.


From this interview, I learned more about my drive and dedication. This interview went into detail with examples of how I have stayed optimistic and ensured that certain tasks will be successful.


Reflect on the differences.

How I see myself and how others see me draws many similarities. While doing these five interviews, I heard a lot of common themes such as my dedication and my hardworking personality. There may be some differences, but ultimately, I was happy to see that I had an accurate description of myself. These opinions about me came from different experiences each interviewee has had throughout our relationships. Overall, I do think that these interviewees were correct about me. I do not think I would make any corrections to my original list.

  1. Hi Dylan,

    It’s a blessing to have passion and drive. This will indeed set you apart from a large part of the working population. Most individuals are content with just getting by and do not have a desire or passion for anything. Also, being able to communicate well with others is another very desirable trait as it is important to be able to have others comprehend what you are trying to convey to them. Keep up the great work!

  2. Hi Dylan,

    Both your human capital and interviews are very similar to mine. Our interviewees both highlighted our dedication and hard work. I too saw differences in how I described myself vs how those who knew me well described me, but for the most part they had similar things to say. I think it is definitely rewarding to see that you have a good idea of who you are and what your human capital is, but I also think it is rewarding to have those close to you mention skills about yourself that you may not even notice you have.
