personal persona is how I view myself, how I want
others to view me, and how others actually view
me. In order to understand my professional
persona, I did a self-assessment, sent out surveys
to my professional network, and evaluated
feedback from my peers. This document Amiable Expressive
summarizes the takeaways from those findings

Biggest Takeaways from the Findings


The surveys and the feedback from my peers have helped me realize that for the most part, my network views my
professional persona the way I want them to. It was interesting to see the correlation between the adjectives and my
people styles. They correlated more than I thought they would. My biggest strengths are being hard-working and being
social, which correlate with my self-proclamation of being a driven expressive. I not only learned what my strengths are,
but I also learned the areas I need to improve in, which were being more opinionated and more active in team settings.

This document highlighted my professional persona, and it did that by reeling in feedback from surveys and feedback
from 360 evaluations conducted by my peers. The feedback allowed me to understand my strengths and weaknesses.
Understanding these will help me truly achieve the professional persona I want the public to see. If you have any
