Where I Feel Confident:
The two skills that I feel confident in are people management and coordinating with others. I believe these two skills are things I excel in since I am a people person and I like to work with others. Most of the things I do are for others and helping others out so people management and coordinating with others assist me with that. Also, I can work with pretty much anyone even if someone might be difficult to work with which helps when coordinating with others in a project. Although I love people and most of what I do has other people's thoughts and feelings in consideration, I can always improve myself. I believe that if I find what audience I am trying to please with every problem that comes my way, I will have more knowledge of how to attack the problem with others.
Where I Can Improve:
The two skills that I can improve on are judgment and decision-making and negotiation. I am very much a people pleaser which makes me lack in these two areas. In order to improve on both of these areas, I plan on accepting that I can not please everyone that I come across and sometimes I need to put myself first in certain situations. I know it will be difficult for me to change my mindset about pleasing others, but it will help me in the long run. If I were to improve on these skills, I would not waste time trying to contemplate every little thing that could happen if I make a certain decision instead I would make a decision quicker therefore getting a result much quicker.
