My daughter was one of my evaluators. She knows me better than just about anybody. She, as well as one of my colleagues said I exude confidence in my communication.
To summarize, we were in agreement with each other looking at the results of the surveys. I was surprised that I scored myself lower on the verbal agressiveness scale. All were in the moderate level but I see myself as less aggresive than my two assesors.
I find this survey affirmed that I am authentic in most of my interactions with family, friends and the public. Basically, what you see is what you get.

Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I thought the assessments were an accurate reflection of who I am as well. I like your point about being an authentic communicator with family, friends, and others. Your choice of caption "what you see is what you get" is perfect.
