If a coworker had to make a pitch to me about your personality, what would they say?

"As a manager, and a person in general, my coworkers would describe me as unassuming and intuitive. I know what my team needs before they voice the need and I do not manage in a way that makes anyone feel inferior or afraid. I am talented but do not need to announce this or demand respect."

"My coworkers and I get along very well. I believe the first thing they would comment on is my level of sincerity with the team and with my customers. I am honest about my feelings but keep the feelings of others top of mind when delivering feedback, for example."

"My resourcefulness and exuberance are the two traits that my coworkers would comment on the most. I am not the type of marketer to just throw money at a situation. I dive deep into the research and use my creative mind to create successful strategies. I have a lot of energy at work and hope this exuberance rubs off on them even on the toughest of days."

"I am adaptable to any situation. My coworkers comment on this quite often because I have an uncanny ability to fit in with any type of client in any setting. I am a great salesperson to bring with you to meetings because of my ability to warm up a room."

"My sincerity and persistence with my students are the traits that my colleagues would speak to the most. I adore my students and truly care about their success. I encourage genuine conversation and never allow a student to speak poorly about themselves."
